A decline in energy and mining stocks tracking lower oil and metal prices pushed the TSX lower on Tuesday. Canada’s energy sector could come under more pressure because of a decline in oil prices as markets still await an Israeli response to the Iranian rocket attacks that had triggered a rally in crude last week. The industrials sector was the top gainer with tech a close second.

On Wall Street, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 rebounded after a losing session. U.S. markets have been volatile this month given the escalating conflict in the Middle East. The S&P is up by a little more than 1.3 per cent in October after a 2 per cent gain in September. Traders are also weighing the impact that Hurricane Milton will have on the freight and insurance industries, among others.
