The TSX composite eased 0.08% on Friday, ending a six-session winning streak that had carried the index to an intraday record of 36,844.73 on Thursday. Technology names led the pullback, tracking weakness among US hyperscalers, while soft US retail sales data weighed on sentiment broadly. Monday's overnight tape showed oil, gold, and the VIX all moving higher together as an interim Hormuz ceasefire formally expired, a risk-off signal across commodities and volatility rather than a single-asset move.
