U.S. bank earnings helped lift American markets as Bank of America rallied 2.24% and Morgan Stanley rose 1.34% after beating Q3 EPS and announcing that profits jumped 25% year-over-year. Walgreens was one of the day’s biggest gainers, up nearly 5% in heavy trading after beating revenues and earnings. Fears of Covid drove pharma stocks down, such as Regeneron at -2.6%, but raised stay-at-home names like Peloton, up 3.8%.

On the TSX, the only major sector in the red Thursay was materials as telco enjoyed the strongest rise by 1%. Though the price of WTI closed flat, WCS climbed over 1% and pumped life into oil names like ARC Resources by nearly 4% though MEG Energy slid over 5%. U.S. crude inventories reported declines. Aphria tumbled 17.51% after reporting a mixed Q1 and lower weed prices. Green utilities continue to surge as Northland Power made new highs after rising 2.18%.
