Line chart showing the TSX Composite rising 4.0 percent from mid-July to mid-August 2026 despite four separate pullbacks tied to Strait of Hormuz headlines.

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. Each dip was fully recovered within one to four trading sessions, a pattern that has taught investors to treat Hormuz-linked selloffs as buying opportunities. 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.
