The substantial bankruptcy by Chinese property developer Evergrande triggered an economic slowdown on Monday, September 20, across the globe, which is impacting the financial systems. Additionally, the upcoming Fed’s action for pumping stimulus into the economy seemingly created uncertainty among the investors.

All the 11 major sectors registered on the TSX composite were down including healthcare (5.01%), Energy (2.84%), Industrial (1.78%), Financial (1.75%) and Technology (1.51%). Thus, the TSX composite index continued in the red zone after losing 335.82 points or down by 1.63% settled at 20,154.54.
