The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.2% to close at 31,961 on Friday as the resource-heavy market struggled to balance surging commodity prices against a deepening global equity sell-off. Energy and mining stocks provided a critical cushion compared to the sharper corrections seen on Wall Street. Gold and materials sectors led the gainers as Agnico Eagle Mines rose 3.2% and Wheaton Precious Metals jumped 4.7% while energy producers like Suncor and Canadian Natural Resources climbed over 2.5% following fresh disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Conversely the information technology sector faced significant headwinds with Shopify falling 2.8% and major lenders including Royal Bank and TD Bank dropping over 1% as rising bond yields and stagflation fears weighed on credit sensitive equities. Although President Trump pushed the strike deadline on Iranian infrastructure to April 6, reports of a potential deployment of 10,000 additional US troops kept risk premiums high.
