Canadian stocks rose Tuesday, supported by broader market strength despite weakness in energy shares, as investors grew cautiously optimistic that US–Iran talks could resume.

Equities continued to climb after traders largely dismissed the breakdown of weekend negotiations, focusing instead on signs that a potential deal remained on the table. US markets showed renewed resilience, with President Donald Trump claiming on Monday that the opposing side had reached out and was seeking an agreement.
