TSX Close: TSX Finishes in Negative Territory, Down 21 Points, Despite Late Afternoon Bounce

By Midnight Trader,  September 28, 2012, 04:02:57 PM EDT

The Toronto stock market ended the Friday trading session lower as investors fretted about Europe's debt crisis amid some positive economic news from Statistics Canada and a rally by Research in Motion, whose quarterly loss wasn't as bad as analysts feared.

The S&P TSX Composite Index closed down 21 points to 12,317, close to session highs and recovering from morning lows of 12,248.

Sector wise, consumer and health care stocks were weaker, offset by gains in utilities and information technology. Financials and energy were flat.

Heavily traded stocks included Torex Gold (TXG.TO, +4%), Research in Motion (RIM.TO, +8%) and Air Canada (AC-A.TO, +2%).
