Oct 4 (Reuters) -Canada's commodity-linked main stock index rose to a record high on Friday as oil extended this week's sharp gains and a blowout U.S. employment report allayed concern about a slowdown in the American economy.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended up 194.33 points, or 0.8%, at 24,162.83, moving past the record closing high it posted on Tuesday.
For the week, the index added 0.9%, its fourth straight weekly advance.
The major U.S. stock indexes also moved higher on Friday as the U.S. economy added more jobs than expected in September.
"It was a strong report across the board, showcasing that the U.S. economy remains resilient in the face of worries about an economic slowdown," said Angelo Kourkafas, a senior investment strategist at Edward Jones. "That's clearly positive for stocks."
Technology rose 2%, helped by a 5.6% gain for the shares of e-commerce company Shopify Inc SHOP.TO.
Going forward, investors could increase participation in cyclical sectors, helping the Toronto market, Kourkafas said.
Combined, the economically sensitive financials, materials and energy sectors account for 63% of the TSX's weighting.
Financials ended up 0.9% on Friday, while energy added 1.3% and was up 8.5% for the week, its biggest weekly advance since October 2022.
The price of oil CLc1 rose for a fourth consecutive session, settling 0.9% higher at $74.38 a barrel, as investors braced for a potential Israeli strike on Iranian energy infrastructure.
U.S.-based Coeur Mining CDE.N will buy SilverCrest Metals Inc SIL.TO for about $1.7 billion, the companies said, as miners look to secure reserves amid surging demand for silver. Shares of SilverCrest jumped 9.7%.
