5 Top TSX Stocks: Exchange Falls to Lowest Close in Six Weeks

The S&P/TSX Composite index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) was down again last week by 1.78 percent to 14,509.25 points.
Reuters Canada noted on Friday the drop was the exchange’s lowest close in six weeks as a result of declining energy and banking shares being pressured by oil prices.

•  Serabi Gold (TSX:SBI)
