Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Index hovered below the flatline at the 27,920 mark on Friday, as investors focused on upcoming high-stakes US–Russia summit to discuss a potential end to the war in Ukraine, while also parsing a batch of domestic economic data. Major miners led the downside with Agnico Eagle and Wheaton Precious down more than 0.5% and mega-cap Shopify trimming about 0.5%, while software heavyweight Constellation Software outperformed, rising just over 2%, and Thomson Reuters added nearly 1%. Economically, manufacturing sales rose 0.3% and wholesale sales gained 0.7% to C$84.7bn, signs of selective strength that helped cap losses. For the week the Toronto exchange was poised to finish with a modest advance of roughly 0.6%.
