Canadian markets are having a solid day right now. The TSX is up nearly 1.5% with broad strength across tech and materials stocks. I'm noticing the energy sector is also contributing to the rally. Shopify leading the charge with a 9% jump on strong earnings and that $2 billion buyback announcement is definitely catching attention. Several other tech names like Constellation Software and Celestica are posting solid 3-4% gains. What's interesting is the materials stocks are really moving today. Gold and silver miners are up 4-5% across the board - New Gold, First Majestic, Agnico Eagle, Pan American Silver all pushing higher. Iamgold posted some decent earnings that helped the sector sentiment. Commodity prices staying firm is clearly supporting these plays. Energy isn't lagging either with names like Cenovus and Baytex up 2-4%. The soft inflation data we got recently seems to be giving the market confidence to push higher. It's one of those days where multiple sectors are working at the same time, which is always a good sign for broader market strength.
