    Morning Market Breakdown, April 13: Continuing their modest pace from Thursday’s close, most major markets slowly inched forward Friday morning.

    Simmering to close was the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX), which ended Thursday (April 12) at 15,269.27 with a modest 11.37-point boost.

    The index made its best efforts to stay in the green on Friday (April 13) morning as it picked up 7.17 points to reach 15,276.44.

    The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) finished the day at 782.37 with a 4.66-point gain. Continuing upwards, it rose 5.13 points to hit 787.5. Energy stocks were on the rise yesterday, with the group growing 0.5 percent as a whole. Imperial Oil (TSX:IMO) picked up 2.2 percent and Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) gained 1.5 percent.

    With seven of the TSX’s subgroups finishing in the green yesterday, the biggest gains to the index came from Shaw Communications (TSX:SJR.B), which rose 9.8 percent after the company had higher second-quarter profits than expected.

    Finishing the day in green was the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI), which picked up 293.6 points on Thursday to close at 24,483.05. Friday morning saw the Dow get a small boost as it picked up 34.92 points to reach 24,517.97.
