The Toronto stock market saw a triple-digit loss as a higher U.S. dollar put downward pressure on commodity prices.

The S&P/TSX composite index lost 163.98 points to 11,473.06 as the greenback strengthened to a three-month high against the euro.

The higher U.S. dollar is a result of concerns over the debt loads of some European countries, causing flight to the relative safe haven of the greenback.

Strength in the U.S. dollar caused the loonie to plunge 0.87 of a cent to 93.43 cents US.

Commodities were also lower, with the price of gold down $28.80 to US$1,107.40 while the price of crude oil closed down one cent to US$72.65 a barrel.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrials lost 132.86 points to 10,308.26, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 26.86 points to 2,180.05.
