A day after posting its biggest single-day percentage gain in seven months, the Canadian stock market fell sharply on Thursday as investors reacted to largely mixed corporate results, renewed geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Iran conflict, and lingering concerns about Canada-U.S. trade relations. The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged by 736 points, or 2%, to settle at 35,605 — marking its biggest single-day percentage decline in five while erasing nearly all of its weekly gains.

Even as strengthening gold prices helped some mining stocks trend higher, big intraday losses in many other key market sectors like financials, technology, and consumer cyclicals weighed heavily on the TSX benchmark, dragging it back below the 36,000-point level.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Gildan Activewear (TSX: GIL) tanked by nearly 19% to $49.04 per share, making it the worst-performing TSX stock for the day. This selloff in GIL stock came after the Montreal-based apparel manufacturer delivered disappointing third-quarter results and sharply cut its full-year outlook. While its quarterly revenue jumped 61% year-over-year, mainly due to its HanesBrands acquisition, sales fell short of expectations as weaker consumer demand weighed on its business.

Despite a 54% increase in its adjusted earnings, Gildan lowered its full-year revenue forecast to between US$5.4 billion and US$5.5 billion. The company also withdrew its longer-term financial targets, citing rising interest rates, persistent inflation, and weaker demand for apparel. These disappointing forecasts and concerns about slowing consumer spending appeared to drive GIL stock sharply lower.

Russel Metals, Celestica, and Lundin Mining also dived by more than 11% each, placing them among the session’s bottom performers on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Despite the broader market selloff, Labrador Iron Ore Royalty (TSX: LIF) climbed 8.5% following the release of its third-quarter 2026 financial results. Although its quarterly royalty revenue fell 8% from a year ago, it improved 19% from the previous quarter.

Meanwhile, iron ore sales volumes at the Iron Ore Company of Canada, in which Labrador Iron Ore Royalty holds an ownership stake of over 15%, rose 24% from the previous quarter. Despite continued pressure from weaker iron ore prices and softer Chinese steel demand, the company’s improving quarterly performance appeared to encourage investors to buy LIF stock.

Torex Resources, OceanaGold, and Allied Gold also rose by at least 6.4% each, making them among the day’s top-performing TSX stocks.

Based on their daily trade volume, Canadian Natural Resources, Enbridge, Suncor Energy, Telus, and BCE were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

Commodity prices across the board were mixed in early Friday trading, pointing to a flat open for the resource-heavy main TSX index today.

In addition to Canada’s employment data, Canadian investors will closely monitor the latest U.S. jobs report and preliminary consumer sentiment figures this morning. Meanwhile, investors will continue to assess the implications of the Democrats’ sweeping victory in the U.S. midterm elections for Canada-U.S. trade relations.

On the corporate events front, Constellation Software, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, ATCO, Enbridge, Emera, Canadian Utilities, Algonquin Power & Utilities, Parex Resources, and Brookfield Asset Management will release their latest quarterly earnings reports today, which could keep several key TSX sectors in focus throughout the session.

Despite a massive intraday decline in oil prices, Canadian equities jumped sharply on Wednesday as a recovery in precious metals prices, improving global market sentiment following the U.S. midterm elections, and growing optimism about Canada-U.S. trade talks encouraged investors to buy stocks. As a result, the S&P/TSX Composite Index surged by 809 points, or 2.3%, to settle at 36,341 — registering its biggest single-day percentage gain in seven months.

Even as a 9% decline in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures prices pressured energy stocks, most other key stock market sectors, including mining, consumer cyclicals, technology, and financials, staged an impressive rally, helping the TSX recover its recent losses and climb back above the psychologically important 36,000-point level.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

As gold and silver prices rose sharply, mining stocks like Discovery Mining, G Mining Ventures, Americas Gold and Silver, and Equinox Gold climbed by more than 12% each, making them the session’s top-performing TSX stocks.

Fairfax Financial (TSX: FFH) was also among the day’s top gainers on the Toronto Stock Exchange, as its shares rallied nearly 11% following the release of its third-quarter financial results. The Toronto-based insurance giant reported quarterly net profit of US$929.6 million, down from US$1.15 billion a year ago, mainly due to investment losses.

