(RTTNews) - The Canadian market ended weak on Tuesday, weighed down by losses in energy and industrials sectors. The mood remained cautious as investors looked ahead to the Bank of Canada's interest rate decision due on Wednesday, and some crucial U.S. economic data.

Imperial Oil (IMO.TO), TFI International (TFII.TO) and Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) also ended notably lower.

Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (ATD.TO) shares ended 0.6% down. The company said it agreed with Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec (CDPQ) to buyback 8.7 million common shares held by CDPQ at $80.50 per share, for $700 million in total.

Canadian Tire Corporation (CTC.TO) soared 9.4%. goeasy (GSY.TO) and Badger Infrastructure Solutions (BDGI.TO) gained 4.5% and 4.1%, respectively.

Sprott Inc (SII.TO) climbed about 2.2%. Celestica Inc (CLS.TO), Dollarama Inc (DOL.TO), Stella-Jones (SJ.TO), EQB Inc (EQB.TO), Kinaxis Inc (KXS.TO), Precision Drilling Corporation (PD.TO), Descartes Systems Group (DSG.TO) and Colliers International (CIGI.TO) ended higher by 1 to 2%.
