The largely tracked equity benchmark index of the Canadian Stock Exchange, S&P/TSX Composite Index, pared all the losses of the previous trading session and moved 0.37% or 67.22 points to 18,460.21 on Friday. The gain was largely driven by high-weighted Energy and Metals and Mining sector, which surged 2.2% and 1.31%, respectively. However, the gains were partially offset by weakness in the Utilities, Telecommunication and Healthcare sectors.
At the last traded level, the S&P/TSX Composite settled at a Price-to-Earnings ratio of 20.10x, and featured a dividend yield of 3.3%, respectively.
The leading momentum indicators, the 14-day and 9-day RSI, are hovering in neutral zone and tilted towards the overbought zone, implying a potential continuation of positive bias in the broader market.
