"Optimism still seems to be pervading the market but we're entering the most interesting part of the week," said Michael Sprung, president at Sprung Investment Management.

The Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada are due to make policy decisions on Wednesday, while a deadline for Canada to reach a trade deal with the U.S., or face a 35% tariff on its goods, is set for Friday.

The BoC is likely to keep its benchmark rate unchanged at 2.75% for the third straight meeting, economists and market analysts predict, as firm core inflation and robust job growth offset trade uncertainty.

U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra said he hoped a trade deal between Canada and the U.S. would be reached "very soon."

"I think the market has risen on euphoria and I don't know what it will take to break that euphoria, but I think at some point people are going to have to look hard at valuations and decide what intrinsic value really is and that could cause some setback going forward," Sprung said.
