TSX flat at 36,145 as Nvidia fallout weighs on tech

TORONTO – The S&P/TSX composite index was nearly unchanged at midday Friday, up 0.022 per cent, as a slump in artificial intelligence stocks on Wall Street offset gains in Toronto’s utilities and real estate shares.

The index stood at 36,145.17, up 7.98 points from Thursday’s close of 36,137.19, as of 12:32 p.m. ET, according to TMX Money. A second market-data feed showed the index at 36,145.63 at about the same time. The figures are intraday and will change through the session. TMX Money showed the index up 13.952 per cent so far this year.

The Associated Press reported that Wall Street swung sharply in morning trading and remained on track for its first winning week since early October, with the S&P 500 on course for a weekly gain of 1.9 per cent. The AP said the Dow Jones industrial average was down 67 points, or 0.1 per cent, as of 10:37 a.m. ET, and the Nasdaq composite was down 1.8 per cent. Nvidia fell 4.1 per cent, Broadcom 6.6 per cent and Advanced Micro Devices 10 per cent, the AP said, a day after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned. The AP said Nvidia’s longtime chief financial officer, Colette Kress, will be interim CEO.

The AP said Brent crude was up 0.8 per cent at US$96.63 a barrel, and that the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury rose to 5.13 per cent from 5.10 per cent late Thursday. It also reported that the Federal Reserve is expected to raise its benchmark interest rate at its December meeting.
