Sept 13 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index rose to an all-time high on Friday in a broad-based rally, led by mining stocks, as expectations rose the U.S. FederalReserve would opt for an oversized interest rate cut at a policy decision next week.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended up 93.51 points, or 0.4%, at 23,568.65, moving past the record closing high it set on Thursday. For the week, the index was up 3.5%, its biggest weekly gain since October.
"This is the everything rally going on. We've got equities up, we've got bonds working, commodities going," said Greg Taylor, a portfolio manager at Purpose Investments.
"We're getting a lot of expectations that the Fed next week is going to do a 50 basis-point cut. Markets seem to be cheering that on."
Wall Street's main indexes also rose as investors priced in a near 50% chance of a half-percentage-point reduction in interest rates by the Fed at a policy decision due on Wednesday.
The Toronto market's materials group, which includes fertilizer companies and metal mining shares, rose 1.5% as gold and copper prices climbed, notching its highest closing level since April 2022.
Technology added 0.7% and real estate, which could particularly benefit from lower borrowing costs, ended 2.1% higher.
Canada's 2-year yield CA2YT=RR fell nearly 6 basis points to 2.945%, its lowest level in more than two years.
The Canadian government will not intervene to end a dispute between Air Canada AC.TO and its pilots and intends instead to pressure both sides to avert a strike, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. Air Canada's shares ended nearly 1% higher.
