The S&P/TSX Composite closed Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 36,341.40 points. The Canadian benchmark gained 809.12 points, equivalent to 2.28%, from its November 3 closing level of 35,532.28.
Broad advance follows U.S. vote
According to The Canadian Press, Canadian stocks advanced alongside U.S. markets after Democrats took control of Congress in the U.S. midterm elections. The report described broad gains across the Canadian market and recorded the index at 36,341.40 points, 809.12 points above the previous close.
The advance followed a weaker session on Tuesday. S&P Dow Jones Indices lists the November 3 price-return close at 35,532.28 points and the one-day change at minus 0.75%. Wednesday's gain therefore more than reversed that single-session decline.
Financials and telecoms support gains
Market coverage from MT Newswires said financial and telecommunications stocks led the rally. The same report showed the S&P/TSX Capped Financial Index up 3.05%, while the capped energy index fell 6.20%, indicating that the index's advance was not uniform across major sectors.
For investors, the session points to a sharp improvement in the benchmark's daily breadth and momentum, but one strong close does not by itself establish a lasting trend. The index remains a market-wide measure whose performance can diverge materially between financials, energy, materials and technology.
