Canadian Stocks Advance As U.S.-Iran Talks Gain Momentum

Canadian stocks edged higher on Monday, partially offsetting losses from the prior three sessions, as investors tracked U.S.-Iran peace talks and conflicting reports on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The move appears driven by geopolitical risk sentiment rather than domestic fundamentals, with potential implications for oil and broader market volatility. Overall impact is modest and more likely to influence risk appetite than individual equities.
