鈥淭he year, at least in Toronto, is ending the way it's been going all year. Gold is stealing the spotlight, and silver is certainly not hurting, neither is copper,鈥� Currie said.

鈥淭he mining sector is carrying the market this year, just astronomical numbers."

The February gold contract was up US$82.10 at US$4,469.40 an ounce. Gold and silver touched records and oil prices jumped after the U.S. Coast Guard said it was pursuing another sanctioned oil tanker in the Caribbean.

The February crude oil contract was up US$1.49 at US$58.01 per barrel. Prices for Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 2.6 per cent to US$62.07 a barrel.

Over the course of the year, Currie noted gold prices have risen nearly 70 per cent and silver has gained about 128 per cent.

鈥淚t's a little bit unusual for gold to be doing so well in the year when the stock markets and the bond markets are actually doing really well too,鈥� he said.

鈥淗istorically, they鈥檙e not opposites, but there wasn't much of a correlation.鈥�

The gains were broad. Technology companies and banks did much of the heavy lifting. Industrial companies also gave a strong push to major indexes.

Technology companies, especially those focused on artificial intelligence, have been the main force behind the market's oscillations.

Discovery with an 鈥渋rrevocable personal guarantee鈥� from Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle and father of Paramount CEO David Ellison.
