What’s going on here?
The Toronto Stock Exchange reached new heights, hitting 25,895.89 points, thanks to cooling US-China trade tensions.
What does this mean?
Eased tariffs between the US and China have instilled optimism in global markets, driving gains on Canada’s trading floor. The S&P/TSX Composite Index saw Industrials and Telecoms climb by 1.78% and 1.33%, while Energy and Base Metals dropped 1.34% and 0.83%. According to SIA Wealth Management’s chief market strategist, despite a mixed economic backdrop, Toronto outperforms US indices with a 4.7% rise in 2025, supported by defensive sectors and strong gold stock investments. High gold prices, reaching $3,234.20 an ounce, partly fuel Canada’s growth as the US dollar weakens due to inflationary pressure.
