The S&P/TSX Composite jumped 1.5% to close at 33,390, setting a fresh record as a rotation into technology and precious metals outweighed pockets of earnings driven weakness. Information technology led sector gains, with Shopify surging 7.6% and Constellation Software adding 5.3%, tracking strength in US chipmakers and AI linked names after upbeat corporate positioning updates. Gold’s rally above 5,000 dollars per ounce supported miners, lifting Agnico Eagle 4.1%, Barrick Gold 4% and Wheaton Precious Metals 2.3%, as firm bullion prices improved cash flow expectations across the sector. Energy stocks also advanced in line with crude’s push toward monthly highs, with Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor Energy, Imperial Oil, and Cenovus Energy posting solid gains between 1.7% and 3.4%. Financials remained broadly constructive as Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal edged higher, though results driven volatility weighed on Industrial Alliance, which tumbled 11% after softer earnings.
