5 Top Weekly TSX Performers: Black Iron Takes the Lead
Feb. 06, 2022 07:40PM PST
Last week's top-gaining stocks on the TSX were Black Iron, Gear Energy, Frontera Energy, I3 Energy and Athabasca Oil.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) was trading at 21,254.95 in the early morning last Friday (February 4). It closed the five day period at 21,270.35.
The index was on track for its best weekly performance since December as energy stocks gained and oil prices hit seven year highs on the back of supply concerns. Looking over to other commodities, gold and silver slipped on Friday as the US dollar strengthened after a US jobs report.
Against that backdrop, a number of companies saw their share prices increase during the trading week. Last week’s five TSX-listed mining stocks that saw the biggest gains are as follows:
- Black Iron (TSX:BKI)
- Gear Energy (TSX:GXE)
- Frontera Energy (TSX:FEC)
- I3 Energy (TSX:ITE)
- Athabasca Oil (TSX:ATH)