However, Fairfax’s gross insurance premiums rose 9.3% year-over-year, while adjusted operating income from its property and casualty insurance businesses increased to US$1.38 billion from US$1.34 billion. The company highlighted its selection by the Indian government to acquire a majority stake in IDBI Bank for roughly US$5.6 billion. These positive developments and continued strength in its insurance operations helped drive FFH stock higher.

In contrast, Vermilion Energy, Enerflex, Superior Plus, and Element Fleet Management plunged by at least 11% each, making them the worst-performing TSX stocks for the day.

Based on their daily trade volume, Ivanhoe Mines, Telus, Canadian Natural Resources, Whitecap Resources, and Cenovus Energy were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

Gold and silver prices extended their upward momentum in early Thursday trading, raising hopes of further gains in TSX mining shares at the open today after their impressive performance in the previous session.

Meanwhile, Canadian investors will closely monitor the latest developments in Canada-U.S. trade negotiations after Prime Minister Mark Carney recently indicated that Washington had softened some of its earlier demands.

On the economic front, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem is scheduled to appear before the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy today. His remarks could provide fresh insights into Canada’s inflation outlook, economic conditions, and the central bank’s future monetary policy decisions.

On the corporate events side, several TSX-listed companies, including NFI Group, Definity Financial, IGM Financial, Saputo, Badger Infrastructure, Pembina Pipeline, Wheaton Precious Metals, Quebecor, Bombardier, TC Energy, BCE, Lightspeed Commerce, Canadian Natural Resources, AtkinsRéalis Group, Brookfield Business Holdings, Open Text, First Majestic Silver, and MDA Space, will announce their latest quarterly results today.

With the TSX coming off an impressive 809-point rally, these developments and earnings releases could influence investor sentiment and market direction throughout today’s session.

Despite largely upbeat corporate earnings reports, Canadian stocks fell on Tuesday as renewed escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions, declining metals prices, and a tech sector selloff weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged by 269 points, or 0.8%, to settle at 35,532.

Even as select healthcare and utility stocks trended higher, steep losses in most other key market sectors, including technology, mining, and consumer cyclicals, dragged the TSX benchmark down.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Thomson Reuters (TSX: TRI), Allied Properties REIT, Shopify, and Americas Gold and Silver were the worst-performing TSX stocks for the day, with each diving by at least 5.3%.

The weakness in Thomson Reuters shares came after the Toronto-based information and technology services giant released its third-quarter 2026 financial results, which showed strong revenue growth but weaker reported profits and cash flows.

Thomson Reuters also recently completed the sale of a 51% stake in its Global Print business for about US$500 million and updated its full-year outlook to reflect the divestiture. Despite solid growth in its core businesses, declining reported profits, weaker cash generation, and pressure on profit margins likely weighed on investor sentiment toward TRI stock.

On the brighter side, 5N Plus (TSX: VNP) surged by nearly 25% to $32.62 per share, making it the session’s top-performing TSX stock. This rally in VNP stock followed the Montreal-based specialty semiconductor and performance materials company’s release of its third-quarter 2026 financial results and an upbeat full-year outlook.

5N’s revenue jumped 30% year-over-year in the latest quarter, driven by higher sales volumes across both its specialty semiconductors and performance materials businesses. Meanwhile, the company also reported a strong order backlog of US$447.3 million and reduced its net debt to US$32.4 million from US$50.3 million at the end of 2025. Strong customer demand, continued capacity expansion, and confidence in its full-year earnings outlook appeared to boost investor sentiment, driving VNP stock sharply higher.

Curaleaf, Toromont Industries, and Hammond Power Solutions were also among the day’s top gainers, with each jumping by at least 7.5% in intraday trading.

Based on their daily trade volume, Enbridge, Manulife Financial, Whitecap Resources, Cenovus Energy, and TD Bank were the five most active stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

TSX today

Crude oil prices fell, while metals prices surged in early Wednesday trading as early U.S. midterm election results suggested that Democrats were winning control of both chambers of Congress, raising questions about the future direction of American economic and trade policies.

The election outcome could have important implications for Canada-U.S. trade talks, especially as Prime Minister Mark Carney recently indicated that Washington was showing greater flexibility on some of Canada’s key demands.

Meanwhile, easing crude oil prices could help reduce inflation concerns, and the rebound in gold, silver, and copper prices could support TSX mining shares following Tuesday’s market selloff.

