RTTNews | 10 दिनों पहले

(RTTNews) - Lower Canadian and U.S. futures and weak European markets point to a slightly negative start on Bay Street Monday morning. Firm commodity prices might help limit market's downside.

The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index traded lower for the major part of the session and closed at 27,905.49, down by 10.50 points or 0.04%.

Asian stocks rose broadly on Monday as investors reacted to ongoing Ukraine peace talks and looked ahead to upcoming Federal Reserve Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech for clues on whether the U.S. central bank will cut interest rates next month.

The major European markets are down in negative territory in cautious trades with investors awaiting the meeting between Trump and several European leaders to find a solution to end the war in Ukraine.
