Tech 5: US Lifts EDA Restrictions for China, Apple Explores Third Party AI for Siri

The stock markets had a dynamic start to the third quarter, pushing indices to new highs after earlier tariff concerns.

On Monday (June 30), markets generally saw strong gains, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) and Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) reaching new record highs in the US while the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) climbed higher after a last-minute policy reversal to rescind a planned digital services tax targeting US tech firms.

Tuesday (July 1), Canadian markets were closed for Canada Day. As for US markets, following two consecutive days of highs, the S&P and Nasdaq declined on Tuesday (July 1) after a renewed feud between Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump sent Tesla shares down by over 5 percent.

However, tech stocks boosted the performance of both Canadian and US markets on Wednesday (July 2) and Thursday (July 3) after export restrictions to China were lifted and the US labor market reported better-than-expected unemployment data.

US markets were closed on Friday (July 4) for a holiday, while Canadian markets ended the day slightly positive.
