Stocks in Toronto were solidly higher in the first trading day in the shortened week following Christmas Day and Boxing Day in Canada.
Nearly all sectors were driving the increase in the session, led primarily by health tech, process industries and materials. Consumer durables was the only laggard of the session.
Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Index was up 0.75%, to 21038.23, and the blue-chip S&P/TSX 60 rose by 0.77, to 1268.65.
AutoCanada shares were 8.5%, to 23.11 Canadian dollars (US$17.51), after the company said it has received C$25 million from iA Financial Group for a 10% stake in its online unit that will sell finance, insurance and warranty products to buyers of private owner-sold vehicles on Kijiji’s online marketplaces.
