TSX reaches record high at open as gold prices continue to climb

Canada's main stock index reached a record peak this morning as mining shares climbed. Investors are currently weighing new U.S. data on inflation and growth.

Canada's CACA main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite Index, opened at a record high today, February 20, 2026. The move was led by gains in mining shares as gold prices extended their rise, reflecting an immediate market response to commodity price shifts. This record opening occurred as investors were simultaneously assessing contemporaneous U.S. economic data from the United States USUS that showed slower fourth-quarter growth and hotter-than-expected December inflation.
