With inflation concerns still at a boiling point, equities in Canada’s largest market dropped nearly 1 per cent on Wednesday as Treasury yields firmed ahead of key U.S. inflation data coming later this week. Disappointing results from Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) led the financials sector to a low not seen in a month.

U.S. stocks also slid in rocky trading as AI golden boy Nvidia Corp. (NDAQ:NVDA; NEO:NVDA) was one of the few to perform well, though the tech-heavy NASDAQ essentially gave up the gains it made in the previous session.
