India, Feb. 24 -- The Canadian market ended flat on Monday after a volatile session, as investors awaited earnings updates from major banks on Tuesday. Worries about tariffs and uncertainty about the outlook for growth weighed on sentiment.

Consumer staples and consumer discretionary stocks turned in a fine performance. Communications and materials shares were the other notable gainers in the session. Healthcare and energy stocks traded weak.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index, which tumbled to 25,020.03 in early trades, losing nearly 130 points in the process, climbed to 25,255.92 around mid afternoon, but pared most of its gains and finally ended the day's session with a small gain of 4.23 points or 0.02% at 25,151.26.
