TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday as lower commodity prices weighed on energy and mining stocks, overshadowing gains for financials and defensive sectors.

The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index (.GSPTSE) unofficially closed down 72.55 points, or 0.54 percent, at 13,311.05. Six of the index's 10 main groups ended lower.
