The TSX fluctuated between gains and losses on Thursday as weakness in energy and materials stocks was met with strength in industrials and tech.
The Canadian benchmark index finished the day up 42.18 points, to 19,062.85.
While the overall index climbed, energy stocks were down 2.15 per cent as oil prices fell.
Benchmark WTI crude was down nearly 3.5 per cent at US$96.47 a barrel as investors worried about crude demand, following a steeper-than-expected gain in U.S. gasoline inventories last week.
