TSX Ends Marginally Up

(RTTNews) - The Canadian market ended marginally up on Monday after stocks turned in a mixed performance in cautious trade ahead of the Bank of Canada's monetary policy announcement due on Wednesday.

Real estate, healthcare and financials shares found some support.

Quebecor Inc (QBR.A.TO) climbed 6.5%. Precision Drilling Corporation (PD.TO) surged nearly 4%. Ag Growth International (AFN.TO), Magna International (MG.TO), TFI International (TFII.TO), Descartes Systems Group (DSG.TO), Colliers International (CIGI.TO), BRP Inc (DOO.TO) and EQB Inc (EQB.TO) gained 1.6 to 2.7%.

CGI Inc. (GIB-A.TO) gained 1.5%. The company announced Monday a partnership with Korber to enable pharmaceutical and life sciences companies to improve production processes by combining CGI's end-to-end services with Korber's Werum PAS-X Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Suite.

Bombardier Inc (BBD.B.TO) ended 6.6% down. Ero Copper (ERO.TO) and Endeavour Mining Inc. (EDV.TO) closed lower by 5% and 4.4%, respectively.
