(Mar 10, 2010) Commodity and financial stocks pushed the TSX lower yesterday as oil and gold prices fell and Scotiabank failed to encourage buyers even as its $988-million Q1 profit beat expectations. The negative showing on the TSX came exactly 12 months after the market hit bottom in the depths of the financial crisis, sparked by the collapse of the U.S. housing sector. Crude prices fell back after rising about 15 per cent over the last month on hopes for rising demand while the Canadian dollar continued climbing toward its highest level of the year.
