Suncor Energy fell 2.6 percent to 44.35 Canadian dollars while Canadian Natural Resources declined 2.5 percent to 42.57 Canadian dollars.

Thomson Reuters surged 7.1 percent to 57.37 Canadian dollars after sources said Blackstone Group was in advanced talks to buy a majority stake in a key Thomson Reuters unit.
