The Canadian stock market finished down on Thursday, September 9, extending previous losses, as investors remained cautious about buying equities amid concerns of a delay in the global economic recovery owing to an increase in coronavirus infections. Investors also looked for direction in the United States' unemployment claims data and the European Central Bank's policy announcement.
Despite rebounding from a weak start, the TSX Composite Index fell into negative territory in late-morning trading, ending the day with a loss of 36.52 points or 0.18 per cent at 20,705.27.
The shares of consumer staples and industrials were the biggest losses. IT equities performed well, while the energy, finance, materials, and healthcare shares had a mixed performance.