As the third-quarter earnings season heats up further, several TSX-listed companies, including ATS, Allied Gold, B2Gold, Brookfield Renewable Partners, Cenovus Energy, Colliers International, Great-West Lifeco, Kinaxis, Lundin Gold, Lundin Mining, Manulife Financial, Maple Leaf Foods, Nutrien, Sprott, Stella-Jones, and Sun Life Financial, will announce their latest quarterly earnings reports today.

Overall, these developments could keep Canadian equities volatile on Wednesday as investors weigh the impact of shifting U.S. political dynamics, fluctuating commodity prices, and a busy corporate earnings calendar.

Canadian stocks started November on a bullish note as an intraday decline in oil prices eased inflation concerns, while a recovery in metals prices, hopes of reviving Canada-U.S. trade talks, and some positive corporate updates helped the market regain some of its lost ground following Friday’s steep selloff. The S&P/TSX Composite Index climbed by 181 points, or 0.5%, on Monday to settle at 35,801, but still remained below the widely followed 50-day moving average.

Even as sharp declines in energy prices pressured the energy sector, strong gains in mining, real estate, consumer cyclical, and industrial stocks guided the TSX benchmark higher.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Curaleaf Holdings (TSX: CURA) jumped 9% to $12.83 per share, making it the session’s top-performing TSX stock. This rally in CURA stock came after the cannabis firm revealed that it has acquired an equity stake and certain operating rights in Boone Town Provisions, a high-performing cannabis dispensary in Boonton, New Jersey.

The deal expands Curaleaf’s retail presence to four dispensaries in New Jersey and 191 locations across the United States. Curaleaf expects the acquisition to immediately contribute positively to its New Jersey business while strengthening its market position and expanding customer access to its cannabis brands. On a year-to-date basis, CURA stock is now up 25%.

Shares of Colliers International Group (TSX: CIGI) also surged 8% after its majority-owned subsidiary Englobe announced an agreement to acquire Obsidian Engineering, a Calgary-based engineering firm specializing in engineering, procurement, and construction management services.

The acquisition will add more than 400 professionals to Englobe’s workforce and strengthen its engineering and project delivery capabilities in Western Canada. Investors appeared encouraged by the acquisition’s potential to strengthen Colliers’ engineering services business and support its long-term growth, driving CIGI stock higher.

Aecon Group and Brookfield Asset Management were also among the day’s top gainers on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with each climbing by at least 6.7%.

On the flip side, oil and gas stocks like Baytex Energy, Strathcona Resources, Vermilion Energy, and Spartan Delta fell by more than 8% each due to weaker crude prices, making them the worst-performing TSX stocks for the day.

Based on their daily trade volume, Enbridge, Whitecap Resources, Cenovus Energy, Manulife Financial, and Athabasca Oil were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

Oil prices showed strength in early Tuesday trading following reports of limited U.S. military strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supplies. At the same time, gold, silver, and copper prices fell sharply.

While higher crude oil prices could renew inflation concerns and increase uncertainty surrounding the Bank of Canada’s future interest rate decisions, sharp declines in metals prices could put additional pressure on TSX mining stocks at the open today.

In addition to the latest U.S. JOLTS job openings report, Canadian investors will keep an eye on remarks about the economy by Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem, who will appear before a parliamentary finance committee at 11 a.m. ET today. His remarks could provide fresh insights into Canada’s inflation outlook and the central bank’s future monetary policy decisions.

On the corporate events side, many large TSX-listed companies, including Suncor Energy, Intact Financial, Ivanhoe Mines, SSR Mining, Triple Flag Precious Metals, Denison Mines, Dream Industrial REIT, Boardwalk REIT, Element Fleet Management, Curaleaf Holdings, Fairfax Financial, TransAlta, Shopify, Thomson Reuters, and Fortis, will release their latest quarterly earnings reports today, which could keep their shares in focus throughout the session.

Meanwhile, as the U.S. midterm elections take place today, TSX investors will closely monitor the political developments for their potential impact on U.S. economic policies and Canada-U.S. trade relations.

Canadian stocks fell sharply on Friday as renewed concerns about inflationary pressures, sharp declines in metals prices, and largely mixed corporate earnings weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged by 629 points, or 1.7%, to settle at 35,620 – marking its lowest close in over two weeks.

