Markets opened higher Tuesday, as data continued to show improving
economic conditions, in U.S. housing markets and in Canadian consumer
confidence.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's benchmark index, the S&P/TSX composite,
was up 35.69 points, or by 0.31 per cent, to 11,374.41 points in early
trading.
The price of oil fell to $66.37 U.S. a barrel on weak demand, following
Monday's close of $66.84 U.S. a barrel. Inventory figures from the
American Petroleum Institute due later Tuesday and from the U.S.
Department of Energy Wednesday are expected to be weak.
Gold fell to $991.70 U.S. an ounce after its previous close of $994.10
U.S..
The Canadian dollar was trading around 91.71 cents U.S., down from
Monday's close of 91.95 cents U.S..
Canadian consumer confidence jumped to 90.9 in September � the highest
level since April 2008 � according to the Conference Board of Canada.
The figure is up for the seventh-straight month and compares to its
late-2008 low when the index plunged to just 67.7.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was up 19.5 points, or
0.21 per cent, to 9,808.86 and the Nasdaq composite index rose 3.37
points, or 0.16 per cent, to 2,134.24.
The S&P/Case-Shiller composite index of housing prices in 20
metropolitan areas in the U.S. rose a much higher-than-expected 1.6 per
cent in July from the previous month. Market consensus was for a more
modest 0.5 per cent increase after a 1.4 per cent increase in June. The
10-city index gained 1.7 per cent in July.
"To the degree that the housing market was the culprit behind the
entire credit crunch, it is encouraging to see another monthly
improvement in the headline index. However, the U.S. housing market
still has a long way to go before fully cleansing itself," said Ian
Pollick, economics strategist for TD Securities.
Overseas markets were mixed Tuesday. The Office for National Statistics
reported Tuesday that Britain's economy shrank 0.6 per cent in the
second quarter of 2009, mainly due to improvements in the construction
industry. The figure was less than the 0.7-per-cent decline estimated
in August.
London's FTSE 100 index was up 15.05 points, or 0.29 per cent, to
5,150.65 at midday. Frankfurt's DAX was up 25.82 points, or 0.45 per
cent, to 5,710.49 and the Paris CAC gained 12.94 points, or 0.34 per
cent, to 3,812.06.
In Asia, official data in Japan released Tuesday showed consumer prices
fell 2.2 per cent in August compared with the same month a year
earlier, while core prices were down 2.4 per cent � the steepest
decline in 38 years. Tokyo's Nikkei stock average closed up 90.68
points, or 0.91 per cent, to 10,100.2. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index
closed up 424.76 points, or 2.06 per cent, to 21,013.17.
On Monday, the S&P/TSX rose 126.33 points, or 1.13 per cent, to
11,338.72. The Dow ended down 42.25 points, or 0.4 per cent, to
9,665.19 and the Nasdaq was at up 39.82 points, or 1.9 per cent, to
2,130.74.

These junk announcements are some border uranalist trying to put a upward
spin on it. All three markets I watch closed down today including the TSX,
DOW, Europe and China. But my portfolio was up which maters more.
We are due for a correction, but when?

Crank up the presses enough, and churn out enough Canadian loonies and
you soon have a weaker, more competitive dollar.
That's the same old school approach. No need to get any fancier than
that.
It has happened because Canada's monetary policies have not kept pace
with the other major world nations, including the USA. Too
conservative. What Canada needs to do is to loosen its money supply
consistent with the other nations, to fall into place among them, not
to stand out like a sore conservative thumb.
Cheers.
