TORONTO, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell to its lowest in more than a week on Wednesday as energy stocks pulled back with cheaper oil, and gold miners and other materials stocks also weighed ahead of the release of minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting.
The energy group retreated 0.9 percent as oil fell for the first time in a week, with investors weighing up how successful potential talks among producers to rein in ballooning oversupply would be. O/R
