 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 have retraced early morning losses and are pointing to a slightly
lower open after President Donald Trump ordered missile strikes against a Syrian
airfield. The U.S. said the missile attack was in retaliation to Bashar Assad's use of
chemical weapons against his own people earlier in the week. On the data front, non-
farm, private and manufacturing payrolls all came in well below expectations although
there was a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. Wholesale trade data is set to
come out at 10:00 a.m. ET while consumer credit is due at 3:00 p.m. ET.
 Asian markets ended a choppy session mostly higher after oil prices surged more than 2
percent and the Nikkei fell to a four-month low earlier in the trading day after the U.S.
fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield. Tokyo's Nikkei Index finished the
session with a 0.36% gain. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 0.03% lower while
Shanghai's Stock Composite Index posted a gain 0.18%.
 European markets are mostly lower in afternoon trade following the U.S. military action
in the Middle East, raising concerns over an escalating conflict in the region. The pan-
European Stoxx 600 was last trading approximately 0.30% lower.
Company Headlines
 Canadian communications company Cogeco Inc (CGO-T) reported a 1.4% increase in
quarterly revenue to $586.4 million, resulting in a profit of $78.2 million compared to
$75.7 million for the same period last year. Louis Audet, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Cogeco Inc. stated that the company remains pleased with the results of
communication subsidiary Cogeco Communications Inc. (CCA-T) which operates in
the Canadian broadband services sector, especially given the competitive conditions in
the broadband market and the maturity of this industry.
 The Bank of Montreal’s (BMO-T) chief executive Bill Downe has announced his
intention to retire at the end of October, with the bank’s chief operating officer set to be
his successor. Downe, who has been at the helm of BMO for more than a decade, will
serve as CEO and work closely with his successor Darryl White until he retires on Oct.
31, which marks the end of the fiscal year, the company said in a statement.
 Intact Financial Corp (IFC-T) announced estimated catastrophe losses, net of
reinsurance, for the first quarter of 2017 of approximately $88 million on a pre-tax basis
($64 million after-tax or $0.49 per share). This year's winter conditions led to an increase
in claims in all lines of business, though severe wind events in Central and Atlantic
Canada drove most of the catastrophe losses. "The winter conditions observed this year
remind us of the importance of adapting our communities and driving habits to changing
weather patterns," said Charles Brindamour, CEO of Intact.

Before the Open April 7 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.

Overseas and Overnight Markets  U.S. stock index futures have retraced early morning losses and are pointing to a slightly lower open after President Donald Trump ordered missile strikes against a Syrian airfield. The U.S. said the missile attack was in retaliation to Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people earlier in the week. On the data front, non- farm, private and manufacturing payrolls all came in well below expectations although there was a slight decrease in the unemployment rate. Wholesale trade data is set to come out at 10:00 a.m. ET while consumer credit is due at 3:00 p.m. ET.  Asian markets ended a choppy session mostly higher after oil prices surged more than 2 percent and the Nikkei fell to a four-month low earlier in the trading day after the U.S. fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield. Tokyo's Nikkei Index finished the session with a 0.36% gain. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 0.03% lower while Shanghai's Stock Composite Index posted a gain 0.18%.  European markets are mostly lower in afternoon trade following the U.S. military action in the Middle East, raising concerns over an escalating conflict in the region. The pan- European Stoxx 600 was last trading approximately 0.30% lower. Company Headlines  Canadian communications company Cogeco Inc (CGO-T) reported a 1.4% increase in quarterly revenue to $586.4 million, resulting in a profit of $78.2 million compared to $75.7 million for the same period last year. Louis Audet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cogeco Inc. stated that the company remains pleased with the results of communication subsidiary Cogeco Communications Inc. (CCA-T) which operates in the Canadian broadband services sector, especially given the competitive conditions in the broadband market and the maturity of this industry.  The Bank of Montreal’s (BMO-T) chief executive Bill Downe has announced his intention to retire at the end of October, with the bank’s chief operating officer set to be his successor. Downe, who has been at the helm of BMO for more than a decade, will serve as CEO and work closely with his successor Darryl White until he retires on Oct. 31, which marks the end of the fiscal year, the company said in a statement.  Intact Financial Corp (IFC-T) announced estimated catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, for the first quarter of 2017 of approximately $88 million on a pre-tax basis ($64 million after-tax or $0.49 per share). This year's winter conditions led to an increase in claims in all lines of business, though severe wind events in Central and Atlantic Canada drove most of the catastrophe losses. "The winter conditions observed this year remind us of the importance of adapting our communities and driving habits to changing weather patterns," said Charles Brindamour, CEO of Intact.