On the one hand, consumer staples and utility stocks saw renewed buying as market participants shifted toward defensive investments. On the other hand, steep intraday declines in other key sectors like mining, healthcare, and technology dragged the TSX benchmark down.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

The TFI International (TSX: TFII) dived by more than 17% to $130.05 per share, making it the worst-performing TSX stock for the day. This selloff in TFII stock came after the Montreal-based transportation and logistics firm posted mixed third-quarter financial results and issued its outlook for the final quarter of 2026.

TFI’s quarterly revenue rose 13% year-over-year (YoY), while its adjusted earnings per share jumped 39%, backed by improving market conditions and contributions from acquisitions. Despite these improvements, TFI’s less-than-truckload segment continued to struggle, with its operating income plunging 43% from a year ago. Similarly, higher capital spending and weaker operating cash flows drove the company’s quarterly free cash flow down by 42%. On a year-to-date basis, TFII stock is now down 8.3%.

Bird Construction, Aris Mining, and AbraSilver Resource also slid by over 9% each, placing them among the session’s bottom performers on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On the brighter side, Methanex (TSX: MX) jumped nearly 14% after the methanol producer delivered strong third-quarter financial results and issued an upbeat outlook. The company’s revenue surged nearly 50% YoY, and adjusted earnings jumped to US$3.69 per share from just US$0.06 a year ago.

With significantly higher methanol prices and strong North American production, Methanex’s operating cash flow more than tripled to US$646 million from US$184 million a year earlier. These strong financial results and improving pricing outlook boosted investor confidence in MX stock.

Imperial Oil, TMX Group, and Advantage Energy also rallied by at least 5.1% each, making them among the day’s top-performing TSX stocks.

Based on their daily trade volume, Whitecap Resources, Ivanhoe Mines, Telus, Capstone Copper, and B2Gold were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

After tanking by 3.6% on Friday, gold prices staged a small recovery in early Monday trading. However, the rebound remained limited, leaving TSX mining stocks vulnerable to further selling pressure after last week’s sharp losses.

While no major domestic economic releases are due, Canadian investors may want to keep an eye on the latest US manufacturing data this morning.

Meanwhile, developments in Canada-U.S. trade negotiations could influence market sentiment after Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested on Sunday that he had a constructive conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump about a potential trade agreement.

On the geopolitical front, investors will also monitor ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations, as Qatar continues its efforts to broker an agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

As the third-quarter corporate earnings season continues in full swing, several TSX-listed companies, including First Capital REIT, Ero Copper, Topaz Energy, I-80 Gold, Gibson Energy, 5N Plus, Toromont Industries, RioCan REIT, and Capital Power, will announce their latest quarterly results today, keeping their stocks in focus throughout today’s session.

• 2 Top Canadian Stocks to Buy With $1,000

Fool contributor Jitendra Parashar has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool recommends B2Gold, Capital Power, First Capital Real Estate Investment Trust, Gibson Energy, TELUS, TFI International, TMX Group, and Topaz Energy. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Canadian equities experienced heightened volatility on Thursday as investors continued to assess the latest interest rate decisions by central banks on both sides of the border, ongoing uncertainty surrounding Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, and fresh corporate earnings. Amid these developments and weaker metals prices, the S&P/TSX Composite Index ended a volatile session 16 points lower at 36,249, bringing its three-day rally to an end.

Even as strong gains in many key sectors like healthcare, utilities, and financials helped support the broader market, weakness in tech and mining stocks amid falling metals prices prevented the TSX benchmark from extending its winning streak.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Allied Properties REIT (TSX: AP.UN) tanked by 19% to $4.32 per unit, making it the worst-performing TSX stock for the day. The selloff came after the Toronto-based real estate investment trust (REIT) announced a massive 90% cut to its monthly distribution, reducing it from $0.06 to $0.006 per unit starting in November to save roughly $126 million annually for debt repayment.

Allied’s third-quarter rental revenue fell 6.6% year-over-year (YoY), while operating income declined 15.3%. More concerningly, the REIT’s funds from operations (FFO) plunged 42.8% to $36.5 million, as it also lowered its full-year FFO outlook and raised its interest expense forecast. The steep distribution cut, weakening cash flows, and reduced earnings outlook triggered the sharp selloff in Allied stock.

Alamos Gold (TSX: AGI) also dived more than 9% following the release of its third-quarter 2026 financial results, which highlighted lower gold production, rising costs, and delays at key expansion projects. The Toronto-based gold miner’s quarterly gold production fell 16% YoY, despite record output from its Island Gold District. More importantly, Alamos Gold’s all-in sustaining costs in the latest quarter jumped 42%, while free cash flow declined 42%, hurting investor sentiment.

