The much anticipated presidential rally failed to materialize as profit taking was the story of the day during Wednesday trading on the Canadian markets. For the tale of the tape, the TSX Exchange gave back 2.27%, while the TSX Gold Index fell back 1.5% and the TSX Venture Exchange, Canada’s largest junior exploration bourse, lost 2.44% with the declining issuers outpacing the advancers by a 484 to 322 margin on volume of 130 million shares traded.
