TSX flat; cooling domestic CPI cushions impact of Wall Street selloff

Investing.com —

Canada's main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite, traded flat on Tuesday afternoon, as cooler than expected domestic inflation data raised hopes of early rate cuts from the Bank of Canada, with some analysts noting that a rate cut may be on the cards as early as April.

Wall Street’s main indices meanwhile declined, as expectations of early rate cuts from the Federal Reserve continued to fade, pressuring tech stocks. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell sharply ahead of earnings as market participants worry that results from what is now the third-most valuable U.S. company may be unable to justify valuations.
