Friday's TSX gain to 36,620.23 was narrow, led by gold miners and financials while retailers lagged, and futures pointed softer as Iran sanctions, Nvidia earnings, and a closely watched Jackson Hole speech from a leading Fed contender all landed within seventy-two hours. USD/CAD weakened toward 1.385 the same morning even as the broader US dollar index softened, a domestic trade-dispute signal overriding the global currency trend. The index had hit a record 36,844.73 on August 14 before an August 18 reversal tied to a global bond yield spike.
