The Toronto stock market closed lower for a second session as gains in mining stocks were offset by sliding energy and industrial stocks.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 82.97 points to 10,432.35. The main index’s 25-point dip Tuesday broke a six-session winning streak that sent the main index up almost 800 points.

Other analysts warned that the market could have a harder time advancing because investors are raising their expectations.

The energy sector was off 1.13% as investors took in the first of quarterly earnings from sector heavyweights.

Oil prices fell Wednesday as the September crude contract dipped 21 cents to US$65.40 a barrel.

The Canadian dollar gained seven tenths of a US cent to 91.03 cents US as Canadian retail sales rose 1.2% in May. The showing more than offset a modest 0.8% decline in April.

New York markets were mainly weaker in the wake of the latest earnings from the financial sector.

The Dow Jones industrial average declined 34.68 points to 8,881.26. The Nasdaq composite index rose 10.18 points to 1,926.38 after Yahoo Inc. and Apple Inc. posted better-than-expected profits late Tuesday.

The S&P 500 slipped 0.51 of a point to 954.07.

The August bullion contract on the Nymex moved $6.40 higher to US$953.30 an ounce and the gold sector was off 0.8%.
