The TSX composite gained 4.0% from mid-July through mid-August 2026, even as four separate pullbacks tied to Strait of Hormuz headlines interrupted the climb along the way.

That lesson faces its first real test today, as an interim ceasefire and a related toll waiver both expire, changing the conditions that produced the earlier recoveries.
