Investor sentiment was rattled by renewed trade tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100 per cent tariff on foreign-produced films, citing concerns over the decline of the American movie industry. This unexpected move added to global market uncertainty, particularly as investors awaited the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

On Wednesday, the TSX climbed on news of a scheduled U.S.-China meeting in Switzerland, which investors hope could ease trade tensions. The Federal Reserve also decided to hold interest rates steady at 4.25 per cent–4.5 per cent for the third consecutive meeting provided some reassurance to markets. Amid this backdrop, several TSX and TSX Venture-listed companies made significant announcements that could shape their near-term trajectories. Here are three standout stories: Sonoro Energy collaboration in the Middle East Sonoro Energy (TSXV:SNV, Forum) has entered into a collaboration with Advanced BioCatalytics Corp. and NexTier Energy LLC to enhance heavy oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East. This partnership combines cutting-edge biotechnology, advanced reservoir engineering, and regional energy leadership to tackle one of the most technically challenging areas in the oil and gas sector. The initiative centers on the use of environmentally responsible specialty chemical formulations developed by Advanced BioCatalytics. These next-generation solutions have shown promise in improving oil mobility and recovery efficiency. NexTier Energy will lead the technical design and implementation, while Sonoro, under the leadership of Chairperson Sara Akbar, will manage regional engagement and stakeholder alignment. Initial trials have already yielded encouraging results, positioning this collaboration as a potential game-changer in Middle Eastern oil recovery. Spectral Medical secures US$10M financing for sepsis therapy Spectral Medical (TSX:EDT, Forum), a late-stage theranostic company focused on sepsis treatment, has secured up to US$10 million in funding through a senior secured promissory note with Vantive US Healthcare LLC.

The first tranche of US$4 million was released on May 6, 2025. The note carries a 9 per cent annual payment-in-kind interest rate and matures in four years. Spectral emphasized that this funding should be sufficient to reach key milestones, including FDA submission and commercialization. This financial backing strengthens Spectral's position as it advances a potentially life-saving therapy for septic shock, a condition with high mortality and limited treatment options.

Peter Pascali, totalling up to C$5.575 million. The loan, to be issued in up to three tranches, will support working capital and general corporate purposes.
