Toronto-listed indexes were moderately higher as investors await the Bank of Canada's decision on interest rates this week. The central bank is expected to announce a 50 basis-point cut.
Sector performance was mixed in the session, but losses in tech were the largest, followed more distantly by health services and commercial services stocks. Offsetting these were gains primarily in materials, manufacturing and health tech.
Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.3% to 25763.74 and the blue-chip S&P/TSX 60 advanced by 0.2% to 1544.39.
