However, the index was still lack of vitality Wednesday, since investors were worried about the risks from the real estate mortgage. Higher prices and an increase in mortgage rates have made home affordability more of a problem for the average Canadian family, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) said.

As for the currency news, Goldman Sachs said loonie, the nick name for Canadian dollar, will fall in 2014. The bank analyzed that after trading in a fairly narrow band between 95 U.S cents and 1.05 U.S. dollars for the past three years, the loonie is to lose some of its value next year. The Canadian dollar handed back 0.46 U.S. cents to 94.40 U.S cents U.S.
