The S&P/TSX composite index inched up 3.43 points to 15,458.47.
The Canadian dollar rose 0.02 of a cent at 92.49 cents US.
New York indexes were lower as the Dow Jones industrials moved down 9.48 points at 16,951.09, the Nasdaq declined 3.57 points to 4,445.99 and the S&P 500 index dipped 0.76 of a point to 1,977.58.
