TSX Futures Rise on US-Iran Peace Deal Hopes
Futures tracking the S&P/TSX Composite Index edged higher on Friday as hopes for easing Middle East tensions left the benchmark poised for a fourth consecutive week of gains. US President Trump expressed confidence that a deal to end the Iran war could soon be reached, which would restore shipping through the Gulf region and lower oil prices. Lower bond yields offered support to banking stocks and the broader index. Energy producers, however, are set to open lower. Meanwhile, gold edged up, lending support to mining stocks. Investors also await a slate of earnings next week, including Waste Connections and Fairfax Financial, to gauge how companies are navigating the headwinds from the Iran war.

TSX Edges Lower Despite Middle East Peace Hopes
The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.30% to close at 34,052.23 on Thursday, despite markets getting an extra lift after President Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and mediators signaled progress on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. While geopolitical optimism grew, oil prices rose amid supply uncertainty, causing energy stocks to extend gains, driven by today's boost in oil prices, with Canadian Natural up 0.92%. Meanwhile, major banks such as TD and BMO traded lower (-0.20% and -0.40%) as the oil rally cooled and stagflation fears eased, and European buyers like Uniper continued exploring Canadian LNG purchases to diversify supply. Elsewhere, gold remained resilient, leaving Agnico Eagle nearly flat (-0.03%), while Canadian Pacific Railway led the broader market declines with a 1.37% drop.
