Canada Market Round-Up
The S&P/TSX Composite Index ended last week on a softer note, declining 0.30% to close at 30,260.74. However, on November 3, the benchmark extended its near-term bullish momentum, advancing 14.32 points (+0.05%) in a session marked by broad-based gains. Strength was most evident across the basic materials, consumer cyclicals, consumer non-cyclicals, utilities, and financial sectors, while energy, industrials, healthcare, real estate, and technology lagged, modestly limiting overall upside. From a technical perspective, the index maintains a firm bullish structure, trading comfortably above its rising trendline support and the 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), both of which continue to underpin the prevailing uptrend. Immediate resistance is seen near 30,800, and a decisive breakout above this level could pave the way for further upward momentum. On the downside, initial support rests around 29,600, with a sustained move below this threshold likely to trigger a short-term corrective pullback. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 74.68, highlighting robust and persistent buying momentum. While this supports a constructive medium-term outlook, it also places the index in overbought territory, suggesting the potential for near-term consolidation or profit-taking before the next advance.
On the macro front, the upcoming major economic events that may impact the Canadian market sentiment include CA Employment Change, US Non-Farm Employment Change and US Unemployment Rate.
