Investing.com – Canada’s main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite, tracked the Dow Jones higher today, supported by financials.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq meanwhile remained subdued, extending a rough start to 2024 as ADP (NASDAQ:ADP) National Employment report, private payrolls and weekly jobless claims indicated robustness in the labour market, leading traders to push back the timeline for rate cuts from the Fed.

Tech stocks were further pressured by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), as shares slid to eight week lows following a downgrade from Piper Sandler, coming just days after a ratings cut from Barclays (LON:BARC).
