Once more, the TSX outshone its U.S. peers, adding 50 points to close at a new high of 30,022. Six sectors were in the green, led by industrials and materials which managed to balanced outsized losses in healthcare and weakness in energy. Major movers: Stella-Jones 4.1%, Cenovus -1.75%, Novagold Resources 4.06% and New Gold 3.42%. Curaleaf gave back some of its massive gains from the previous session, down 13.93%.
