How the Canada market works
A short primer for researching this hub on StockWatch.
Market overview
Canada's TSX is rich in banks, energy, and materials. It often trades as a CAD-priced cousin of US risk appetite, with oil, gold, and North American rates as the main levers.
Exchanges & session
Toronto hours largely overlap New York. Energy and mining leadership can diverge from the S&P when commodity prices swing hard.
What traders watch
- Oil and gold prices
- Bank of Canada policy versus the Fed
- CAD crosses and US growth surprises
