The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index ended the day's session at 21,243.77 with a loss of 75.13 points or 0.35%.

Asian stocks ended mixed on Thursday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge later in the day as the data will help identify the path forward for U.S. interest rates.

European stocks are slightly higher after data showed Spanish inflation cooled sharply in February. French inflation eased as well, coming in at the weakest level since September 2021.
