The market is being driven higher by technicals, which are very bullish right now, according to Brandon Michael, senior investment analyst at ABC Funds. The Toronto market has posted a series of higher peaks and troughs since October, notching a gain of nearly 12% over that period. The technology sector added to its recent rally on Friday, rising 0.7%. Energy rose 0.6% as oil settled 0.9% higher at $72.68 a barrel following overnight air and sea strikes by the U.S. and Britain on Houthi targets in Yemen. The materials sector, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, was up 1.6% as the price of gold benefited from safe-haven buying and the prospect of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
