Bar chart showing the TSX's biggest movers Friday, led by falling gold miners and TELUS's dividend cut.

The S&P/TSX Composite fell 0.79 percent Friday as a drop in gold dragged materials stocks lower and TELUS slid on its dividend cut, even though the index still closed July up 1.1 percent for a fourth straight monthly gain. Gold has since recovered above Friday's level while crude oil remains below its Friday close, leaving Tuesday's reopening to price a reversed commodity backdrop against Monday's record close on US benchmarks.
