Canada’s main stock index rose on Thursday as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon lifted hopes of de-escalation in the broader U.S.-Iran conflict. The move reflects improved risk sentiment ahead of Friday’s key payrolls report, which could reset expectations for growth and policy. Geopolitical relief is supporting equities, though labor data remains the next major macro catalyst.
