TSX Today: What to Watch for in Stocks on Monday, April 27

The roller coaster in Canadian stocks continued on Friday as investors remained cautious amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and sharp swings in commodity prices, especially crude oil. The S&P/TSX Composite Index slipped by nine points for the day to settle at 33,904 — marking its second consecutive daily decline.

Even as intraday declines in crude oil prices pressured energy stocks, renewed buying in other key sectors like healthcare, utilities, and consumer staples helped limit the broader market’s losses.

With this, the TSX benchmark ended the week with a 1.3% decline, snapping its four-week winning streak due to persistent geopolitical uncertainty.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Energy Fuels, First Quantum Minerals, BlackBerry, and Rogers Communications were the day’s worst-performing TSX stocks, with each falling by at least 3.7%.

On the brighter side, Curaleaf, Celestica, TransAlta, and Enerflex climbed by at least 2.9% each, making them the session’s top-performing TSX stocks.

Despite the broader market weakness, Mullen Group (TSX:MTL) continued to rally for a second consecutive day after the logistics provider reported stronger first-quarter results driven mainly by acquisitions. The company’s revenue in the latest quarter rose 10.2% year over year to a record first-quarter level of $547.7 million, while its net profit also climbed 18.6% to $21 million.

Mullen attributed higher earnings to its expanded business network. MTL stock gained as investors welcomed the Okotoks-based firm’s acquisition-led growth, improving freight market signals, and its management’s comments that demand was holding steady while supply was tightening in parts of the trucking and logistics industry.

Based on their daily trade volume, Canadian Natural Resources, TC Energy, Enbridge, Manulife Financial, and Baytex Energy were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

TSX today

Metal prices were largely mixed in early trading on Monday, pointing to a flat opening for the resource-heavy main TSX index today.

While crude oil remained elevated, supported by ongoing supply concerns, investors were also weighing reports that Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz as part of a broader deal. This potential diplomatic path has added a layer of uncertainty, as U.S. officials have yet to signal whether they will engage with the proposal.

Although no major domestic economic releases are due this morning, geopolitical developments around the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations could remain a key driver for TSX sentiment this week.

On the corporate events side, the TSX-listed Celestica and TFI International will announce their latest quarterly results today.
