It was another split day for Canada’s main stock index, but a positive one as energy and tech growth outweighed losses sustained by mining and financial shares. The industrials sector was the biggest gainer on the TSX while utilities was the biggest loser.

The S&P 500 scored an all-time intraday high again, as tech shares were boosted by optimism around AI stocks, such as Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), who nearly touched its all time high and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) reached a new peak. Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) also rose on positive quarterly results.
