Canada's stocks benchmark fell on Tuesday, underperforming its US counterpart. Inflation in the country accelerated more than expected, while declining gold prices weighed on the mining sector.
The S&P/TSX Composite Index dropped as much as 1.8% as of 11:55 a.m. in Toronto, heading for its worst day since April 10.
In contrast, the US benchmark, the S&P 500, is gaining for a third-straight session.
