The Canadian benchmark is down 8.4% this year but helped by its commodities bent, has still managed to outperform US benchmarks. The S&P 500 index is down by over 19.2% this year, while the Nasdaq is down 33%.
Crude meanwhile managed to eke out a gain today as investors await signs of renewed demand from China in the new year.
