The trading week started positively as oil prices spiked and the FDA granted Pfizer full approval of its Covid vaccine which will likely drive more vaccines and combat worries over the current case surge by the Delta variant. The TSX climbed 0.68% to hover below all-time highs as energy and materials surged. The price of WTI crude jumped more than 5% past $65 per barrel as WCS leapt over 7% to top $52.<\/p>\n

The Canadian dollar added a full cent to $0.79 against the greenback.<\/p>\n The FDA’s approval fulled a bounce in many vaccine stock, which in turn lifted the Wall Street indices. BioNTech<\/a> soared 9.58% and Pfizer<\/a> 2.48%. The Dow rose 0.61%, the S&P 0.85%, but it was big moves in tech that pushed the Nasdaq 1.55% to a record high of 14,942. Amazon<\/a> added 2% and AMD<\/a> nearly 4%. Elsewhere Devon Energy<\/a> jumped 6% and reopening play Las Vegas Sands<\/a> 5.81%. On the Dow, energy, tech and industrials showed strength.
