The S&P/TSX Composite rose around 0.1% to above the 27,390 mark on Friday, echoing tepid gains on global markets as traders held their breath ahead of President Trump’s looming August?1st tariff deadline. Shopify and Celestica led the advance, each climbing over 1%, while easing trade-war concerns drove gold prices lower, undermining miner valuations, and sent base-metal names such as Ivanhoe, Teck Resources and First Quantum Minerals down more than 1%. Looking ahead, attention shifts to next week’s policy decisions from the Bank of Canada and the US Federal Reserve. For the week, the TSX was poised to record a modest gain of about 0.3%.
