FX.co ★ Canada TSX Futures Flat Ahead of Key US Data

Futures tied to Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Index were little changed on Tuesday, as investors avoided making major moves ahead of key US economic data due later this week.

Gold prices declined, giving back some of the strong gains from the previous session and putting pressure on mining shares. In contrast, oil prices advanced amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, reinforcing concerns about potential supply disruptions in the Middle East and supporting energy producers.

On the corporate front, markets were looking ahead to earnings from Constellation Software and Intact Financial, scheduled for release later in the day. Results from Great-West Lifeco, Manulife Financial, Shopify, Sun Life Financial, and Waste Connections are expected on Wednesday.
