Energy and materials companies now constitute about 31.07 per cent of the S\u0026P/TSX Composite Index, surpassing Canada\u0027s banks, insurers and asset managers

The S&P/TSX Energy Sector Index has rallied 34 per cent this year and the S&P/TSX Materials Index climbed 26 per cent, while financials have dropped 1.4 per cent. Copper miner Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. and oil and gas producer Vermilion Energy, Inc. are leading gains on the benchmark, soaring 79 per cent and 73 per cent respectively this year.
