Several factors led to the recent most uptick in the market. The S&P/TSX Composite Index went through a rough month in September 2021, putting up its worst performance in the pandemic since the initial downturn in February and March 2020. A global recovery seems to be well underway as the benchmark index managed to hit new all-time highs.
