Oil rising on Strait of Hormuz geopolitical tensions, supporting energy names. Q1 2026 earnings season creating binary event risk for several large-cap TSX names this week: SU reports today (May 5 after close), SLF and CNQ on May 7. Sector rotation has favoured precious metals, energy, financials, and industrials. Primary screeners (canada.swingtradebot.com, barchart.com/ca) were inaccessible for live ticker data; G&M breakout articles fetched were cached/historical pages.
