Index Update: The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index settled with a gain of 135.40 points or 0.53% at 25,698.51.

Macro Update: The U.S data is showing a bigger than expected increase in U.S. consumer price inflation increased speculation the Federal Reserve will leave interest rates on hold for a prolonged period.

Top Movers: Shopify Inc (SHOP.TO) rallied 5.2%. Docebo Inc (DCBO.TO), Descartes Systems (DSG.TO) and Constellation Software (CSU.TO) gained 1.7 to 2%. Bitfarms (BITF.TO) gained 2.6%.

Our Stance: From a technical standpoint, the index remains in a solid uptrend, trading well above its 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), reinforcing bullish sentiment. The index is currently testing a key support level near 25,300, which will be pivotal in sustaining the uptrend. Holding above this level could maintain bullish momentum, while a breakdown may lead to a pullback, with key support zones at 25,100 and 24,800.

Commodity Update: The U.S. dollar and major currencies remained stable on Friday as traders evaluated the impact of Washington's planned reciprocal tariffs, which will not be immediately enforced. U.S. President Donald Trump instructed his economic team to develop plans for tariffs on countries taxing U.S. imports. Meanwhile, a U.S. producer price report alleviated concerns about inflation. Commodities have mixed performance: gold gained 0.35% to $2955.80, silver rose 1.58% to $33.24, and copper increased by 0.45% to $9533.95. Brent oil dropped 0.21% to $75.02, recovering from earlier losses as the tariff announcements were postponed until at least April, easing trade war fears.
