Canadian Financial Close: TSX continues to fall

By Commodity News Service Canada

WINNIPEG, September 27 – The Canadian dollar inched higher
against its US counterpart as losses in crude oil were offset by
investments made in the wake of the first US presidential
debate.
Hilary Clinton was generally seen as the winner of the
first debate between herself and fellow rival Donald Trump,
which led many markets to price in a smaller chance of a Trump
presidency.
The Canadian dollar closed at US$0.7574 or US$1=C$1.3203.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index continued to fall with losses
in mining and energy leading the way.
On the flip side, Air Canada recovered from a poor showing
on Monday, rising 4.8%.
The index lost 61.42 points, or 0.42%, to close at
14,558.04.

AGT Food and Ingredients—–dn $ 0.13 at $ 37.15
