One year after the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic, North American stocks rallied across the board. On Thursday, the S&P and Dow both made all-time highs, up 1.04% and 0.58% respectively, but the tech-heavy Nasdaq opened strong and stayed high to the close (unlike Wednesday), topping 2.52%. It was a rare session where growth as well as value names shone. Drivers were President Biden signing his US$1.9 trillion stimulus bill, the encouraging vaccination drive, and the European<\/a> Central Bank pledging to buy more bonds.<\/p>\n

Also, U.S. weekly unemployment claims came in lower than expected in a four-month low as the ongoing reopening added more jobs. The sum result was the U.S. 10-year rising 0.46% to 1.527%, which didn’t rattle investors.\u00a0 These were the ingredients for the optimism which allowed megacap tech stocks to roar back: Alphabet<\/a> 3.16%, Tesla<\/a> 4.72%, Nvidia<\/a> 4.21% and Facebook<\/a> 3.39%. Outside tech, FedEx<\/a> added 3.1% and Nike<\/a> 2.62%.<\/p>\n

In Canada, the TSX rode the wave by climbing another 0.83% to make an all-time high, just 156 points shy of 19,000. Tech, materials and energy led the charge, though cannabis stocks soared. OrganiGram<\/a> rocketed 40% after British American Tobacco<\/a> bought a 19.9% stake. Aphria<\/a> and Hexo<\/a> nearly popped 11%. Other gainers: Linamar<\/a> 10.8%, Hudbay Minerals<\/a> 9.82% and tech newcomer Nuvei<\/a> leaping 11.21%. Gold was flat, but Bitcoin<\/a> inched up another 2.3% to make yet another new high above $57,000. Lastly, the price of WCS and WTI both gushed 2.4% to cap a banner day.<\/p>\n
