By Adriano Marchese
Toronto-listed stocks were lower in midday trading, paring some of the mild gains notched in Wednesday's trading session. Most sectors were trending downward at midday, with energy, process industries and consumer-discretionary stocks leading the decline. Of the few gainers, materials led the pack, followed by consumer services, tech and commercial services.
Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index fell by 0.32% to 19993.54 and the blue-chip S&P/TSX 60 was down 0.27% to 1205.56.
Flow Beverage's shares rose by 8.9% to 25 Canadian cents, the equivalent of 18 U.S. cents, as the spring-water company made a move into alcoholic drinks with a deal to manufacture and package BeatBox Beverage's line of Party Punch.
