Toronto Stock Exchange Outlook: TSX Reopens Monday With Oil Sliding, Precious Metals Surging, and Year-End Liquidity Thin

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 8:39 a.m. ET — Market closed The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) heads into Monday’s reopening with a familiar late-December cocktail: thin liquidity, big commodity moves, and geopolitics that refuses to stay politely off the trading floor. After a holiday-interrupted stretch that left markets quiet but not calm, investors will be weighing whether the TSX’s 2025 leadership—powered by metals and financials—still has fuel, or whether energy’s headwinds and a firmer Canadian dollar start to bite. The last TSX session—Christmas Eve’s shortened trade—ended with the S&P/TSX Composite down 0.2% at 31,999.76, as materials and energy dragged while

Santa Claus Rally Watch: S&P 500 Near 7,000 as Fed Minutes Loom and Gold, Silver Smash Records

Wall Street is closing out 2025 with a familiar year-end mix: record-level equity prices, thin holiday liquidity, and a growing list of “what could move markets next week” catalysts—from Federal Reserve minutes to political headlines around the next Fed chair. After a quiet post-Christmas session on Friday, December 26, U.S. stocks finished barely changed but still near all-time highs, keeping investors focused on whether the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” can carry major indexes into the final trading days of the year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 1:41 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend) Basic materials stocks are heading into the final trading stretch of 2025 with fresh momentum—and it’s being driven less by company-specific headlines and more by a powerful macro cocktail: record-setting metals prices, expectations for easier U.S. monetary policy, and year-end market rotation into cyclical sectors. In the most recent U.S. session (Friday, Dec. 26), trading was light after the Christmas holiday. The major indexes ended fractionally lower, but the market stayed close to record territory.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 8:35 a.m. ET — Market closed The Toronto Stock Exchange is shut for the weekend, and Canadian equities are effectively in “pause mode” after a holiday-shortened stretch that left the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite hovering just below a psychological milestone: 32,000. That “quiet” headline hides a louder reality. The last full trading pulse from Toronto came in a thin, early-closing Christmas Eve session—and since then, the global market narrative has been dominated by two forces TSX investors obsess over for good reason: commodities and rates.
