TORONTO, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index slumped to a four-month low on Friday, with resource and marijuana shares leading broad based declines as higher bond yields pressured global equity markets.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 254.89 points, or 1.61 percent, at 15,606.03, its biggest drop since May. All of the index's 10 main groups ended lower.
