The TSX Gained 172 Points Thursday. Gold Miners and Bank Earnings Did the Work, Not a Broad Rally.

The TSX's Record Close Was Built Without Energy. Oil's 6% Overnight Jump Just Changed the Math.
Celestica surged 9.5% and Constellation Software jumped 6.4% as the TSX closed at a third straight record Tuesday, while Cenovus and the gold miners lagged. Overnight, WTI reversed hard on Iran's missile attack, flipping the exact sector split that built Tuesday's record.
