The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index, which dropped to a low of 18,945.79, ended down 156.26 points or 0.81% at 19,020.92.

Atco Ltd (ACO.Y.TO) ended down 6.7%. Shopify Inc (SHOP.TO), Nutrien (NTR.TO), Docebo Inc (DCBO.TO), Teck Resources (TECK.B.TO) and West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO) lost 3 to 4.7%.

EQB Inc. (EQB.TO), Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), BRP Inc (DOO.TO) and goeasy (GSY.TO) declined 2 to 2.5%.

Allied Properties Real Estate (AP.UN.TO), Lightspeed Commerce (LSPD.TO), Celestica Inc (CLS.TO), Laurentian Bank (LB.TO), Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO), CDN Western Bank (CWB.TO), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO), Aritzia Inc (ATZ.TO) and Canada Goose Holdings (GOOS.TO) declined sharply.

Park Lawn Corporation (PLC.TO) rallied nearly 5%. Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO), Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO), Precision Drilling Corporation (PD.TO) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP.TO) gained 1 to 1.5%.
