After a week of record highs and stiff losses, Canada’s main stock index closed out the week trading wins and losses in-tune with activity on Wall Street. Traders have taken a step back after markets on the TSX rallied over the week because of the U.S. interest rate cut.

U.S. markets came off a record-setting rally from the previous session as investor confidence surged with the Federal Reserve initiating its easing cycle with a substantial 50-basis-point rate cut, promising further reductions. The central bank also forecasted a phase of consistent economic growth, coupled with low unemployment and inflation. Wall Street’s gains mirrored the rallies seen in European and Asian markets after the Fed’s first interest rate cut in more than four years.
