Major North American stock indices rose modestly on Friday to post a winning week. Technology shares weren’t the leader, and the Nasdaq Composite has been held in check by slippage in Nvidia (NVDA) stock since its Wednesday Q1 earnings and guidance release. NVDA was trading hands at about $215 near today’s close.
Yields and oil were modestly weaker on a slow day of Iran headlines. The bond selloff is on pause, at least for a day or two, as the 10-year consolidates about 4.5%.
The Canadian Dollar traded to a 6-week low, following news that Alberta would initiate a non-binding referendum question on the issue of the province potentially leaving Canada.
While the earnings calendar will enter a lull period, next week we’ll see the latest results from major Canadian financial institutions, as well as some American retailers.
