CLOSING BELL: TSX makes back early losses while energy weighs

It was a fairly flat day on Bay Street while Wall Street took some losses.

The TSX was lower this morning, weighed down by the energy sector, but it made up ground later in the day to close at 15,604, as gold helped push it 26 points higher. Ongoing concerns over climbing U.S. production compared to OPEC keeping up supply cuts are taking their toll on oil prices.

In New York the Dow Jones was higher early but steadily gave those gains up as the day went on, ending down 157 points to 25,178. Experts are saying some of the recent gains from positive jobs data is being overshadowed by lingering concerns over tariffs. Investors will have lots to digest this week as numbers for American inflation and retail get released.
