TSX futures rose sharply on Wednesday, climbing 0.4% to 8 points ahead of the crucial U.S. non-farm payrolls report. Investors are closely monitoring the data, expected Wednesday after a government shutdown delay, as it will be the first comprehensive labor market update in weeks. The materials sector led gains, offsetting weakness in tech and consumer staples, while AI fears continued to weigh on financial stocks. U.S. futures also ticked up, with S&P 500 futures gaining 0.1% and Dow Jones futures rising 0.2%.
