The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 11, edition that the Toronto Stock Exchange advanced on Monday, with a rally in metal prices acting as a tailwind. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that the S&P/TSX Composite Index ended up 404.44 points, or 1.4 per cent, at 30,316.63, its highest closing level since Oct. 28. The index clawed back the declines it had posted since the start of November, moving back in sight of last month's record high close of 30,637.12. The TSX materials group, which includes metal mining shares, jumped 3.8 per cent as gold and copper prices climbed. Shares of Barrick Mining were up 5.3 per cent after the company beat quarterly profit estimates. The price of oil settled 0.6 per cent higher at $60.13 (U.S.) a barrel, which helped lift the energy sector. Energy was up 1.5 per cent and technology added 2.2 per cent. Shares of electronic equipment firm Celestica advanced 6.9 per cent. Just two of the 10 major TSX sectors ended lower, including industrials, which dipped 0.2 per cent.
