Oct 24 (Reuters) -Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday due to broader losses led by mining and telecom stocks, as the market reacted to quarterly earnings from major domestic corporations.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 101.01 points, or 0.41%, at 24,472.61 and was set for its fourth straight session of losses.
The materials sector experienced the largest decline, dropping 1.3%, primarily due to Canadian miner Teck Resources, which fell 6.4% to the lowest point on the TSX after it lowered annual copper production forecast.
Canada's capped communications .GSPTTTS lost 1.1%, hurt by a 2.7% decline in Rogers Communications RCIb.TO as it missed market expectations for third-quarter wireless subscriber additions.
In contrast, information technology .SPTTTK rose 1.9%, benefitting from a 15.4% jump in Celestica CLS.TO after it reported third-quarter results.
While markets continue to absorb the impact of the oversized rate cut announced by the BoC on Wednesday, they remain largely driven by earnings.
"Regardless of what the news, there are some people that are just waiting for the earnings report and no matter what, they're going to sell," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at SIA Wealth Management.
"It looks like it might be profit-taking against the news."
The Bank of Canada lowered its key benchmark rate by 50 basis points; however, economists say another large interest rate cut this year will likely be required to boost growth.
Across the border, Wall Street's major indexes logged gains after Tesla's TSLA.O strong earnings forecast. .N
Investors also reacted to datasets from the U.S., where S&P Global's flash PMI showed business activity increased in October amid strong demand, while U.S. weekly jobless claims unexpectedly fell last week.
