Canadian stocks were little-changed for a second session as energy and raw-materials producers retreated, while health-care stocks rose, in a day when public holidays in the U.S. and much of Europe reduced trading.
Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. and RMP Energy Inc. dropped at least 2.4 percent to pace declines among energy stocks. BlackBerry Ltd. lost 0.5 percent after cutting jobs at offices around the world to consolidate its shrinking smartphone business. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., the nation’s largest drugmaker, added 0.3 percent.
