Prediction: Mixed performance, tech under pressure, mining/defensive strength
Equities have shown rebuilding momentum, but sentiment remains cautious. Some indexes, like Canada’s TSX, are gaining led by materials & mining stocks as miners benefit from metals price swings.
Tech stocks may continue to lag if risk aversion persists and AI/tech valuation concerns remain.
Key catalysts this week: U.S. jobs report and inflation data — strong macro could support markets; weak macro could fuel risk-off reactions.
Outlook: Neutral with mixed sector leadership.
