TSX Today: What to Watch for in Stocks on Thursday, January 22

    A day after falling sharply due to escalating global trade and geopolitical tensions, the Canadian stock market bounced back on Wednesday after U.S. president Donald Trump said he wouldn’t use force to acquire Greenland, while also backing off plans to impose tariffs on European nations. The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 101 points, or 0.3%, to close at 32,852, marking its eighth gain in the past 10 sessions.

    Although concerns about the overvaluation of many high-flying tech stocks continued to pressure sentiment in the sector, strong gains in energy, industrials, and financials helped keep the TSX index in positive territory.

    Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

    Vermilion Energy, Athabasca Oil, Methanex, and Cameco climbed by at least 5.6% each, making them the top-performing TSX stocks for the day.

    Shares of Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.B) also surged over 5% to $73.31 apiece, making it one of the day’s top gainers on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The rally came after the Vancouver-based metals and mining firm reaffirmed its 2026-2028 production and cost guidance while reporting strong 2025 results.

    Last year, Teck’s copper production hit 453,500 tonnes, right in line with guidance, while its refined zinc production topped the high end of expectations at nearly 230,000 tons. The company also flagged $295 million in positive pricing adjustments due to stronger metals prices. So far in January, Teck stock has risen around 12%.

    In contrast, Vizsla Silver, Wesdome Gold Mines, SSR Mining, and Equinox Gold dived by at least 5% each, making them the session’s worst-performing TSX stocks.

    Based on their daily trade volume, B2Gold, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Enbridge, and Whitecap Resources were the five most active stocks on the exchange.

    TSX today

    With the consistently evolving geopolitical backdrop showing signs of easing, commodity prices were volatile in early trading on Thursday. As a result, the resource-heavy main TSX index could remain largely flat at the open today.

    While no major domestic economic releases are due, Canadian investors may want to keep a close eye on the latest quarterly gross domestic product growth, monthly personal consumption expenditures, and weekly jobless claims data from the United States this morning. These U.S. data points could offer fresh clues about the strength of the world’s largest economy and influence investor sentiment across North American markets.

    On the corporate events front, the TSX-listed NovaGold Resources will announce its latest quarterly results today, which could keep its shares in focus throughout the session.
