TSX Eyes Gains as Trump-Xi Summit Looms and Oil Steadies Near $95

Canadian Money Brief · Monday, May 11, 2026 Canadian equities are set for a cautious but constructive open this Monday as investors balance a packed macro calendar against an energy sector still reeling from one of its most volatile weeks in recent memory. TSX at a Glance The S&P/TSX Composite closed Friday at 34,077.76 , up 221 points (+0.65%) to cap a week dominated by whipsaw oil moves and a fragile Middle East ceasefire. The energy sector has led TSX gains over the past seven days — up roughly 5% — even as WTI crude fell about 7% on the week, settling near $95.42 per barrel . That apparent contradiction reflects Canadian producers' longer-term optimism on supply tightness rather than any single day's price swing. For the year, the TSX is up approximately 35%, outpacing most major global benchmarks. The Big Story: Trump Heads to Beijing All eyes this week will be on Washington and Beijing.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A more assertive approach in one-to-one relationships will serve you well over the coming year but don’t go too far. Friends, colleagues and loved ones will be impressed by your confident attitude but that doesn’t mean they will allow you to bully them.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The best way to deal with someone who takes themselves too seriously is to pop their egotistical bubble by making fun of them. Every time they say something pompous find a way to make a joke of it. They won’t leave you short of opportunities.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Wherever you go and whatever you do over the next 24 hours you will make your mark by staying calm no matter what the provocation might be. While others are running around like headless chickens you will be focusing on what needs to be done.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Jupiter in your sign means you could be on the verge of something big, but as the planet of good fortune is going through its retrograde phase you can take nothing for granted. Detailed planning may not be your favorite activity but it must be done.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you act too quickly today you run the risk of making a bad call and having to go back to the beginning and start all over again. No matter how confident you may feel make sure you move ahead just a step at a time.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Not everyone shares your can-do attitude and someone of a more cautious nature will attempt to scupper your plans. They are unlikely to succeed but they may annoy you to such an extent that you end up snapping at them, and regretting it later on.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you keep a cool head today there is no limit to what you can achieve. The only problem is that friends and colleagues may be so terrified of making a wrong move that they are incapable of helping you. All the more glory for you then.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Strive to be different today. Refuse to follow the herd. The fact that everyone else seems to be racing towards a single objective suggests they may have fallen for some kind of propaganda – and are heading for the edge of a cliff!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun in your sign means you no longer have to wait for life to come to you – it is now within your power to set the agenda and make good things happen. The more you are on the move today the more opportunities you will create.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Lower your guard a bit today and let partners and loved ones see your vulnerable side. As one of the zodiac’s fire signs you usually come across as super confident but you have doubts and fears like everyone else. You don’t have to deny them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Sometimes you can be a bit too self-controlled and the message of the stars today is that you need to lighten up and focus on the amusing side of life. Under that frosty exterior lurks a stand-up comedian waiting for an opportunity to make people laugh.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Events move so fast in the modern world that few things stay the same for long, but if you are happy with your life the way it is then ignore those who say you need to make changes. Start a new trend today by moving at a slower pace.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You don’t need to ask anyone’s permission to have fun, not with the sun and Mars occupying the most positive areas of your chart. Decide what it is that will bring you most joy and then just do it. There is nothing anyone can do to stop you.
