FX.co ★ TSX Futures Edge Higher on Metals and Bonds Rebound

Futures linked to Canada’s main stock index inched higher on Thursday, buoyed by a rebound in precious metals and a pullback in global bond yields. Rising gold and silver prices helped lift mining shares, while benchmark yields eased from multi-year highs as an intensifying selloff in technology and artificial intelligence stocks pushed investors toward safe-haven government bonds. On the economic front, Canadian manufacturing sales rose 1.5% month over month in August, surpassing expectations for a 1.1% increase, driven primarily by strength in the primary metals and chemicals industries.
