TORONTO (Reuters) –
The main index of the Toronto Stock Exchange plunged almost 5 percent on Thursday as mounting gloom over the state of the economy and the U.S. financial sector sent investors fleeing the market in a broad rout. The financial sector was the biggest drag on the benchmark, sliding 7.74 percent. The energy and materials groups — the other two pillars that buttress the Toronto market — failed to lend support, shedding 5.03 percent and 2.47 percent, respectively.
