Investing.com –The TSX tracked Wall Street higher this afternoon, as banking fears continued to recede following the sale of SVB assets. Equities were also supported by a retracement i Treasury yields, and as investors continue to hope for a pause from the US Federal Reserve i the face of uncertainty over the economic outlook.
The energy subindex continued to boost the commodity heavy Canadian index as resource stocks recovered from last week’s brutal selloff driven by banking worries. Crude price however ticked lower on the day as investors pocketed profits. However supply worries remain at the forefront following lower than expected US inventories, larger than expected gasoline draws, and a halt to some exports from Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
