The main stock index in Canada edged higher on Monday, snapping a three-session losing streak as market participants reacted to a dip in oil prices and positive cues from the United States. The S&P/TSX composite index rose 0.7% to 32,778.96 points by late morning, positioning the market for its most significant daily gain since late February. While geopolitical tensions remain high, the retreat in crude prices provided a boost to investor sentiment across all major sectors.
