S&P/TSX Composite rises 203 points to 36,009 as Aecon jumps on near C$3 billion Pickering contract
AI Market Summary
Canadian equities strengthened as Bank of Canada commentary signaled improving exports, investment, and hiring, offsetting mixed commodity signals. Early strength in oil and copper supported cyclical sentiment, while continued declines in gold and silver weighed on precious-metals exposure. Potash headlines added trade-policy uncertainty for Canadian fertilizer producers, and UNGA-related Middle East diplomacy risk kept energy markets and broader risk appetite sensitive to geopolitical developments.
