The Toronto Stock Exchange fell across most sectors on Tuesday as investors opted for profit taking. The better, and more stable, oil prices boosted the energy sector which was the only one to see any real gains. Mining was again trading poorly with minerals prices in decline on concern over weak demand.

In Asia profit taking led to a mixed finish; Europe closed lower ahead of a meeting of the ECB this week.
