Canada’s main stock index surged on Monday in a broad increase across sectors led by the energy sector. The price of oil topped US$80 a barrel.
Major indexes on both sides of the border ended a volatile Q3 lower last week as fears grew over the U.S. Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary policy and the chances it could tip the economy into recession. U.S. stock indexes climbed although losses in Tesla capped the growth for NASDAQ futures after the electric-vehicle maker missed quarterly delivery targets.
