Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.5% to close at 33,943 on Wednesday, reclaiming territory as a sharp tech surge and banking stability offset broader commodity weakness. Shopify led the charge, jumping 6%, while Celestica (5.1%) and CAE (4.4%) bolstered the recovery. The financial sector provided firm support as Bank of Montreal (1.3%) and TD Bank (0.8%) turned positive, helping the index offset a 1.6% drop in Constellation Software. While precious metals were mixed, with Wheaton Precious Metals gaining 1.5% and Agnico Eagle softening 0.7%, the materials sector found strength in First Quantum (3%) and Ivanhoe Mines (3.7%). Despite ongoing Middle East infrastructure risks, the TSX utilized its software and banking core to maintain its record-breaking 2026 trajectory.
