Canada’s benchmark index on Wednesday posted its sixth consecutive gain, even as European stocks retreated following weak readings on service-sector activity in June.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed at 11,913.87, up 65.12 points or 0.6 per cent.
The gain follows a big rally on Tuesday, when the index made its biggest one-day move since November. The U.S. market was closed on Wednesday for Independence Day.
