Nuvei Corporation (NVEI.TO), Rogers Communications (RCI.A.TO), goeasy (GSY.TO), West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO), Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH.TO), TFI International (TFII.TO), Colliers International (CIGI.TO) and Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) lost 1 to 3.5%.

Bombardier Inc (BBD.A.TO), Ritchie Bros Auctioneers (RBA.TO), Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM.TO), Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO) and BRP Inc (DOO.TO) gained 1 to 3%.

Data released by Statistics Canada said new home prices in Canada fell by 0.2% from the previous month in February of 2023. On a yearly basis, new home costs rose by 1.4%, slowing from the 2.7% increase in the previous month.
