Canada's main stock index is heading for its strongest annual performance in over a decade and a half, shaking off a pullback as we wrap up the year. Despite some selling pressure in the final stretch, the TSX has managed to rack up gains that haven't been seen since the early 2010s. The index's resilience through most of 2025 reflects broader market recovery and economic optimism, though year-end volatility reminds us that even solid performers can face headwinds. For investors tracking multiple asset classes, including digital assets and traditional equities, this resurgence in North American markets highlights the importance of diversified positioning across different market cycles.
