    Hot on the heels of a successful Friday, Monday morning showed signs of prosperity across several different markets in both Canada and the US.

    The streak continued Monday (February 26), with the index starting the morning at 15,701.13, a rise of 62.68 points.

    Friday was less kind to the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX), which dipped 3.1 points and ended the day at 826.09. Monday morning brought a head start, however, with the index opening at 833.5.

    Continuing a strong week was the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI), which had a massive 347.51-point boost on Friday to cap the week at 25,309.99 points. Monday morning was no exception for Dow, as the day kicked off at 25,403.35, a 93.36-point boost from Friday’s close.

    The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) saw a rise of 43.34 points by the end of Friday, ending the week at 2,747.3. Monday morning started off in the green with an open of 2,757.37, a small gain of 10.07 points.

    Major miner news

    • Newcrest Mining (ASX:NCM): The Australia-based company announced Monday that it has entered a “strategic partnership” with Lundin Gold (TSX:LUG) under which it will make a $250-million investment to gain a 27.1-percent stake in the company. This comes as part of a US$400-million equity raising to fund the development of Lundin Gold’s Fruta del Norte gold mine in Ecuador.
