TSX Climbs Following Bank of Canada's Rate Cut

 

Canada's main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite, continued its upward trajectory today, buoyed by the Bank of Canada's decision to reduce interest rates. The index rose by 95.91 points, or 0.38%, reaching 25,600.24 points.

Analysts remain optimistic about the TSX's performance, with some predicting continued growth into the next year.
