TSX Retreats After Positive Start, Ends Notably Lower
(RTTNews) - Canadian stocks fell swiftly after a positive start Tuesday morning, and then spent the rest of the day's session in the red to finally settle notably lower.
Energy, healthcare, technology, communications and consumer discretionary stocks posted sharp losses. Several stocks from materials, financials and consumer staples sections too closed weak.
The mood was quite cautious right through the day's session amid concerns about policy tightening by central banks and fears of a recession.

Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (TRQ.TO) shares gained 2.35% after Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto Plc entered into definitive agreement to acquire the about 49% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Turquoise Hill that Rio Tinto does not currently own for C$43.00 in cash per share.
