Line chart of S&P/TSX Composite daily closes from August 20 to September 23, 2026, ending with a sharp drop.

The S&P/TSX Composite fell on September 23, 2026, even as crude oil rallied, because losses in gold miners outweighed modest gains in energy stocks. The drop reversed part of the rebound from the September 16 low, which coincided with the first US Federal Reserve rate hike since 2023. Rising US bond yields have added pressure on gold, a non-yielding asset, while the index remains below its late-August high for the period.
