Jobs data on both sides of the border raised the major indices to record closes Friday. Non-farm payrolls noted that more jobs than expected were added to the American economy in July. This boosted the Dow and S&P by 0.33% and 0.16% to new highs of 35,180 and 4,436 respectively. Canadian unemployment numbers actually just fell short of predictions, but the TSX rallied 0.46% to a record 20,475. Needless to say, all the major indices moved up this week. On the Dow, financials and industrials rallied while consumer staples and healthcare betrayed weakness.<\/p>\n
Goldman Sachs<\/a> jumped 3.53% while Amgen<\/a> slid 1.62%. AMD<\/a> was the most-traded stock, closing -2.11%, followed by Bank of America<\/a> which gained 3%. Expedia<\/a> slid nearly 8% on a disappointing quarter. The strong jobs number raised the U.S. 10-year yield, which has been lying low in recent weeks, to 1.3%.<\/p>\n Gold slid 2.64% to $1,760 per ounce, WTI crude tumbled 1.38% and WCS lost around 1.8%. Naturally, materials showed weakness on the TSX, but energy stocks were still up along with financials and real estate. The day’s biggest Canadian gainer was Westport Fuel Systems<\/a> which soared nearly 28% after reporting a profit instead of an expected loss. Western Forest Products<\/a> rallied 4.76%, Manulife<\/a> popped another 2.57% following earnings, while Gildan Activewear<\/a> rose 3.78%. Losing ground were Kinross Gold<\/a>, closing at -2.14% and Barrick at -1.54%.<\/p>\n 🏛 Goldman Sachs<\/a> +3.53% This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Shane Obata, including Alphabet Inc. \/ Google.
