Investing.com – The TSX tracked Wall Street lower to start the week, as market sentiment remained cautious ahead of a slew of US economic data such as non-farm payrolls, that will test investors expectations of rate cuts by early next year.

Canadian investors meanwhile will await a decision by the Bank of Canada on Wednesday, where the Canadian central bank is widely expected to keep rates on hold.

The commodity heavy Canadian index was also pressured by crude prices, as investors appeared underwhelmed by the latest OPEC+ decision on supply cuts.
