(RTTNews) - The Canadian market closed on a bright note on Friday, snapping a 6-day losing streak, after data from U.S. Commerce Department showing a slower than expected pace of acceleration by the PCE price index raised hopes for more interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve next year.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index fell to 24,250.02 in early trades, but recovered soon and then kept moving higher to eventually settle at 24,599.48 with a gain of 185.54 points or 0.76% at 24,599.48. The index shed about 2.9% in the week.

The company's Internet of Things (IoT) segment generated $62 million in revenue, marking a 13% year-over-year increase and beating the $58.5 million forecast.
