Canada Goose tumbles 14.3% after quarterly loss

(Updates at market close)

By Sanchayaita Roy and Fergal Smith

July 31 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index gave back

on Thursday some of its monthly gain, with energy and technology

shares declining as investors assessed corporate earnings and

uncertain prospects for a trade deal between Canada and the

United States.

The S&P/TSX composite index ended down 110.18

points, or 0.4%, at 27,259.78, extending its pullback from a

record closing high on Tuesday. For the month, the index was up

1.5%, its third straight monthly gain.

"While corporate profits are in the spotlight this week and

today ... we still have a relatively favorable backdrop as the

U.S. and Canadian economies are holding up ok despite some of

the trade uncertainty that still persists, especially in

Canada," said Angelo Kourkafas, senior global investment

strategist at Edward Jones.

Canadian gross domestic product decreased by 0.1% in May on a

monthly basis but preliminary estimates showed the economy

regaining the lost ground in June and posting annualized growth

of 0.1% for the second quarter. The Bank of Canada has projected

a second-quarter contraction of 1.5%.

U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his trade war with

Canada ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement,

saying it would be "very hard" to make a deal with Canada after

it gave its support to Palestinian statehood.

The energy sector fell 1.2% as the price of oil

settled 1.1% lower at $69.26 a barrel.

Technology lost 1% and industrials were down 0.8%.

Bombardier shares dipped 0.7%. The business jet

maker reported a slight drop in second-quarter revenue, though

its net income beat analyst expectations.

Luxury goods maker Canada Goose Holdings ( GOOS ) posted a

bigger-than-expected quarterly loss. Its shares tumbled 14.3%,

while shares of Bausch Health Companies ( BHC ) ended 7.7%

lower after the pharmaceutical firm reported its quarterly

results.

Of ten major sectors, only materials, which

includes metal mining shares, ended higher. It rose 0.5% as the

price of gold clawed back some recent declines.
