Lifted by consumer discretionary and mining stocks, Canada’s main stock index hit a record intraday high at 24,107.00 on Thursday. The mining sector led gains on the TSX by a wide margin while the energy and telecom markets were the only decliners.

In a move to regain footing from the previous session’s stumble, U.S. markets moved higher. Weekly jobless claims dropped more than anticipated, indicating a stable labour market. Durable goods orders for August remained flat, contrary to economists’ predictions of a decline. The final estimate of Q2 GDP remained unchanged at a robust 3 per cent.
