Summary:
Canada’s main stock index reached new highs on Monday, driven by gains in the basic materials sector, while U.S. markets also closed higher as investors evaluated the repercussions of a U.S. military raid in Venezuela.

Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a plan for American oil companies to assist in rebuilding Venezuela’s oil industry. Brian Madden, chief investment officer at First Avenue Investment Counsel, noted that initial reactions might incorrectly suggest the situation is unfavorable for Canadian energy producers.
