S&P/TSX composite index edges higher, U.S. stock markets mixed
- Canada's S&P/TSX composite index rose 75.59 points on May 14, 2025, while U.S. stock markets showed mixed results in Toronto and New York.
- Modest market advances followed a surge on Monday triggered by news of a temporary easing in U.S.-China trade tensions, which helped shift investor confidence.
- Sectors like technology, industrials, and financials advanced in Canada, whereas energy, telecoms, and utilities declined, reflecting cautious investor behavior.
- Andrew Buntain observed that following Monday’s rally driven by easing U.S.-China trade tensions, the market has remained relatively stable, though investors continue to face uncertainty regarding the next steps in trade negotiations.
- Buntain cautioned that the market remains sensitive and unpredictable, as a single social media remark or a trade policy update can quickly trigger volatility, while Canadians hope for a dependable government to carry out its economic commitments.
