TSX rises as investors weigh jobs data and US-Iran talks

The primary equity market in Canada moved higher at the start of Friday's session as investors evaluated a combination of domestic labor data and inflation figures from the United States. At 09:30 a.m. ET, the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite Index climbed 0.15% to trade at 33,528.17 points.

Market sentiment is being shaped by dual economic reports that provide insight into the health of the North American economy. While the Canadian jobs report offers a look at local labor strength, the U.S. inflation data remains a focal point for global interest rate expectations.
