Canada’s main stock index marginally declined on Wednesday, June 30, as official data showed lowered real gross domestic product (GDP) for April 2021 and forecast contraction for May as well.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 0.03% to 20,165.58 on Wednesday, while the industrials sector dropped 0.31% and the technology sector dwindled by 1.13%.
The fall was partly negated by a 1.08% gain in the energy sector amid rising oil prices.