Mining stocks like Southern Cross Gold and Kinross Gold also slipped by at least 6.3% each, making them among the session’s bottom performers on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On the brighter side, shares of Bausch Health Companies (TSX: BHC) skyrocketed by 28% to $12.41 apiece after the Canadian pharmaceutical giant posted strong third-quarter financial results and raised its full-year guidance.

Bausch Health’s quarterly revenue rose 10% YoY last quarter, backed by strong growth in its Salix pharmaceutical business and Bausch + Lomb segment. The company’s net profit surged to US$436 million from US$179 million a year ago. These strong earnings, improving cash flows, and an upgraded financial outlook fueled the sharp rally in BHC stock.

RB Global, FirstService, and GFL Environmental were also among the day’s top-performing TSX stocks, with each climbing by at least 3.3%.

Based on their daily trade volume, Whitecap Resources, Allied Properties REIT, B2Gold, BCE, and Telus were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures prices jumped to their highest level in over a month in early Friday trading as renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East raised concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supplies. At the same time, gold, silver, and copper prices extended their losses in early trading.

Higher crude oil prices could reignite inflation concerns and keep investors cautious about the possibility of further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada. Meanwhile, continued weakness in metals prices could weigh on TSX mining shares at the open today, potentially offsetting gains in the energy sector.

On the economic front, Canadian investors will closely monitor the monthly gross domestic product (GDP) report this morning.

On the corporate events side, TSX-listed Imperial Oil, Magna International, Cameco, and Canadian National Railway are expected to announce their latest quarterly results on Friday.

Overall, mixed commodity signals could keep the TSX volatile on Friday as investors also assess economic data, geopolitical developments, and fresh earnings reports.

Fool contributor Jitendra Parashar has positions in BCE and Magna International. The Motley Fool recommends B2Gold, Cameco, Canadian National Railway, FirstService, Magna International, and TELUS. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Canadian stocks continued to rise for the third consecutive session as investors weighed the Bank of Canada’s 25-basis-point interest rate hike to 2.50% and its improved economic growth outlook against the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to hold rates steady and lingering Canada-U.S. trade tensions. The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose by 94 points, or 0.3%, to 36,265 – reaching close to its highest level in a month.

Even as many key market sectors like industrials and real estate fell sharply, renewed buying in technology, healthcare, and financial stocks lifted the TSX benchmark in a volatile session.

BoC and Fed rate decisions

BoC and Fed interest rate decisions remained in focus on Wednesday as investors assessed the implications of their latest monetary policy announcements for the Canadian economy and stock market.

The Canadian central bank raised its benchmark overnight rate by 25 basis points, citing persistent inflationary pressures from elevated energy prices. However, BoC also upgraded its economic growth outlook, projecting Canadian GDP to expand by 2% in both 2027 and 2028.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.75% to 4%, highlighting resilient economic activity despite inflation remaining elevated.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Bausch Health, Celestica, Hammond Power Solutions, and Aecon Group climbed by at least 6% each, making them the session’s top-performing TSX stocks.

In contrast, Allied Properties REIT, GFL Environmental, G Mining Ventures, and TFI International slipped by at least 2.6% each, making them the day’s worst-performing TSX stocks.

Shares of Tamarack Valley Energy (TSX: TVE) traded on a mixed note even after the Calgary-based oil and gas producer reported strong third-quarter 2026 financial results, backed by higher oil prices and growing production from its Clearwater assets. The company posted a net profit of $98.8 million in the latest quarter, compared with a loss of $248.8 million a year ago.

Although Tamarack’s free funds flow last quarter slipped 3% YoY, it still highlighted its planned $10 billion merger with Headwater Exploration, and reiterated plans to increase its quarterly dividend by 20% after the deal closes. While stronger earnings provided support, its weaker free funds flow and uncertainties surrounding the pending merger may have contributed to the mixed trading in TVE stock.

Based on their daily trade volume, Enbridge, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Manulife Financial, and B2Gold were the five most active stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

TSX today

Crude oil prices remain mixed in early Thursday trading, while metals prices across the board fell sharply, which could pressure the commodity-heavy main TSX index at the open today.

