TSX Gains Ground Despite Tumble in Crude Prices

By Ketki Saxena

Investing.com -- Canada’s main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite tracked the S&P500 and Nasdaq higher by afternoon trading, as the Wall Street indices were boosted by megacaps and chip stocks.

The Dow meanwhile was pressured by Boeing (NYSE:BA) shares, as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the grounding of some jets.

Gains on the commodity heavy Canadian index were capped by losses in the energy sector, as crude prices fell following price cuts by Saudi Arabia, and a rise in OPEC output.
