Canadian and U.S. stocks down after Israeli attacks on Iran, price of oil jumps
TORONTO - Canada's main stock index closed down along with U.S. markets Friday as investors turned cautious following Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear and military targets. The attacks, which prompted Iran to fire missiles at Israel in retaliation, raised fears the conflict could escalate further and led to a spike in the price of oil. 'It's clearly a risk-off situation, and a spot where people that maybe want to take a little bit of risk off the table have the opportunity to do so,' said Dustin Reid, chief fixed income strategist at Mackenzie Investments. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Oil prices leapt, and stocks fell on worries that escalating violence following Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear and military targets could damage the flow of crude around the world, along with the global economy. (AP Video / June 13, 2025) The price of oil, already rising this week, spiked over fears of supply and trade disruptions, with the August crude oil contract up US$4.65 at US$71.29 per barrel. Higher oil prices helped soften the effects of the pullback on the S&P/TSX composite index, which closed down 111.40 points at 26,504.35 but was less affected than U.S. markets, noted Reid. 'You see materials and energy, subcomponents here within the TSX doing a little bit better, and keeping the index probably, you know, outperforming versus others.' The TSX energy index was up 2.8 per cent and gold stocks moved higher as the metal also rose, helping offset losses in most other sectors including financials, telecoms and technology. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 769.83 points, or 1.8 per cent, at 42,197.79. The S&P 500 index was down 68.29 points at 5,976.97, while the Nasdaq composite was down 255.66 points at 19,406.83. A big concern for markets is that higher oil prices will put pressure on inflation, and in turn affect interest rate decisions, said Reid. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'It's not particularly constructive for the idea that central banks can cut rates any time soon.' The higher prices could also dampen consumer spending, while the wider situation also creates higher degrees of uncertainty, he said. 'It's probably not great for global sentiment, consumer sentiment,' said Reid. 'So I am a little bit concerned here that the gains that have been had over the last handful of weeks, could be somewhat at risk.' The Canadian dollar rose, trading for 73.54 cents US compared with 73.46 cents US on Thursday, thanks in part to higher oil prices, but it didn't move as much as it might have because investors fled to the U.S. dollar for safety, said Reid. 'The Canadian dollar is surprisingly flat, kind of net net today, against the U.S. dollar anyway,' he said. 'We are seeing a decent bid for the U.S. dollar on safe haven, which has not been the case particularly since early April.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The Canadian dollar wasn't helped by manufacturing sales data out Friday that showed a fall of 2.8 per cent in April, the largest monthly drop since October 2023, as the tariff dispute with the United States hit the industry. 'The organic Canadian economy is slowing, and will continue to slow, and you can see it across different spots of the economy, manufacturing clearly being one,' said Reid. The July natural gas contract was up nine cents US at US$3.58 per mmBTU. The August gold contract was up US$50.40 at US$3,452.80 an ounce and the July copper contract was down three cents US at US$4.81 a pound.

Crude spike driven by Mideast tumult may be a 'knee jerk' that quickly fades: Analyst
Published Jun 13, 2025 • 3 minute read An oil pumpjack is pictured with a drilling rig in the background at a work site in Alberta. Photo by Postmedia file CALGARY — It's too soon to know whether a spike in crude prices driven by the latest Mideast turmoil will be a short-term blip or a long-term shift, Canadian oilpatch experts said Friday after Israel attacked nuclear and military sites across Iran.

'Over time, should there be no impact on supply or energy infrastructure, price spikes like this fade as it really doesn't impact the supply and demand balance.' The July contract for West Texas Intermediate crude settled at US$72.98 per barrel, a more than seven per cent increase over Thursday. The price of fuel at the pump tends to move in tandem with the raw product used to make it, crude oil. 'You might get a little bit of a pop here, but I suspect it would be minimal unless it's truly sustained for a long period,' Salazar said. Fuel price-tracking website says the national average price of unleaded gasoline in Canada is 136.1 cents a litre, up a penny day over day.

'I would expect that over the next couple of days, we probably will see prices rising, maybe five to 10 cents a litre,' Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at Diesel prices could see a bigger jolt, as inventories are almost 20 per cent below the five-year average for this time of year, De Haan added. That would be bad news for truckers and farmers. 'This situation could be short or it could be very lengthy for the course of the summer,' De Haan said. 'So a lot remains to be seen as this is a very fresh situation and it's unfolding in front of us.' The energy subindex on the S&P/TSX composite index was up 2.8 per cent on a day that the overall Canadian market lost more than 100 points. Friday's attack appeared to be the most significant Iran has faced since it's 1980s war with Iraq. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Israeli leaders cast it as a necessary move to head off an imminent nuclear threat. Iran quickly retaliated by sending missiles into Israel. A wide range of price scenarios could result from the ratcheting up in Mideast hostilities, said Jackie Forrest, managing director of energy research at Arc Financial Corp. 'I don't think anyone's making any decisions, probably just trying to understand a bit more what the likelihood of each of these scenarios is,' she said. Prices could settle back to normal in short order if the conflict is resolved quickly, she said. Or, in an extreme and unlikely case, the Strait of Hormuz gets cut off and crude price soar north of US$100 per barrel. The strait is a crucial oil transit point connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, through which up to 20 per cent of the globe's oil supply moves every day. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. A more likely outcome, Forrest said, would be if there were some disruption to Iran's ability to export its own crude — a loss of up to 1.8 million barrels a day to the global market. 'I think that prices probably stay more moderate in that scenario because the (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) group has about six million barrels a day of spare capacity right now, and so they are able to offset the loss of Iranian supply if that were to occur,' she said. Iran was the ninth largest oil producer in the world as of 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Canada was in the fourth spot. Salazar and Forrest agreed the Israel-Iran conflict may highlight the role Canada could play as a stable global supplier of crude. 'But our issue is we don't have very many barrels that hit the international market. The vast majority of our crude oil goes to the United States,' said Forrest. 'If we had more pipelines to tidewater and had higher production, then people would be interested in our supply, because so much of the world's oil supply comes through some of these choke points and creates energy security and supply security issues.' — With files from The Associated Press World Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto & GTA Canada Celebrity