With no major domestic economic releases due, Canadian investors may want to keep an eye on the quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) and monthly personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation report from the U.S. this morning.

In addition, rising Treasury bond yields and continued Canada-U.S. trade tensions could pressure TSX stocks today after Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada was not yet ready to finalize a trade agreement with the U.S. ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Overall, these factors could trigger renewed selling pressure on the TSX on Thursday, potentially interrupting its three-session winning streak.

On the corporate events side, several large TSX-listed companies like Methanex, Headwater Exploration, Centerra Gold, Hammond Power Solutions, TMX Group, Air Canada, Capstone Copper, TFI International, Advantage Energy, Aecon Group, AltaGas, Enerflex, Teck Resources, and Restaurant Brands International will release their latest quarterly earnings reports today. These reports could drive stock-specific movements throughout Thursday’s session as investors assess the companies’ latest financial performance and future growth outlooks.

Canadian stocks extended their gains for a second straight session on Tuesday, supported by strong metals prices and upbeat corporate earnings as investors looked ahead to Wednesday’s interest rate announcements from the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve. The S&P/TSX Composite Index advanced by another 227 points, or 0.6%, to settle at 36,171, recovering nearly all of the losses recorded during the previous week’s market downturn.

Despite weakness in many key sectors like consumer staples, technology, and energy, solid intraday gains in mining, utility, and financial stocks guided the TSX benchmark higher for another day.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Celestica (TSX: CLS) rallied 12% to $388.33 per share, making it the top-performing TSX stock for the day. This rally in CLS stock came after the Toronto-based data centre infrastructure giant reported strong third-quarter financial results and raised its full-year outlook, backed by surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

Celestica’s quarterly revenue jumped 83% year-over-year, while adjusted earnings more than doubled to US$3.30 per share, exceeding management’s earlier guidance. Following these strong results, the company raised its 2026 revenue and earnings forecasts further. More importantly, Celestica now expects its revenue to surge another 90% in 2027. These impressive results and an exceptionally strong growth outlook, driven by rising AI infrastructure spending, fueled heavy buying in CLS stock.

Perpetua Resources (TSX: PPTA) also surged by nearly 11% after the Boise-based mining firm secured up to US$40 million in funding from the U.S. Army to explore domestic tungsten production at its Stibnite Gold Project in Idaho.

The 36-month agreement will support Perpetua’s exploration drilling, metallurgical testing, and engineering work to evaluate the feasibility of producing tungsten concentrate, a critical mineral used in defence and manufacturing.

Energy Fuels and Denison Mines were also among the day’s top gainers on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with each rising by 8.7%.

In contrast, Thomson Reuters, Cenovus Energy, Imperial Oil, and Suncor Energy slid by at least 4% each, making them the session’s worst-performing TSX stocks.

According to the exchange’s daily trade volume data, Enbridge, Royal Bank of Canada, Cenovus Energy, Telus, and Equinox Gold were the five most active stocks.

TSX today

Crude oil futures rose, while gold prices slipped in early Wednesday trading, which could weigh on the commodity-heavy main TSX index at the open today as rising oil reignites inflation concerns.

More importantly, the Bank of Canada’s and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions scheduled for later today could significantly influence market sentiment and the TSX’s near-term direction. Both central banks are expected to hold their benchmark interest rates steady, but investors will closely examine their policy statements for clues about future monetary policy changes.

As the corporate third-quarter earnings season also gains steam, several TSX-listed companies, including Whitecap Resources, First Quantum Minerals, GFL Environmental, Primaris REIT, Cogeco Communications, Allied Properties REIT, Bausch Health, Kinross Gold, Alamos Gold, Eldorado Gold, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, Agnico Eagle Mines, West Fraser Timber, and Tamarack Valley Energy, are set to release their latest quarterly financial results today.

Overall, these developments could keep the TSX benchmark volatile on Wednesday as investors assess central bank policy announcements, corporate earnings, and mixed commodity price trends.

Canadian equities started the new week on a positive note as a recovery in gold and copper prices, coupled with renewed hopes of progress in Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, helped lift investor sentiment. The S&P/TSX Composite Index climbed by 156 points, or 0.4%, on Monday to settle at 35,944, snapping its two-session losing streak and recovering some of its losses from the previous week.

