周四，标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数徘徊在25300点的平坦线上，受到金融、铁路运营商和能源生产商上涨的支撑，尽管主要矿业股的下跌缓和了涨幅。权重银行加拿大帝国商业银行以1%的涨幅领涨金融股，而加拿大皇家银行和布鲁克菲尔德银行各上涨约0.5%。铁路巨头加拿大太平洋公司和加拿大国家公司各上涨约1%，而随着油价稳定，能源股得到支撑。相反，与黄金挂钩的矿商，包括Agnico Eagle、Barrick Gold、Wheaton Precious和Franco Nevada，对该指数造成了1.1%至1.8%的跌幅。在经济方面，加拿大12月的零售额预计将增长1.6%，这是自2022年5月以来的最高增幅，此前11月停滞不前，以食品和饮料零售商为首的9个子行业中有6个的下降（-1.6%）被机动车和零部件经销商（+2.0%）和加油站（+0.7%）的增长所抵消。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index hovered above the flatline at the 25,300 mark on Thursday, supported by gains in financials, railway operators, and energy producers, though losses among major mining equities tempered the rise. Heavyweight lender CIBC led financials with a 1% gain, while RBC and Brookfield added around 0.5% each. Railway giants Canadian Pacific and Canadian National advanced about 1% each, while energy stocks found support as oil prices stabilized. Conversely, bullion-linked miners, including Agnico Eagle, Barrick Gold, Wheaton Precious, and Franco-Nevada, weighed on the index with losses of 1.1% to 1.8%. On the economic front, retail sales in Canada are expected to jump 1.6% in December—the highest increase since May 2022—after stagnating in November, where declines in six of nine subsectors, led by food and beverage retailers (-1.6%), were offset by gains in motor vehicle and parts dealers (+2.0%) and gasoline stations (+0.7%).
