TORONTO _ Canada’s main stock index rose and U.S. markets pared back early gains as investors reacted to a late-afternoon surge in bond yields, while the loonie dipped below 79 cents.
Bond prices fell, sending the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note to its highest level in four years, following newly released minutes from the U.S. Federal suggesting bullish sentiment among policy-makers and signalling more interest rate hikes ahead.
Banks rose along with the bond yields, as the S&P/TSX composite index advanced 84.57 points to 15,524.01, helped in part by the influential financials sector.
In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 166.97 points to 24,797.78. The S&P 500 index was down 14.93 points to 2,701.33 and the Nasdaq composite index gave back 16.08 points to 7,218.23.

That date never came. Negotiations on both the Canada-India Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA) and the Canada-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)—deals that were intended to add billions to the trading relationship and the gross domestic products of both countries—remain ongoing.
Merchandise trade between the two countries totalled $8.3 billion in 2017, per Statistics Canada data; with Germany, by contrast, Canada did $22 billion last year. The two agreements being negotiated promise to boost that figure significantly…