Despite continued weakness in consumer cyclical and technology shares, sharp gains in key sectors like mining, financials, and industrials drove the TSX benchmark higher.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Hammond Power Solutions, Seabridge Gold, CAE (TSX: CAE), and Ero Copper were the top-performing TSX stocks for the day, with each jumping by at least 4%.

The rally in CAE stock was mainly driven by the Montreal-based aviation training and simulation company’s announcement of an agreement to sell its Flightscape airline operations software business to SITA, a global aviation technology company, for an enterprise value of US$500 million.

The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027 after getting all necessary approvals and should help CAE focus more closely on its core Civil Aviation and Defense businesses. The company plans to use the proceeds to invest in its simulation and training operations and return capital to shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility. This planned divestiture and its potential to support profitable growth boosted investor confidence in CAE stock.

In contrast, DPM Metals, Celestica, AbraSilver Resource, and Snowline Gold slipped by at least 2.9% each, making them the session’s worst-performing TSX stocks.

Based on their daily trading volume, Enbridge, Telus, TD Bank, Athabasca Oil, and TC Energy were the five most active stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

TSX today

After easing slightly from their highest level in over a month, crude oil prices rose again in early Tuesday trading as investors assessed the possibility of renewed military action against Iran and its potential impact on global energy supplies. At the same time, metals prices remained largely mixed. Given these mixed commodity price trends, the TSX benchmark could open on a slightly positive note on Tuesday, backed by expected strength in energy shares.

Improving prospects for a Canada-U.S. trade agreement could provide another boost to market sentiment, with recent reports suggesting that both countries are exploring ways to reduce tariffs on Canadian steel and automobiles.

TSX investors will also keep an eye on today’s U.S. consumer confidence figures ahead of Wednesday’s interest rate decisions from the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve.

If trade optimism persists and energy stocks maintain their upward momentum, TSX stocks could extend Monday’s recovery today.

Despite a surge in oil prices, Canadian stocks continued to fall for a second consecutive session on Friday as escalating US-Iran tensions and uncertainty surrounding Canada-U.S. trade relations weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P/TSX Composite Index plunged by another 185 points, or 0.5%, to 35,788, marking its lowest close in a week.

Even as a more than 4% intraday jump in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices drove energy stocks higher, weakness in all other main market sectors, including real estate, consumer staples, and mining, pressured the TSX benchmark.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Mullen Group, Southern Cross Gold, Perpetua Resources, and Air Canada were the worst-performing TSX stocks for the day, with each diving by at least 4.7%.

Shares of Rogers Communications (TSX: RCI.B) also slid 2.3% to $45.36 per share after the Toronto-based telecom giant reported mixed third-quarter financial results. Its quarterly revenue rose 2% year-over-year, backed by growth in its media business and improved operating efficiency.

However, Rogers’ adjusted net profit fell 3% to $701 million due mainly to higher finance costs. Its wireless service revenue also slipped 1% amid intense competition and lower average revenue per user. Last quarter, the company’s postpaid mobile phone net additions also dropped to just 6,000 from 62,000 a year ago. Despite these challenges, Rogers generated $1.4 billion in free cash flow, up 65%, helped by lower capital expenditures, higher adjusted EBITDA, and lower cash income taxes. Overall, weaker adjusted earnings and slowing wireless subscriber growth weighed on investor confidence.

On the brighter side, Methanex, BlackBerry, Vermilion Energy, and Parex Resources climbed by at least 3.3% each, making them the session’s top-performing TSX stocks.

Based on their daily trade volume, Athabasca Oil, Telus, Whitecap Resources, Baytex Energy, and Ivanhoe Mines were the five most active stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

TSX today

Commodity prices were largely mixed in early Monday trading, which could keep the resource-heavy main TSX index nearly flat at the open today.

While no major domestic economic releases are due, Canadian investors will closely monitor fresh developments in Canada-U.S. trade negotiations and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that a trade agreement with Canada could be reached soon, while reports indicated that negotiations between the two countries had gained momentum ahead of the November 3 U.S. midterm elections. However, concerns about potential new U.S. military strikes against Iran could keep investors cautious, especially given the risk of further disruptions to global oil supplies.

On the corporate front, TSX-listed Celestica and PrairieSky Royalty are slated to release their third-quarter earnings after Monday’s market close.

These upcoming results, along with developments in trade negotiations and the Middle East, could influence trading sentiment on the TSX throughout the day.
