week: The Canadian markets ended an overall positive week with a further drop helped by lower oil prices, according to The Toronto Star. Aaron Vincent Elkaim / THE CANADIAN PRESS The December crude contract was down 48 cents at 60.19 U.S. per barrel to the lowest level since February. The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 83.03 points at 15,274.44. but up from 15,150.15 a week ago. But the market decrease was about more than just oil, says Cavan Yie, a portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management. It has shown up in slowing revenue growth, higher than expected operating costs and disappointing margin performance. He said the third quarter hasn't been a strong earning season.
