While the utilities sector led gains on the TSX, a drop among energy and tech shares kept growth in check.

U.S. markets also rallied though this week’s earnings reports have been a mixed bag, with strong performances from major banks being somewhat dampened by weak forecasts from companies such as Dutch chipmaker ASML (NDAQ:ASML) and UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH).
