The TSX’s market open faltered by today’s close, while the CSE saw a similar trend but ended with a positive gain at the bell.
Altogether, this had the Canadian markets finishing the year on a low note.
Matters may have been worse if it weren’t for the energy sectors creating a profit today and throughout 2022.
