Canada’s benchmark stock index was largely unchanged on Tuesday as investors remained on the sidelines after the release of GDP data, while higher oil prices kept the energy sector in focus. Statistics Canada said GDP kept steady in July, ending a three-month stretch of economic expansion.
South of the border, US markets were also muted as traders looked to bounce back from the previous session’s losses, which were driven by climbing Treasury yields.
