The Dow Jones Index Closes 1.01% Higher

The S&P/TSX Composite climbed 0.6% to close at 30,353 on Friday as cooler than expected US inflation firmed odds of Fed rate cuts and kept risk appetite strong, helping offset renewed Canada trade jitters earlier in the week. All nine sectors traded higher with tech and growth names leading the advance. Shopify rallied 3.7%, Constellation Software added 1.5% and Celestica jumped 5%, while Brookfield paced the financials with a gain of 1.7%. The market’s upside was tempered earlier by President Trump’s abrupt termination of trade talks with Canada, but Ontario’s announcement that it will pause the controversial Reagan ad effective Monday has eased some near-term diplomatic friction and increased the odds talks will resume. For the week the TSX saw a 0.8% gain as investors balance easier US monetary policy expectations with still-elevated trade policy uncertainty.

TSX Tracks US Peers Higher

The three major US averages closed at fresh record highs after a softer-than-expected inflation report increased the odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year and pushed investors into risk assets. The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, the Nasdaq gained 1% and the Dow added 470 points. Tech led the rally as AMD and IBM jumped 7.5% and 8.77% respectively after IBM said it had successfully run a key quantum error-correction algorithm on AMD chips, lifting sentiment across the sector. Intel rose 1.6% after returning to profitability and issuing an upbeat revenue forecast, Nvidia rose 2.8%, Broadcom gained 3.1% and Alphabet climbed 3.1%. Financials rallied on the prospect that easier policy will revive lending, with JPMorgan up 3%, Bank of America up 1.9%, Goldman Sachs rising 4.4% and Citi up 2.7%. Ford shares jumped 13.3% after the automaker posted strong third-quarter results that beat expectations. For the week the S&P 500 rose about 1.8%, the Nasdaq and the Dow gained 2%.

US Stocks Hit Fresh Records

The Central Bank of Paraguay left its policy interest rate at 6% during its October meeting. The committee noted global developments, including a modest rise in US inflation to 3.0% and slower job growth, alongside expectations of further Federal Reserve rate reductions. Internationally, oil prices continued to decline amid projections of an oversupply for 2026 and lower geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, while agricultural commodities showed mixed trends, with corn and wheat falling and soybean prices rising. Domestically, the economy grew steadily, with the Monthly Economic Activity Indicator up 4.5% in August, supported by services, manufacturing, agriculture and electricity and water. Inflation remained low, with the annual inflation at 4.3%, while expectations held at 3.7% for the next 12 months. The CPM reaffirmed its commitment to price stability and will continue monitoring domestic and global developments to ensure inflation remains aligned with the 3.5% policy goal.
