Canada Stock Market Index (TSX) at 31930.73points

2026-03-30 20:02 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.1% to close at 31,935 on Monday as the rally in commodity markets failed to offset broader market volatility and persistent stagflationary fears.

While crude oil prices climbed toward 2022 highs following Houthi threats to Red Sea exports and President Trump's ultimatum regarding Iranian energy infrastructure, the heavy weight of the financial sector dragged the benchmark lower.

Royal Bank of Canada dipped 0.2% and CIBC lost 0.8% as investors weighed the benefit of resilient interest margins against the risk of an economic slowdown from energy shortages.

Although the mining sector remained a point of relative strength with Nutrien gaining 1.5% and OceanaGold jumping 1.6% the overall sentiment was dampened by a 7.8% slump in Celestica and broad weakness among major energy producers like Suncor.

TSX Kicks Off Week in the Green
The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose nearly 1% to above the 32,200 mark on Monday as the easing of sovereign bond yields combined with persistent commodity strength. A sharp retreat in Canadian yields provided immediate relief to the financial sector with Royal Bank of Canada gaining 0.5% and TD Bank rising 0.8% as the prospect of stabilizing credit demand improved. Energy producers remained a core pillar of support as Canadian Natural Resources climbed 1.9% and Suncor Energy added 1.2% amid ongoing supply concerns in the Middle East. Furthermore the mining sector drew substantial bids with Barrick Gold jumping 2.9% and Wheaton Precious Metals surging 3.1% as bargain hunting in gold miners and energy majors countered recent stagflationary pressures that had previously dampened investor confidence.
