Consumer-related stocks help lift TSX to record closing high
(Reuters) -Canada's stock market rose to a record high on Wednesday, led by gains for the utilities and consumer-related sectors, as long-term borrowing costs fell and investors grew less anxious about the prospect of sweeping U.S. tariffs on imports from Canada. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended up 83.16 points, or 0.3%, at 25,488.30, eclipsing the record closing high it posted on Friday. Investors have "had a day to think about the tariff situation and maybe it's not as bad as they originally thought," said Michael Sprung, president of Sprung Investment Management.
