Led by real estate gains, Canada’s main stock index nudged slightly higher on Wednesday, supported by a rise in commodity prices. Softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data cemented rate cut bets for this year.

The NASDAQ and S&P 500 reached record highs and the Dow Jones also had a solid rally. The U.S. consumer inflation report found that the consumer price index rose 0.3 per cent for the month of April, below expectations but supporting hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts soon.
