The S&P TSX Composite Index edged higher to above the 32,900 mark on Thursday, extending record highs as gains in tech and financials offset a broad pullback in commodity-linked names. Technology stocks led the advance, with Shopify rising over 1% after strong results from TSMC reignited global demand for AI-exposed companies, while major banks also firmed to support the index. Sentiment was further underpinned by optimistic remarks from Prime Minister Carney, who pointed to improving trade ties with China. Those gains were partly capped by weakness in energy, as Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, Imperial Oil and Cenovus fell between 1.5% and 2.2% after crude prices retreated when US President Trump downplayed the likelihood of US intervention in Iran, reinforcing expectations of ample Middle Eastern supply. Mining stocks also weighed, with Agnico Eagle, Barrick, Wheaton Precious Metals and Franco-Nevada down around 1% as gold prices pulled back from record highs on profit-taking.
