News Summary:
A broadbased selloff led by commodity stocks pushed the Toronto stock market more than 250 points lower Friday.
The S&P/TSX composite index tumbled 262.21 points to 13,096.7 as concerns mounted about a slowing global economy and the effect on oil and metal stocks.
The loss took the TSX's main index down 241.68 points or 1.75% for the week with finance, base metals, gold and energy stocks all lower.
But while commodities led the way downward, all TSX sectors were lower, save for a small gain in consumer discretionary stocks.
New York markets were mainly higher thanks to a sharp drop in the price of oil which deflected more grim data on consumer sentiment.
The Canadian dollar was up 0.38 of a cent at 94.43 cents US.
Statistics Canada reported that manufacturers' sales hit $52.5 billion in June, up 2.1% from May, with much of the increase powered by higher prices. It says petroleum and coal made the biggest sales gains, jumping 6.4%. Sales by primary metals manufacturers rose 6.1%.
New York's Dow Jones industrial average gained 43.97 points to 11,659.9. The Nasdaq composite index moved down 1.15 points to 2,452.52 and the S&P 500 added 5.26 points to 1,298.2 as investors were also reminded of the fragile state of the consumer.
The University of Michigan reported a slightly smaller-than-expected rise in consumer sentiment in early August compared with July, signalling that the average consumer remains
under pressure.
The September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $1.24 to US$113.77 a barrel after going as low as US$111.34 as the U.S. dollar extended its recent rally against major currencies. Prices had risen sharply Wednesday in the wake of U.S. Department of Energy figures showing a larger than expected drawdown of gasoline inventories last week.
But the main direction of oil has been down since hitting a record of just over US$147 on July 11 on the belief that economies around the world are slowing down, if not in recession. On Thursday, both Germany and France reported declines in second-quarter gross domestic product, their first quarterly decreases in years.
The gold sector was 4% lower as bullion moved below the US$800 level. The December gold contract on the Nymex closed down $22.40 to US$792.10. (THE CANADIAN PRESS)
