The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.3% to a record high of 25,972 on Friday, capping a 2.4% weekly gain as strength in financial and tech heavyweights offset weakness among commodity producers. Royal Bank of Canada and Shopify led the advance with respective gains of 1.2% and 1.5%, supported by improved risk appetite amid easing US-China trade tensions. Still, losses in major energy and mining shares tempered the rally on the resource-heavy index.

Wall Street ended the week on a positive note, with all three major indexes logging for solid weekly gains, supported by easing US-China trade tensions. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, heading for a fifth straight daily gain, while the Nasdaq added 0.4% and the Dow advanced 331 points, erasing year to date losses. A 90-day tariff truce between the US and China helped lift sentiment earlier in the week, pushing the S&P 500 back into positive territory for the year. However, soft consumer sentiment data on Friday weighed slightly on the rally, with the University of Michigan’s index dropping to 50.8—its second-lowest reading on record—while one-year inflation expectations surged to 7.3%. Meanwhile, Big Tech stocks were mixed, with Alphabet gaining over 1% and Meta slipping, though the sector was still among the week’s top performers. For the week, the S&P 500 rose 5%, the Dow gained 3%, and the Nasdaq climbed over 6%.
