Bar chart comparing single session gains in gold mining stocks against losses in Canada's largest banks on August 19, 2026.

Agnico Eagle's 10.5% single session gain came alongside Canada's five largest banks falling in tandem, the sharpest sector split of the year. Research on individual investor behavior finds that buying into a sector after its biggest gains tends to underperform, since the move has typically already happened by the time it becomes visible. A vivid headline number crowds out the ordinary sessions that preceded it, a pattern tied to the availability heuristic in behavioural finance research.
