India, July 21 -- Canada's equity benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index moved up firmly Tuesday morning, lifted by strong gains in materials and energy sectors, even as stocks from other sectors turned in a mixed performance.

Reports about fresh diplomatic efforts to ease the Middle East conflict appeared to be aiding sentiment, while U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose an additional 50% tariff on a wide range of goods imported from Canada weighed a bit, limiting market's gains.
