Investing.com – The TSX reversed the day’s losses by mid afternoon trading, tracking Wall Street higher to eke out a gain. North American equities in the green as investors bought the dip after a tumultuous week that included a full blown banking crisis, and a relatively muted 25 bps move from the US Federal Reserve. 

Regional banks, including Canadian banks, flipped to a positive by the close although larger US banks continued to trade downwards.

The commodity heavy Canadian index was pressured by oil prices, driven lower by banking fears as U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said refilling the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserves may take several years,  raising worries of dampened demand. 

The Biggest Stories on Bay Street

The entire project is highly contentious, with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer having set up several legal battles for Enbridge, citing environmental concerns as reasons to stop flows through Line 5.
