Chart comparing same-day moves across six markets, showing a risk-off tilt across equities, currencies and bonds.

Two jobs reports landed minutes apart on the same Friday morning and pointed in opposite directions, with Canada shedding jobs while US hiring beat forecasts by a wide margin. The currency reaction did some of the rebalancing work, as USD/CAD weakened toward its softest level for the loonie in nearly two weeks, cushioning TSX-listed exporters exposed to a weaker Canadian dollar. Wall Street's three main indexes each fell more than 0.4 percent the same session even as the TSX Composite held roughly flat.
