Overseas/Overnight Markets
 U.S. stock index futures fell, taking a cue from European and Asian
markets, as worries over global growth prospects and the outcome of
Greece’s private-sector bond swap later this week weigh on sentiment.
There is no U.S. economic data on the docket today.
 European stocks dropped, with banks and resource stocks among the
`largest detractors. A report released this morning showed a 0.3% Q/Q
contraction in the euro-area economy in Q4, confirming an initial estimate
published on February 15. Large declines in investment, exports and
consumer spending were to blame for the overall GDP contraction. Also
weighing on investors was a memo from the Institute of International
Finance that warned that a disorderly default would cause the euro zone
more than 1 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion) in damage, Reuters reported. The
report also stated that a default would likely force Italy and Spain to seek
aid to prevent being engulfed in the region’s debt crisis.
 Private investors that have declared their participation in Greece’s debt
restructuring hold about 20% of the bonds involved in a swap, the creditors’
stering committee said yesterday. The goal of the swap, which runs
through March 8, is to reduce the amount of privately-held Greek debt by
53.5% and help secure Greece’s second rescue package.
 Asian stocks fell sharply, with miners among the top declines, following
global markets lower on growth concerns. The Hang Seng shed 2.2%,
while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.4%. Japan’s Nikkei gave up a more
modest 0.6%.
North American Market Highlights & Headlines
 Aecon Group Inc. (ARE-T) reported a 143% increase in quarterly earnings
on Monday as margins improved on lower costs. Aecon reported EPS of
$0.49, up from $0.20 a year ago. Revenue in the quarter was $790 million,
down from $841 million, and well shy of the $859 million consensus
estimate. Aecon's backlog stood at $2.39 billion at December 31, 2011.

Overseas and Overnight Markets
 U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a higher opening boosted by renewed optimism
over the timing of President Donald Trump’s plans for a tax overhaul, though investors
remained cautious ahead of the closely watched presidential election in France.
 Asian stock markets finished the session mostly higher, tracking Wall Street's positive
close overnight. Gains in the region were led by Tokyo's Nikkei Index which rose 1.0%
after the release of economic data showed a rise in new export orders, which helped lift
the Nikkei manufacturing purchasing manager's index. Elsewhere, Shanghai's Stock
Composite Index gained three basis points while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell
0.1%.
 European markets moved higher during early afternoon trade on Friday despite a
suspected terrorist attack in France two days before a key presidential vote. Basic
resources stocks were leading the gains after the release of better-than-expected
earnings reports in the sector.
Company Headlines
 SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (SNC-T) says it has reached an agreement to purchase British
engineering and project management consultancy WS Atkins PLC for $3.6 billion. The
deal, expected to close in the third-quarter, will enhance SNC-Lavalin’s size by boosting
annual revenues to $12.1 billion and increasing employee numbers to 53,000. SNC-
Lavalin says the transaction will increase margins and improve its position in
infrastructure, rail and transit, and nuclear. About $120 million in cost savings are
expected one year after the acquisition.
 Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG-T) and several current and former executives have
been accused by the Ontario Securities Commission on Thursday of making "material
misleading statements" to investors after the company uncovered falsified income
information on some loan applications and cut ties with dozens of brokers in 2014. The
developments raised concerns about Home Capital’s future funding prospects and its
reputation. None of the allegations have been proven and the OSC will hold a hearing on
May 4.
 Visa Inc. (V-N) reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and said it expects full-
year profit at the high-end of its forecast. The company also announced a US$5-billion
share buyback program. The company said total payments volume rose 37.2% to
US$1.73-trillion in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, on a constant dollar basis.
Excluding one-time items, Visa earned 86 cents per Class A share, beating analysts'
average estimates of 79 cents. Net operating revenue rose 23.5% to US$4.48 billion.

Before the Open April 21 2017

  • 1.  bbbsb Overseas/Overnight Markets  U.S. stock index futures fell, taking a cue from European and Asian markets, as worries over global growth prospects and the outcome of Greece’s private-sector bond swap later this week weigh on sentiment. There is no U.S. economic data on the docket today.  European stocks dropped, with banks and resource stocks among the `largest detractors. A report released this morning showed a 0.3% Q/Q contraction in the euro-area economy in Q4, confirming an initial estimate published on February 15. Large declines in investment, exports and consumer spending were to blame for the overall GDP contraction. Also weighing on investors was a memo from the Institute of International Finance that warned that a disorderly default would cause the euro zone more than 1 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion) in damage, Reuters reported. The report also stated that a default would likely force Italy and Spain to seek aid to prevent being engulfed in the region’s debt crisis.  Private investors that have declared their participation in Greece’s debt restructuring hold about 20% of the bonds involved in a swap, the creditors’ stering committee said yesterday. The goal of the swap, which runs through March 8, is to reduce the amount of privately-held Greek debt by 53.5% and help secure Greece’s second rescue package.  Asian stocks fell sharply, with miners among the top declines, following global markets lower on growth concerns. The Hang Seng shed 2.2%, while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.4%. Japan’s Nikkei gave up a more modest 0.6%. North American Market Highlights & Headlines  Aecon Group Inc. (ARE-T) reported a 143% increase in quarterly earnings on Monday as margins improved on lower costs. Aecon reported EPS of $0.49, up from $0.20 a year ago. Revenue in the quarter was $790 million, down from $841 million, and well shy of the $859 million consensus estimate. Aecon's backlog stood at $2.39 billion at December 31, 2011.

This publication is for distribution to Canadian clients only. Please refer to Appendix A of this report for important disclosure information. Overseas and Overnight Markets  U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a higher opening boosted by renewed optimism over the timing of President Donald Trump’s plans for a tax overhaul, though investors remained cautious ahead of the closely watched presidential election in France.  Asian stock markets finished the session mostly higher, tracking Wall Street's positive close overnight. Gains in the region were led by Tokyo's Nikkei Index which rose 1.0% after the release of economic data showed a rise in new export orders, which helped lift the Nikkei manufacturing purchasing manager's index. Elsewhere, Shanghai's Stock Composite Index gained three basis points while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 0.1%.  European markets moved higher during early afternoon trade on Friday despite a suspected terrorist attack in France two days before a key presidential vote. Basic resources stocks were leading the gains after the release of better-than-expected earnings reports in the sector. Company Headlines  SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. (SNC-T) says it has reached an agreement to purchase British engineering and project management consultancy WS Atkins PLC for $3.6 billion. The deal, expected to close in the third-quarter, will enhance SNC-Lavalin’s size by boosting annual revenues to $12.1 billion and increasing employee numbers to 53,000. SNC- Lavalin says the transaction will increase margins and improve its position in infrastructure, rail and transit, and nuclear. About $120 million in cost savings are expected one year after the acquisition.  Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG-T) and several current and former executives have been accused by the Ontario Securities Commission on Thursday of making "material misleading statements" to investors after the company uncovered falsified income information on some loan applications and cut ties with dozens of brokers in 2014. The developments raised concerns about Home Capital’s future funding prospects and its reputation. None of the allegations have been proven and the OSC will hold a hearing on May 4.  Visa Inc. (V-N) reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and said it expects full- year profit at the high-end of its forecast. The company also announced a US$5-billion share buyback program. The company said total payments volume rose 37.2% to US$1.73-trillion in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, on a constant dollar basis. Excluding one-time items, Visa earned 86 cents per Class A share, beating analysts' average estimates of 79 cents. Net operating revenue rose 23.5% to US$4.48 billion.
