job creation: The S P/TSX composite index closed down 36.04 points to 12,373.3, with the market finding support from most non-resource sectors, according to CTV. Economists had expected job creation somewhere in the neighbourhood of 15,000 last month and Gold and base metal stocks pushed the Toronto stock market lower amid stronger-than-expected job creation numbers in Canada and U.S. for May. Statistics Canada reported 95,000 jobs were created in May, most of them full-time positions. Also, the unemployment rate moved down to 7.1 per cent from 7.2 per cent.
