The S&P/TSX Composite Index edged lower to trade below 34,500 on Thursday as investors assessed renewed tensions between the US and Iran alongside earnings from AI chip giant Nvidia. Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly ordered that the country’s near weapons-grade uranium should not be shipped abroad, despite US President Donald Trump having assured Israeli allies that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile would leave the country under any peace agreement. Oil prices rebounded, reviving concerns that a war-driven energy shock could lift inflation and keep interest rates elevated. Major banks traded mixed, with Royal Bank of Canada edging lower while TD Bank ticked up. Lower gold prices pressured mining shares, with Agnico Eagle down nearly 1% and Wheaton Precious Metals losing more than 0.5%. Nvidia's projections failed to impress analysts, pressuring Canadian tech stocks with Shopify dropping over 2%.
