The Canadian Index

Bar chart comparing weekly percentage moves across the TSX, U.S. indexes, gold, oil, and the Canadian dollar, with WTI the top mover.

CAD is charted on the currency side of USD/CAD, so a positive value here means the loonie strengthened against the US dollar over the week. WTI led the board with a 6.6% weekly gain tied to a Hormuz supply-risk story, while gold's smaller advance reflected a separate fiscal-credibility narrative around US Treasury yields, two unrelated forces pushing commodities higher at the same time. The loonie's own weekly gain came mostly from weak US retail sales data narrowing the yield differential, not from domestic Bank of Canada hawkishness.
