The Toronto stock market closed lower Friday, weighed down by a selloff of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. after the market heavyweight delivered a disappointing earnings report.

The S&P/TSX composite index lost 73.37 points to 11,212.39, closing out the week 233.56 points or 2.04% lower amid worries about the sustainability of this year’s rally.

RIM shares tumbled $15.12 or 16.77% to $75.04 after coming up short on expectations for revenue, new subscribers and outlook.

The Canadian dollar was 0.23 of a cent lower to 91.6 cents US. Oil rose 13 cents to US$66.02 a barrel after losing almost $6 over the last two sessions.

New York markets were lower as orders for durable goods dropped 2.4% in August, a far worse showing than the 0.5% increase that investors had expected. And new U.S. home sales posted a tepid 0.7% increase last month, which missed Wall Street expectations.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 42.25 points to 9,665.19 while the Nasdaq composite index was weighed down by RIM’s earnings report, falling 16.69 points to 2,090.92 while the S&P 500 index declined 6.4 points to 1,044.38.
