The S&P/TSX Composite closed July at 35,226, up 1.06% for the month, a modest headline figure that conceals sharp intra-month swings. The index rallied to within three points of June's all-time intraday high in mid-month, then gave back more than 500 points over the final week following a Federal Reserve rate decision and a company dividend cut. The swings came as a ceasefire between the United States and Iran collapsed earlier in July, reviving volatility across commodity and equity markets.
