The Canadian markets finally began to take a positive turn, with most large-cap sectors in the green.

The Bank of Canada recently announced it is looking to steady crypto investments with a new report emphasizing the need to regulate said assets; otherwise, there could be severe risks for the overall financial system.

South of the border, U.S. stocks saw a similar trend, with energy and big pharma drawing back investors’ attention. Despite this, Wall Street strategists are still foreshadowing that a 2008 recession repeat is soon to come.
