In Canadian company news, BMO Financial Group (BMO.TO) said that its subsidiary, BMO Harris Bank N.A. intends to pursue all available legal options including appealing the jury verdict and award in a lawsuit related to a Ponzi scheme carried out by Thomas J. Petters and certain affiliated individuals and entities that operated a deposit account at a predecessor bank, M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank.

Canopy Growth Corp. (WEED.TO) reported that its second quarter net loss attributable to Canopy Growth widened to C$221.8 million from a loss of C$11.1 million, prior year. Loss per share was C$0.47 compared to a loss of C$0.03.

Asian stocks turned in a mixed performance on Wednesday as investors fretted about a surge in new infections in some Chinese cities and monitored the U.S mid-term election results. Thursday's U.S. CPI data also remained on investors' radar.
