S&P/TSX Composite is a Canadian stock market index representing roughly 70% of the market capitalization on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Under the ticker $TSX, one can track the market value of 250 most important companies. From 2009 to 2020, TSX was a rather weak performer. While S&P500 has gained 410% during that period, TSX made an advance of only 140%. One of the reasons for this lagging behavior could be the highly depressed commodity prices. As a matter of fact, Canadian companies are strongly represented in the oil, gas, metals and mining industries. Hence, it is obvious that in a period of strong US dollar and low commodity prices, those companies could not rise significantly. Currently, commodity prices seem to turn higher which can give a fuel for TSX for a long expected rally.
