The Toronto stock market entered bull market territory Friday, rising more than 20 per cent over its lowest close in 2016 to date. With its latest gain, the TSX now is 20.1 per cent above its Jan. 20 close of 11,843.11. The Toronto stock market entered what some consider bull market territory Friday, finishing the session more than 20 per cent above its January low, while the loonie soared nearly one cent following disappointing jobs numbers south of the border. The Toronto stock market moved ahead on the strength of a big boost from precious metals miners following a key U.S. government report. “The world changed at 8:30 this morning ... because of the jobs data,” said Allan Small, a senior adviser at Holliswealth.
