TSX Composite rallies after lull on back of energy stocks, up 0.16%

2 min read | September 13, 2021 01:30 AM EDT | By Team Kalkine Media

The TSX Composite Index rebounded on Monday, September 13, after a period of continuous decline from past trading sessions. The recovery in the prices of crude oil and natural gas lifted the energy stocks.

The TSX composite energy sector gained 4.22% mainly due to a jump of 14.4% in Crescent Point Energy shares after an increase in fourth-quarter dividends. However, the technology and industrial sector was down by 1.51% and 0.77% respectively.

Additionally, the market is keen regarding the announcement of the US budget package worth US$ 3.5 trillion which could raise the corporate tax rate from 21.0% to 26.5%. The broader TSX composite index recoiled in green territory gaining 33.35 points, up 0.162% and settled at 20,666.41.
