Aug 27 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday due to declines in healthcare, mining and energy stocks, while investors focused on mixed quarterly results from two major domestic lenders.
At 10:03 a.m. ET (14:03 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 106.73 points, or 0.46%, at 23,242.24, and was set to snap its two-day record-breaking streak.
At least nine major sectors on the TSX declined led by a drop in healthcare .GSPTTHC sector at 1.5%, primarily due to cannabis firm Tilray Brands TYRL.TO falling 6%.
The materials sector .GSPTTMT dropped 1% tracking gold prices, despite copper prices nearing their six-week high. GOL/ MET/L
The energy sector .SPTTEN slipped 0.8% as oil prices declined after gaining over 7% in the past three sessions on the possible widening of the Middle East conflict and potential shutdown of Libya's oil fields. O/R
In domestic earnings, Bank of Nova Scotia BNS.TO shares rose 2% on better-than-expected profit, while Bank of Montreal BMO.TO shares fell 6% on a profit miss, with both banks setting aside larger funds for bad loans.
"There's more likely downside pressure for bank earnings moving forward with a slowing Canadian economy as consumers seem to be tapped out at this moment," said Macan Nia, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife Investment Management.
Domestic investors are eyeing a further loosening of credit conditions with higher bets on a 25-basis point cut at the Bank of Canada's next policy meeting on September 4. 0#BOCWATCH
On Wednesday, markets will pay attention to the earnings of AI-darling Nvidia NVDA.O, where investors expect nothing short of outstanding results from the trillion-dollar company.
Meanwhile, results from the domestic lenders like Royal Bank of Canada RY.TO and National Bank of Canada NA.TO will also remain on investors' radar.
