5 Top Weekly TSX Stocks: Eastern Platinum Rises 20 Percent
Last week's top-gaining stocks on the TSX were Eastern Platinum, Questerre Energy, Orvana Minerals, Fission Uranium and Crew Energy.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) opened up last Friday (August 11) at 20,342.88.
The index was on track to end the week on a positive note, rising 1.18 percent during the five day trading week. Lower-than-expected US inflation numbers supported investors’ expectations that the Federal Reserve could end its rate hikes soon.
Looking over to commodities, gold fell on Friday, trading around the US$1,917 per ounce mark, with sister metal silver also dropping, falling to the US$22 per ounce level.
But gold might be headed to a new high, according to Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group, who doesn't think it needs a catastrophe to get there.
"There are a whole lot of issues that are lined up against the value of wealth right now. Looking into 2024, 2025 we see a lot of really good substantive real reasons to have some of your assets in gold," he explained at the Rule Symposium.
