RTTNews | 24 hari yang lalu

(RTTNews) - Canadian shares may open higher Tuesday morning, riding on firm oil and metal prices. Investors, awaiting trade talks between Canadian and U.S. officials, also look ahead to Bank of Canada's interest rate decision, due on Wednesday.

Air Canada posted earnings per share of $0.37 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.98 in the corresponding quarter last year.

The Canadian market ended modestly lower on Monday, retreating from last week's record highs, as investors waited for some progress in U.S.-Canada trade talks.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index settled at 27,405.42, down by 88.93 points or 0.32%.

Asian stocks ended Tuesday's session on a mixed note as investors looked past the U.S.-EU trade deal and awaited the outcome of ongoing U.S.-China talks in Stockholm.
