Canada’s top stock index reached a new all-time high on Wednesday, driven by strong quarterly earnings from major domestic banks, including the Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY). The mining and utilities segments were the only laggards on the TSX, which climbed to 28,468.34.
Meanwhile, US markets also rallied, with the S&P 500 gaining ground as investors focused on Nvidia’s earnings report — a potential turning point for the ongoing bull market. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), which makes up about 8 per cent of the S&P 500, holds the largest weighting in the index. The chipmaker reported Q2 2026 revenue of US$46.7 billion, up 6 per cent from Q1 and up 56 per cent from a year ago.
