Higher stock futures and rising gold and crude oil futures point to a positive start for the Canadian stock market on Tuesday.
However, stock may find it tough to hold at higher levels, as investors may refrain from making big moves due to concerns over U.S.-China trade tensions and the uncertainty around the North American Free Trade Agreement.
On Monday, the benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index ended down 16.81 points, or 0.10%, at 16,207.32, after scaling a high of 16,276.90 and a low of 16,198.69 intraday.
