The result was a down day to end a record-breaking week: the Dow -0.42%, the S&P 0.54%% and the Nasdaq -0.71%. For the week, both the both the Dow and S&P lost a third of a percentage point, but the former climbed almost 2% for July and the latter nearly 2.5% added for the month. The Nasdaq shed 1% for the week, but rose 1% in July.

The TSX closed -0.12% for the day, but was up 0.5% for the week. Most sectors performed well, but energy and financials dragged the index down.
