TSX Hits Record High Led by Tech
The TSX, Canada's main stock index, reached a new record high on Tuesday.
This happened because investors moved their money from semiconductor stocks to tech and financial stocks.
Tech stocks, like Celestica and Constellation Software, did really well, while the materials sector, which includes gold mining, did not do as well.
Investors are now waiting for a decision from the Federal Reserve about interest rates, which could affect the market.
TSX Composite Index reached a record high of 35,749.70.
Tech sector rose by 5.1%, with Celestica up 9.5% and Constellation Software up 6.4%.
Financial sector gained 1.1% and consumer staples rose 2%.
Materials sector fell 1.6% due to a drop in gold prices.
Investors await the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.
