CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens lower as markets assess US-Iran standoff, AI uncertainty
Apr 28, 2026 7:01 AM

April 28 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened

lower on Tuesday, with tech shares leading the declines, as

investors weighed the ongoing stalemate in the Iran war and the

skepticism about whether AI investments can generate sustainable

returns for tech stocks.

At 9:30 a.m. ET, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX

composite index was down 0.1% at 33,757.85 points.
