The TSX opened sharply higher, tracking gains in materials and industrials after a rise in U.S. aluminium prices boosted demand for Canadian exports.

South of the border, the Dow Jones rose modestly while the Nasdaq slipped, as investors weighed strong earnings from major banks against profit-taking in big tech. Optimism was also fuelled by expectations of further AI-linked corporate spending, following recent announcements from Oracle and AMD.
