The S&P/TSX Composite traded at 36,099 points at 12:31 p.m. ET on October 27, up 155 points or 0.4 percent. Base-metal gains lifted the index as investors awaited central-bank decisions.
Celestica jumped 10.0 percent after beating third-quarter revenue and profit estimates. The stock was the strongest named mover in the available intraday coverage.
Why is the S&P/TSX Composite higher?
Materials led the advance, rising 1.3 percent as copper prices gained and gold reversed earlier losses, Reuters reported. Information technology added 0.2 percent, helped by Celestica, while energy fell 1.1 percent as oil prices turned lower.
Reuters also said markets were watching possible progress in US-Canada tariff talks. The discussions involve potential relief for Canadian steel, adding a separate policy focus for the benchmark.
Celestica leads technology gains
Celestica advanced after its quarterly results topped estimates, according to Reuters. The move helped offset weakness across much of the technology group.
The index opened at 35,916 points, based on Baystreet.ca. By 12:31 p.m. ET, it had risen to 36,099 points, according to Investcom.
