The S&P/TSX Composite index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) fell 0.61 percent on Friday to hit a new one-month low, according to Investing.com. The news outlet states that it was pushed down by declines in the energy, healthcare and utilities sectors.
That said, a number of TSX-listed companies fared well this past week. The top gainer was Redhawk Resources (TSX:RDK), and it was followed by Mawson Resources (TSX:MAW), Geodrill (TSX:GEO), Chalice Gold Mines (TSX:CXN) and Mega Uranium (TSX:MGA).
