Chart comparing same-day percentage moves across six major markets, including oil, the loonie, and the TSX.

Six major markets closed the same session with sharply different reactions to the day's news. WTI crude and the VIX volatility index each moved by a full percentage point or more, while the Canadian dollar, the TSX, and the Government of Canada 10-year yield all stayed within a third of a point of unchanged. Canadian Natural and Suncor rallied more than 1% on the oil spike, but new US import restrictions and Ottawa's own tariffs weighed harder on RBC, BMO, and Shopify than energy strength offset.
