RTTNews | 645 gün önce

(RTTNews) - After three successive days of losses, the Canadian market rebounded on Thursday, and despite giving up substantial portion of intraday gains, ended the day's session on a positive note.

A rebound in commodity prices triggered strong buying in energy and materials shares. Consumer staples, communications, financials and utilities shares found some support. Healthcare and technology stocks ended weak.

Warning from a senior Bank of Canada official that interest rates are likely to remain elevated, and Federal Reserve Chair's remarks that the Fed will not hesitate to tighten policy again if it becomes appropriate, weighed on sentiment and pushed the market down from higher levels.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index, which surged to 19,791.12, gaining more than 260 points in the process, ended the day with a gain of 57.20 points or 0.29% at 19,587.41.
