May 10 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index ended lower on Friday as oil prices fell and stronger-than-expected jobs data crimped expectations for Bank of Canada interest rate cuts, with the index pulling back from an earlier record high.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended down 66.9 points, or 0.3%, at 22,308.93, after it touched an intraday record high of 22,470.27.
For the week, the index was up 1.7%, its biggest weekly advance in nearly five months, as investors cheered rising corporate profits and grew more hopeful that the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates this year.
"We are in this mode where good might be better than great when it comes to the labor market and economic growth data as investors look at everything through the lens as to what it means for central banks," said Angelo Kourkafas, a senior investment strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis, Missouri.
Canada's economy added five times the number of jobs that were forecast for April and the unemployment rate unexpectedly held at 6.1%, dampening market bets for a June rate cut.
Money markets see a 44% chance that the Canadian central will ease next month, down from nearly 60% before the data. 0#BOCWATCH
Investors also weighed U.S. data that showed inflation expectations moving higher in May.
The energy sector .SPTTEN fell 1.2% as the price of oil CLc1 settled 1.3% lower at $78.26 a barrel on the prospect of higher-for-longer U.S. borrowing costs, which could slow demand.
Technology .SPTTTK was also a drag, falling 2%, as shares of e-commerce company Shopify SHOP.TO ended 5.6% lower.
Sun Life Financial SLF.TO shares dropped 6.7% after the life insurer missed core profit estimates for the first time in 12 quarters, while shares of CI Financial CorpCIX.TO tumbled 12.1% after its quarterly results.
