The Canadian Index

Line chart showing the US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate over two weeks into September 2026.

The Canadian dollar firmed to its strongest level in two weeks even as broad selling pulled the TSX to a five-week low, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling the same session and confirming the pressure was not Canada-specific. Gold fell roughly 5% from its late-August peak, an unusual retreat given the escalating Middle East conflict that would typically support the metal as a hedge. Energy weight provided some offsetting support to the index that the rest of the market did not share.
