A 0.75% cut in interest rates by the Bank of Canada failed to spark a rally on the Canadian markets during Tuesday trading. For the tale of the tape, the TSX Exchange lost 1.98%, while the TSX Gold Index bucked the trend by adding 1.4% and the TSX Venture Exchange, Canada’s largest junior exploration bourse, fell 1.72% with the declining issuers swamping the advancers by a 511 to 314 margin on volume of 154 million shares traded.
