Reuters – 1 hour 17 minutes agoTORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened lower on Friday, led by weaker financial and energy shares, as fears of an early end to the U.S. government bond-buying program offset data showing positive economic sentiment in Germany.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE) was down 33.62 points, or 0.27 percent, at 12,624.47 shortly after the open.
