The TSX ended flat on Thursday, a day after a steep drop on the Bank of Canada’s move to hold its interest rate steady. The mining sector led gainers, followed by technology. The energy sector led losses, though oil prices steadied after falling lower in the previous session.

Investor focus now shifts to more U.S. employment data due this week. The Dow and S&P 500 narrowly avoided their first four-day losing streaks since October. The three major indexes remain poised to finish Q4 and calendar year higher.
