The S&P/TSX Composite finished the Toronto trading session on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 35,530.34 points. According to Yahoo Finance historical data, the benchmark fell 74.96 points, or 0.21 percent, from its November 5 close of 35,605.30.
Healthcare And Technology Provide Support
The modest daily decline followed a volatile week for Canadian equities. Earlier on Friday, healthcare and technology stocks helped lift the benchmark, while industrial shares weakened. Reuters, published by MarketScreener, reported that healthcare stocks led gains in late-morning trading and that technology shares were rebounding after the previous session's sell-off in US artificial-intelligence stocks.
That report also said Canada's economy lost a net 4,700 jobs in October, while the unemployment rate reached a six-month high. The data added a domestic economic signal to a session already shaped by international technology-market volatility. Energy shares were also higher in late-morning trading, although the final index result was modestly negative.
Context For Investors
Friday's close left the index below the 36,000-point level and extended the market's recent two-way movement. The benchmark had fallen sharply on Thursday before recovering part of that decline during Friday trading. The small final loss indicates that early sector gains did not carry through to a positive close across the broader index.
For investors, the immediate focus remains divided between Canadian economic data, sector-specific earnings and the global repricing of technology-related risk. The performance of healthcare and technology shares provided a partial offset on Friday, but the index remained sensitive to changes in industrial shares and sentiment toward US artificial-intelligence companies.
