Market View

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) delayed the plan to increase production due to weak global demand, helping stabilize oil prices in the range of $70-$80. The US 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased to 6.84% as investors fear President-elect Donald Trump’s policies of higher tariffs on imported goods could reignite inflation. The Canadian dollar was 71.48 cents USD. The U.S. S&P500 ended the week up 0.6%, while the TSX was up 1.5%.

A lot more greens this week than reds. Materials and energy gained 5.1% and 2.6%, respectively. Technology added 0.9%, while consumer discretionary and industrials edged up by 0.5%, each. Financials and real estate ended the week flat, while consumer staples gave 1.2%. The most heavily traded shares by volume were Suncor Energy, Enbridge, and Canadian Natural Resources.
