The TSX Composite Index fell 69.78 points, 0.34 per cent, to 20,692.22 Monday, May 2. Healthcare gained 1.4 per cent and IT 1.7 per cent but all the other sectors were in the red. Tech and cannabis stocks were the day’s biggest gainers.

2022 continues its bearish trend with factors such as inflation, interest rate hikes, supply chain woes, a war in eastern Europe and now Covid-19 lockdowns in China weighing heavy on it.
