Solid finish for US equities
The US equity market is closed on Friday so this is the last chance to trade for the week. Monday is a holiday in Canada and the UK but not the USA.
The S&P 500 was lower early on but has recovered and is now up 7 points to 2907. It rose to a 2019 high of 2918 yesterday before slipping back lower.
Meanwhile, Canada's TSX has ridden a rebound in commodities and risk appetite to a fresh all-time high today.
