TSX Ends Higher For 3rd Straight Day
(RTTNews) - After a flat start and a subsequent marginal uptick, the Canadian market slipped into negative territory Tuesday morning, despite staying weak till about the final hour, ended the session on the positive side thanks to some selective buying interest.
The mood in the market remained cautious and investors largely refrained from making significant moves while continuing to assess the likely path the Federal Reserve will take with regard to interest rate hikes.
