Poor employment data out of both the United States and Canada failed to stymie investor sentiment as the Canadian markets rallied for a third straight day during Friday trading. For the tale of the tape, the TSX Exchange surged 1.66%, while the TSX Gold Index rallied 1.4% and the TSX Venture Exchange, Canada’s largest junior exploration bourse, added 1.24% with the advancing issuers edging out the decliners by a 390 to 315 margin on 133 million shares traded.
