The S&P TSX Composite Index rose about 0.2% to trade above 32,650 for the first time on Monday, as gains in gold miners offset mixed performance among energy producers. Precious metal stocks led the advance, with Agnico Eagle, Barrick, and Wheaton Precious Metals rising between 2.3% and 2.9% as investors rotated into bullion amid broad US dollar weakness. The move followed reports that the US Justice Department subpoenaed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, reviving concerns about political pressure on the Fed and reinforcing demand for hard assets. Energy stocks were uneven, as higher crude prices supported by geopolitical risks linked to Iran were tempered by uncertainty over North American supply, including the potential return of Venezuelan barrels. Meanwhile, Canadian banks traded cautiously ahead of major US bank earnings this week, watched closely for signals on credit conditions and the broader outlook for North American financial activity.
