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 as investors await the release
of minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting. The minutes will be scrutinized for
any indications as to when the Fed could raise rates over the course of 2017.
 Most Asian stocks gained as Chinese equities erased earlier losses triggered by
Moody's Investors Service's rating cut of the nation's debt. The Shanghai Composite
Index closed up 0.1% after slumping as much as 1.3%, as most investors brushed off
Moody's decision to cut China's debt rating for the first time in almost three decades. In
Japan, the Nikkei Index rose 0.7%, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index added
0.1%.
 European stocks are trading modestly higher with the gains limited as mining shares fell
following the downgrade of China's debt.
Company Headlines
 Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) posted higher quarterly earnings, aided by a strong
performance from its wealth management and capital markets businesses. The bank
said earnings per share, excluding one-off items, rose to $1.92 in the second quarter
ended on April 30 from $1.73 a year earlier. Analysts on average expected $1.93,
according to Thomson Reuters. Earnings before special items jumped 72% to $272
million at the wealth management unit and increased 12% to $322 million in the capital
markets business. The bank said, however, that U.S. loan and deposit growth had
moderated, reflecting slower-than-anticipated business activity in the first quarter of the
calendar year.
 Royal Dutch Shell Plc has reportedly decided to offload a roughly $4.1 billion stake in
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd (CNQ-T) that it acquired as part of a deal to retreat
from Canada's oil sands earlier this year, people familiar with the situation told Reuters.
The energy company has been interviewing investment banks to hire a financial adviser
for the share sale. Shell and Canadian Natural declined to comment.
 General Electric (GE-N) signed a one billion riyal (US$267 million) joint venture
agreement on Wednesday with Saudi Arabia's state-backed Dussur industrial
development company to manufacture gas turbines in the eastern city of Dammam. The
agreement, announced at a press conference in Riyadh, follows an announcement by
GE during U.S. President Donald Trump's visit last weekend of US$15 billion of
business deals, including memorandums of understanding which would require further
agreements to materialize. GE and Dussur signed a memorandum of understanding last
year that is expected to result in nearly 3.75 billion riyals of investment by the two
companies across multiple sectors in 2017.

Before the Open May 24 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.

Overseas and Overnight Markets  U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a higher opening as investors await the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting. The minutes will be scrutinized for any indications as to when the Fed could raise rates over the course of 2017.  Most Asian stocks gained as Chinese equities erased earlier losses triggered by Moody's Investors Service's rating cut of the nation's debt. The Shanghai Composite Index closed up 0.1% after slumping as much as 1.3%, as most investors brushed off Moody's decision to cut China's debt rating for the first time in almost three decades. In Japan, the Nikkei Index rose 0.7%, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index added 0.1%.  European stocks are trading modestly higher with the gains limited as mining shares fell following the downgrade of China's debt. Company Headlines  Bank of Montreal (BMO-T) posted higher quarterly earnings, aided by a strong performance from its wealth management and capital markets businesses. The bank said earnings per share, excluding one-off items, rose to $1.92 in the second quarter ended on April 30 from $1.73 a year earlier. Analysts on average expected $1.93, according to Thomson Reuters. Earnings before special items jumped 72% to $272 million at the wealth management unit and increased 12% to $322 million in the capital markets business. The bank said, however, that U.S. loan and deposit growth had moderated, reflecting slower-than-anticipated business activity in the first quarter of the calendar year.  Royal Dutch Shell Plc has reportedly decided to offload a roughly $4.1 billion stake in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd (CNQ-T) that it acquired as part of a deal to retreat from Canada's oil sands earlier this year, people familiar with the situation told Reuters. The energy company has been interviewing investment banks to hire a financial adviser for the share sale. Shell and Canadian Natural declined to comment.  General Electric (GE-N) signed a one billion riyal (US$267 million) joint venture agreement on Wednesday with Saudi Arabia's state-backed Dussur industrial development company to manufacture gas turbines in the eastern city of Dammam. The agreement, announced at a press conference in Riyadh, follows an announcement by GE during U.S. President Donald Trump's visit last weekend of US$15 billion of business deals, including memorandums of understanding which would require further agreements to materialize. GE and Dussur signed a memorandum of understanding last year that is expected to result in nearly 3.75 billion riyals of investment by the two companies across multiple sectors in 2017.
