The CW75 was flat for the week ended December 14, lagging broader markets including the Morgan Stanley global composite and the Standard and Poor's 500, which each rose 1.5%. Stock markets were up on China's decision to maintain interest rates at current levels. Positive U.S. economic data also drove up stocks.
Basic chemical shares increased 1%, diversified chemical stocks were fiat, and specialty chemical shares rose 1.8%. Forty-five stocks rose, four were fiat, and 26 fell.
Fertilizer stocks were among the laggards along with other Canadian stocks listed on Toronto's main stock index. The Canadian government's recent cautious economic outlook drove down stocks.
