Canadian Market Settles Lower; TSX Sheds 0.6%

Capital Power Corporation (CPX.TO), Dayforce (DAY.TO), Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO), Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU.TO), Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP.TO) and CCL Industries (CCL.B.TO) lost 2 to 3%.

Hut 8 Corp (HUT.TO) zoomed more than 9%. Aya Gold & Silver (AYA.TO) climbed 7.8%. Celestica Inc (CLS.TO), Russel Metals (RUS.TO), GFL Environmental (GFL.TO), Keyera Corp (KEY.TO), Cameco Corporation (CCO.TO), BRP Inc (DOO.TO) and Boyd Group Services (BYD.TO) also posted strong gains.
