Canadian stocks fell a fifth day, the longest streak of losses since November, as declines among retail and raw material companies offset a rebound in energy producers.

The Standard & Poor’s/TSX Composite Index dropped 7.01 points to 12,920.14 at 4 p.m. in Toronto, paring earlier losses of as much as 0.7 percent. The gauge had its worst opening day yesterday since 2005.
