Bar chart comparing Friday's percentage moves across the TSX, gold, Brent, WTI crude and the Canadian dollar.

Gold, Brent, the Canadian dollar and WTI all rose Friday even as the TSX Composite slipped, with WTI adding 0.40% to settle near $81.68 despite stalled diplomatic talks over the Strait of Hormuz. That non-reaction marks a shift from earlier in the week, when similar headlines had moved Brent several dollars within hours. An IEA demand downgrade and a 17.4 million barrel jump in US crude inventories, the largest weekly build since January 2023, did more to move prices Friday than the geopolitical rhetoric itself.
