The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index ended up 71.82 points, or 0.3%, at 20,990.22, its highest weekly closing level since April 2022.

The Toronto market has posted a series of higher peaks and troughs since October, notching a gain of nearly 12% over that period.

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.
