 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 open looking to snap the recent losing
streak that has seen the major U.S. indices post losses in five of the last six sessions.
Traders will again be watching quarterly earnings today as Travelers and Verizon report
before the opening bell while Visa and Mattel are set to report after the close. On the
data front, initial jobless claims were reported before the open and came in at 244,000
for the week ending April 15, slightly higher than consensus estimates of 240,000.
 Asian markets traded mostly sideways overnight following key earnings on Wall Street
yesterday and as oil prices came off two-week lows set earlier in the session. Investors
also had their eyes on politics in Europe and the on-going ebb and flow of tensions in the
Korean Peninsula. Tokyo's Nikkei Index finished the session with a 0.01% loss. Hong
Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 0.97% higher while Shanghai's Stock Composite Index
posted a gain 0.06%.
 European markets are mixed in afternoon trade as investors continued to digest political
uncertainties and reacted to fresh corporate earnings in the region. The pan-European
Stoxx 600 has been hovering around the flat line, last trading 0.05% higher.
Company Headlines
 Cenovus Energy Inc.’s (CVE-T) top executive Brian Ferguson reiterated his support for
a carbon tax at a recent Calgary Chamber of Commerce event, as oil companies begin
reporting how Alberta’s climate policies will impact the price per barrel of crude oil.
Ferguson did not provide a per-barrel cost estimate for how the carbon tax would affect
his company, but said he thought his company could drive down carbon tax costs with
new technology. “We’re only just starting to scratch the surface in terms of opportunities
that we have to reduce our emissions through technology,” Ferguson said.
 Regulators have accused mortgage lender Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG-T) of
misleading disclosures after the company uncovered falsified income information on
some loan applications and cut ties with dozens of brokers in 2014. At the time, the
company conducted an internal investigation and subsequently cut ties with 45 brokers.
The Ontario Securities Commission alleges Home Capital “misled” shareholders
because it knew there was fraud in its broker channel months before a public
announcement in July of 2015. The allegations come shortly after Home Capital's CEO
Martin K. Reid abruptly departed the company last month.
 New Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI-T) CEO Joe Natale told shareholders he’s
‘ready to go,’ with a new push on customer service. Only eleven hours after Natale was
released from his non-compete agreement with Telus Corp., where he served as CEO
for a little over a year after more than a decade with the telecom, he was already
addressing shareholders at Rogers’ annual general meeting at its Toronto headquarters
Wednesday morning. His next steps will be spending time in the field with cable
technicians, he said, followed by visits to retail stores and call centers to get a better
sense of the customer experience.
