Investing.com —

Canada’s main stock index, the S&P/TSX Composite, traded in the green by late afternoon, with the commodity heavy Canadian index supported by gains in metal and crude prices. Wall Street’s main indices meanwhile were mixed, with investor sentiment cautious ahead of Big Tech earnings and tomorrow’s Federal Reserve rate decision.

The focus will now be on results from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) scheduled after the close today, and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) on deck for tomorrow.

Canadian investors will also be awaiting tomorrow’s domestic GDP data.
