Canadian Market Up Marginally In Cautious Trade

(RTTNews) - Canadian stocks are turning in a mixed performance amid thin volumes on Monday. The benchmark index is up marginally thanks to gains in select healthcare, energy and financials shares.

News that U.S. President Joe Biden and Congressional Republican McCarthy agreed on a debt ceiling deal on Saturday to avert a fast-approaching default in early June is aiding sentiment.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index is up 36.29 points or 0.18% at 19,956.60 a little past noon.

Canadian Western Bank (CWB.TO) is gaining about 5%. Sprott Inc (SII.TO), ATS Corporation (ATS.TO), Cogeco Communications (CCA.TO), Cogeco Inc (CGO.TO), Stantec Inc (STN.TO), Onex Corporation (ONEX.TO), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) and Colliers International (CIGI.TO) are up 1 to 2.3%.
