The S&P/TSX Composite rose 0.5% to trade above 30,502 on Wednesday, pushing toward record territory as a commodity-led bid across miners and energy names coincided with a rally in US tech. Gold’s break above $4,000 an ounce lifted gold miners and explorers, while a firmer copper complex underpinned base-metal producers and processors. Top performers included Ivanhoe Mines (5.8%), First Quantum (4.4%), Barrick (2.1%), Agnico Eagle (2%) and Teck Resources (1.4%). Mega-cap Shopify rebounded 3.3% after yesterday’s pullback, and Celestica surged 7.2%. Separately, talks between Canadian officials and the White House produced assurances of fair tariff treatment for Canadian exporters, trimming a key tail risk, although US commitment to the trilateral trade framework with Mexico appeared less certain.
