TORONTO — Canada's main stock index was down in late-morning trading despite strength in the energy sector as the price of oil moved higher, while U.S. stock markets were up.
The S&P/TSX composite index was down 76.66 points at 35,383.61.
The Toronto Stock Exchange was declining on Wednesday late in the morning, despite the good performance of the energy sector, fuelled by rising oil prices, as the major U.S. indices progressed.
