Canada's S&P/TSX composite index fell 0.2% to 34,047.97 on midday Tuesday as geopolitical tensions drove energy prices higher. The decline follows two days of gains and coincides with a surge in oil prices. Investors fear rising energy costs will fuel inflation, potentially forcing the central bank to resume interest rate hikes.
