Mounting geopolitical pressures are reshaping market dynamics—TSX futures are climbing as investors rotate into defensive positions. The flight to safety is particularly evident in precious metals, where buying interest has surged dramatically. This shift reveals how macroeconomic uncertainty ripples across asset classes: when risk sentiment weakens, traditional havens like gold and silver absorb flows, which in turn supports commodity-linked indices like the TSX. For traders monitoring broader market sentiment, this pattern often precedes volatility in riskier assets.
