Canada’s main stock index finished on the higher side on Monday, as sinking oil prices had weighed on energy stocks in early trading. Tech and health care also overcame early struggles to close higher with mining, industrial, and financial shares. The telecom sector was the only one to head lower by the end of the day. Later this week, traders will assess domestic inflation data and interest rate decisions from major central banks.
