The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose more than 1% on Friday, trading above 31,500 and setting a record intraday high, supported by gains in commodity-linked shares and banks. Energy stocks advanced as higher oil prices lifted Canadian Natural nearly 2%, Suncor 0.6%, and Tourmaline over 1%. In mining, Barrick gained more than 2% and Agnico Eagle rose 3% as gold prices firmed. Lundin Mining climbed over 2.5% after announcing plans to sell its Eagle nickel-copper mine and the Humboldt Mill to Talon Metals, whose shares surged about 30%. Banks also contributed, with RBC up nearly 1%, TD Bank advancing 0.5%, and BMO rising close to 1%. On the downside, Loblaw edged lower after Canada’s retail sales fell 0.2% in October, slightly below expectations. BlackBerry tumbled more than 10% after RBC Capital reiterated its rating and $4.50 price target, citing mixed third-quarter results and noting that revenue strength reflected one-off contributions from the Secure Communications division.
