Line chart of the S&P/TSX Composite Index, September 8 to 24, 2026, showing a September 22 high then a sharp drop.

A hawkish Federal Reserve decision and a sudden reversal in metals prices hit mining shares, producing the steepest single-session decline in more than three months. That drop came a day after the index set a fresh high. Behavioural research suggests one large, vivid session is remembered more readily than several ordinary ones, so the drop can weigh on sentiment more than the full period justifies.
