Unemployment figures disappointed Friday, but markets on both sides of the border finished their best week early November. A tide of good earnings and overall promising sentiment on the vaccine front continued to lift stocks. The TSX rose 0.47% to make a new closing high of 18,125. Materials and energy fuelled the Toronto rally as the price of WTI made new one-year highs just short of $57 and WCS jumped 4% to $46.50.<\/p>\n
Notable gainers included Polaris Infrastructure<\/a> up 8.19%, Peyto Exploration<\/a> at 7.19% and Eldorado Gold<\/a>, which popped 12% after announcing it will open a Greek<\/a> mine. Blackberry<\/a>, which has enjoyed a wild ride by the Reddit short sellers, leapt 8.33%. Not faring as well were Sleep Country Canada<\/a>, down 7.68%, and cannabis-maker Medipharm Labs<\/a>, slipping 6.1%. For now at least, investors overlooked the rise in unemployment<\/a> to 9.4%, as the street badly underestimated January’s unemployment numbers.<\/p>\n In the States, employment gains missed the street’s predictions, though unemployment<\/a> did fall to 6.3% and expectations for more stimulus from Washington calmed investors. Though volumes were lower than usual, the major indices rose between 0.3% and 0.57%. Again, tech stocks led the rally as the Nasdaq gained 6% for the week. Activision Blizzard<\/a> delivered a blow-out quarter<\/a> and forecast, and the stock soared 9.64%. Exxon Mobil<\/a> rose 3.35% on the momentum of the oil price, while Nike<\/a> rallied 3.19%. In contrast, T-Mobile<\/a> dropped 4% on a mixed Q4 report.<\/p>\n ♻ Polaris Infrastructure<\/a> +8.19 This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Ross Healy, including Barrick Gold (A Top Pick Feb 11\/19, Up 37%) Get Premium to receive all past top picks opinions a few hours before market open.
