TSX Slips on US-Iran Uncertainty

The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.3% to close at 34,857 on Friday as investors reacted to the suspension of US-Iran talks. The discussions, aimed at addressing Iran’s nuclear program following a recently signed memorandum of understanding, were delayed, while the Federal Reserve’s surprise hawkish shift earlier in the week continued to weigh on sentiment. Financial stocks traded mixed, with RBC down 0.4% and TD Bank up 0.4%. Brookfield edged higher amid reports it is the frontrunner to acquire a controlling stake in XpFibre. Mining stocks moved lower as gold prices extended losses, with WPM down 4.8%, Agnico Eagle losing 2%, and Barrick falling 1.6%. Energy stocks were mixed amid uncertainty over US-Iran diplomacy, with Canadian Natural rising 1.2%, while Imperial Oil shed 0.6%.
