Line chart of the S&P/TSX Composite from September 4 to October 7, 2026, with a five-session average and October 1 low.

The index closed at its lowest level since at least September 4, with banks and gold stocks leading the decline as bullion fell. Over 21 sessions its daily moves have correlated at negative 0.66 with the United States 30-year Treasury yield, meaning the TSX has tended to fall when long-bond yields rise. Federal Reserve minutes pointed to another likely hike by year end, and markets priced about 85% odds of one by December.
