Watch List
Stocks extended Thursday’s rally by gaining more ground on Friday. For now, at least, investors are calming down from the inflation hike and are accepting that the U.S. Fed will taper in November. The Dow added 1.19% to enjoy its best week since June and to close less than 1% from all-time highs. The S&P gained 0.75% on Friday and nearly 2% for the week. Trailing behind was the Nasdaq, up 0.5%, to be around 3% from its all-time highs. However, it was the TSX that set a new high of 20,928 by climbing 0.52%, fueled by oil’s ongoing rally. Energy, real estate, financials and tech in this order have been the strongest sectors in Toronto year-to-date.
