Bar chart showing Cargojet and other top-gaining TSX stocks leading Tuesday's session as energy stocks lagged.

Cargojet led Tuesday's TSX session, up 4.6 percent, as financials and industrials drove the index to a fresh intraday record. The big four banks and Brookfield each added roughly a percentage point, while the broad energy sector, Monday's clear leader, gained just 0.3 percent, the day's weakest performance. The shift followed comments from Qatari and Pakistani officials pointing to progress in Oman-Iran shipping talks and a possible US-Iran arrangement.
