The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.3% to surpass the 25,340 mark on Wednesday, bolstered by strong performances in major mining stocks, while investors digested key economic data. Agnico Eagle, Wheaton Precious, Barrick Gold, and Franco-Nevada saw gains ranging from 2.1% to 3.1%, driven by record-high gold prices as concerns over a potential US-China trade war spurred a flight to safety. In contrast, the financial and energy sectors remained in negative territory. On the economic front, Canada posted its first surplus in international trade after nine consecutive deficits in December, marking its third surplus of the year. Additionally, the composite PMI rose to 49.5 in January from 49.0 in December, signaling a second consecutive month of contraction in private-sector output, with the downturn concentrated in the services sector. However, manufacturing output saw growth for the fourth month in a row.
