The S&P/TSX Composite Index recovered from early losses to close 0.5% higher at 33,108 on Thursday, tracking the rebound for US equities as reports that Iran is considering allowing some shipments of oil from the Persian Gulf eased concerns of stagflation in the Canadian economy. Iranian media indicated that officials are coordinating a toll for tankers leaving the Persian Gulf. The development alleviated concerns that an energy shock would magnify inflationary pressures and force the BoC to maintain rates restrictive for longer, aiding the outlook for stocks in the Toronto exchange. Heavyweight energy producers led the gains as spot crude oil benchmarks rose to their highest in 18 years, with Cenvovus and Canadian Natural rising 3% and 2%, respectively. The Toronto Stock Exchange will be closed on Friday for Good Friday.
