As a smallcap Canadian Investor, this chart is very important to keep an eye on. The S&P/TSX Venture Index has recently crossed the 200 day moving average on the back of precious metals and commodities strength; and a lack of sellers after a 3 year decline.
Looking deeper into individual stocks, I'm no longer seeing algos mark stocks lower into the close. Instead I'm seeing those algos buy stock into the close. This is a welcome change, and could provide a nice boost to our markets in the months to come.
