After a week of consecutive positive sessions, Canada’s main stock index flatlined at Friday’s close. The TSX’s energy sector fell after a drop in the price of oil as the heavyweight mining and industrials sectors also fell.

There was little movement for markets south of the border, where traders closed out this week’s recovery rally finally seeing some stability after the ripple-effects from last week’s global selloff.
