An announcement of a merger or acquisition can definitely lend short-term support. |
But between Yellen and the minutes, there seemed to be a bit of confirmation that indeed that would stop at 5 percent, and the market's just readjusting that right now. |
Canada's trade balance tends to attract less attention given that it's in pretty healthy shape. But going into the (U.S.) trade balance, I imagine the market is positioned short dollars because it's forecast to widen. Risks are skewed toward a larger deficit. |

I don't think they'll refer to Katrina in terms of its direct impact on the Canadian economy, but perhaps its impact on higher oil, |
I think it was a day of market psychology taking over and looking at those crude prices, because there was nothing else to pay attention to. |
I think overnight there was another focus on the bank of Canada statement and it pushed aside the oil sell-off, as monetary policy is probably going to have a longer term role than oil. |
I understand the dilemma and the risks I'm asking you to take. I'm asking you to support me and to allow me to run this office for one year the way I can maintain morale and keep two qualified people working. I can do that and meet your budgetary requirements, ... I can never do that and keep the courthouse happy. I don't try to do that. I've not tried that for 20 years. That's going to be impossible for me to do. I don't worry about anybody but my staff nor do I come in here and complain about what somebody else is getting. If you want to pay the folks in the clerk's office $60,000, I don't care. I'm talking about one person here and trying to sustain it for one year. |
If you look at the chart, C$1.17 has been a difficult level to break for a while. |
It is understood that the highest-ranked man and woman, based on his or her four best results over a two-year period, will each earn a six-figure jackpot. |
It looks like another day of (the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar) remaining pressured as the U.S. dollar continues to lose ground across the board. |
It really got attention in Asia...as a result the dollar has pretty much sold off across the board. We can attribute this dollar/Cad movement to across-the-board dollar weakness to the Greg Ip article. |
It was a very unusual call. |
It's pretty much universally expected they'll hike 25 basis points but I think what will be more important is the actual wording of the statement where people will look for further indication of further hikes. |
Lisa was known for saying to her students and to her friends, 'Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.' And today, she's landed among the stars. She's in heaven with her Father. |
