Bar chart ranking the TSX composite's biggest single-session movers on August 4, 2026, led by materials and dragged by energy stocks.

Materials stocks led the session's gain, up 4.7 percent, with Americas Gold and Silver finishing 18.2 percent higher as the index's top performer. Energy producers moved the opposite direction on the same Hormuz headline, with Vermilion Energy down 6.65 percent and Suncor Energy down 3.19 percent. Gold itself closed higher at $4,152.60 even as equities rallied on de-escalation news, an unusual pairing suggesting investors priced reduced tail risk rather than risk that had disappeared entirely.
