Stockchase After the Close
Wednesday saw the release of July’s consumer inflation print in the U.S. which reflected the four-straight month of declines. The numbers were modestly lower than what the street expected, reinforcing the belief that the U.S. Fed will cut interest rates in September. The S&P added 0.4%, the Nasdaq 0.1% and the Dow by 0.66%. Kellanova stole headlines, though, when Mars announced it was buying the snack company for US$36 billion in the biggest deal of 2024.
Other notable names: Tesla -3.02%, Albemarle -5.65%, Progressive Corp.5.41% and Charles Schwab 4.8%. The U.S. 10-year yield edged down to 3.837% while Bitcoin slumped 2.5% to US$59,000.
Similarly, the TSX rose 0.54% in overall positive trading. CAE reported a beat and rallied 5%, though Franco-Nevada missed and sank 4.8%. Tilray announced it was buying several beer brands from Molson’s and jumped 4.33% while Element Fleet Management climbed 5.62%. CNQ added 1.02% as the most-active name. Gold retreated US $17 to US$2,447 an ounce while WTI slipped 1.6% to US$77.
