Bar chart comparing weekly percentage changes in Brent crude, the Canadian dollar, the TSX and gold for July 6 to 10, 2026.

This scorecard tracks four major Canadian-relevant assets over the week ending July 10, as Iran's strikes on four countries widened the war further than at any point since it began. Oil rose and the Canadian dollar strengthened on a stronger-than-expected June jobs report, while the TSX held near its highs. Gold fell despite the escalation, as traders leaned into rising odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike, which typically weighs on non-yielding assets more than geopolitical risk lifts them.
