  "account": "On Tuesday, futures linked to Canada's main stock index slipped as government bond yields rose and oil prices surged, raising investor concerns ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting. By 07:05 ET, the S&P/TSX 60 index standard futures contract had dropped by 3 points, or 0.2%. The S&P/TSX composite index inched up by 0.01% on Monday, closing at 35,702.53, just above a six-week low reached last week. Canadian traders analyzed domestic data showing consumer prices increased by 3% year-on-year in August, matching expectations but still surpassing the Bank of Canada's 2% target.\n\nThe materials sector, including metal mining shares, declined as gold and copper prices fell due to expectations of a tighter monetary policy from the Fed. Energy stocks saw a rise following a steep increase in oil prices after the closure of a major Saudi east-west pipeline. U.S. stock index futures also declined, with tech stocks falling broadly in premarket trade due to concerns surrounding AI development. Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms all experienced minor dips.\n\nHowever, AI chip company Nvidia reversed this trend, climbing slightly after sliding by more than 3% in the previous session. Meanwhile, oil prices rallied after Saudi Arabia closed its critical east-west pipeline, which serves as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts at ING noted that the pipeline's outage may last between three to five weeks, while traders suggested a possible disruption of up to 4% of global oil supply. Consequently, confidence grew that the Fed would raise interest rates during their latest meeting on Wednesday, with a 92% chance of a quarter-point increase.",
