As the first viable COVID-19 vaccines moved from laboratory to horizon in late November 2020, Canada's investment community began translating hope into numbers. A broad survey of portfolio managers and strategists converged on a forecast that the Toronto Stock Exchange would climb nearly eight percent through 2021, surpassing its pre-pandemic record — a projection rooted not in optimism alone, but in the particular character of a market built around banks, energy, and the rhythms of the real economy. It was, in essence, a wager that the world would remember how to move again.
