Line chart of the S&P/TSX Composite daily close from August 31 to October 14, 2026, with the August 31 close marked.

The index went nowhere in a hurry. Daily moves summed without regard to direction total 21.2 percentage points, against a net change of negative 1.9% since August 31. Fed hike odds swung from almost 70% in late September to near 20% by October 6, then to between 42% and 50% after U.S. CPI. Behavioural research calls the tendency to read such releases as a trend belief in the law of small numbers.
