TSX Ends Modestly Higher

(RTTNews) - The Canadian market ended modestly higher on Monday after a cautious session as investors looked for direction.

With the focus shifting to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement, due on Wednesday, the mood remained cautious right through the day's session. The data on U.S. inflation, due on Tuesday, is also eyed.

Worries about a surge in Covid cases in China hurt sentiment and limited market's upside.
