  • TSX surges over 430 points as U.S. markets rally on easing Iran tensions
    March 23, 2026, 3:23 PM EDT. The S&P/TSX composite index jumped 435.21 points to 31,752.62, recovering from an early morning surge of nearly 700 points. U.S. markets also soared, with the Dow Jones up 738.21 points at 46,315.68, the S&P 500 rising 84.08 points, and the Nasdaq climbing 294.05 points. The sudden market reversal followed a tweet from President Trump announcing a five-day pause in plans to attack Iranian energy facilities amid developing talks. This eased fears of escalating conflict disrupting global oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic chokepoint. Despite the rebound, volatility remains high due to geopolitical uncertainty, with crude oil prices falling nearly $10 to $88.56 a barrel. Analysts caution that U.S. policy uncertainty continues to weigh heavily on investor sentiment and economic outlooks.
