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 slightly lower opening following a rally on
better-than-expected economic data in the previous session. On Tuesday, a survey
showed that U.S. consumer confidence in the economy rose in March to its highest level
since December 2000 led by optimism for finding work and a brighter assessment of
business conditions.
 Asian markets were mixed on Wednesday in a light trading session with the Japanese
Nikkei Index closing up 0.1% after retail sales edged up in February, rising for the fourth
straight month. Retail sales rose 0.1% from a year earlier as improved car and fuel sales
outweighed weaker spending on food and electrical appliances. In China, the Shanghai
Composite Index shed 0.4%, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index gained 0.2%.
 European markets are hovering around the flat line as investors digest the start of
Britain's much-anticipated Brexit proceedings. At 7.30 ET, Britain's ambassador to the
European Union (EU), Tim Barrow, has handed the official letter triggering Article 50 to
Donald Tusk, president of the European Council. This commences the country's two-
year exit process from the trading bloc.
Company Headlines
 A unit of General Motors Co (GM-N) has reached a deal with port operator Terminal
Puerto Rosario to import cars to Argentina, moving the U.S. automaker a step closer to
exporting from its nearby plant, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. General
Motors Mercosur, which includes GM's Argentina and Brazil units, said the first
automobiles, manufactured in South Korea, arrived this week. The company has a
production plant near the Rosario port complex and said its long-term goal would be to
export cars produced there through the port.
 China's Tencent Holdings Ltd has acquired a 5% stake in U.S. electric car maker Tesla
Inc (TSLA-Q) for US$1.78 billion, the latest investment by a Chinese internet company
in the potentially lucrative market for self-driving vehicles and related services. Tencent's
investment, revealed in a U.S. regulatory filing, provides Tesla with a deep-pocketed ally
as it prepares to launch its mass-market Model 3.
 BlackRock Inc (BLK-N) said it would overhaul its actively managed equities business,
cutting jobs, dropping fees and relying more on computers to pick stocks. As part of the
changes, BlackRock will rebalance or adjust investment strategies on about 11% of its
US$275 billion active stock fund business, putting a greater emphasis on technology-
driven investing approaches. The company also said it will also expand its investments
in data-mining techniques that it said can improve investment performance.

Before the Open March 29 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 slightly lower opening following a rally on better-than-expected economic data in the previous session. On Tuesday, a survey showed that U.S. consumer confidence in the economy rose in March to its highest level since December 2000 led by optimism for finding work and a brighter assessment of business conditions.  Asian markets were mixed on Wednesday in a light trading session with the Japanese Nikkei Index closing up 0.1% after retail sales edged up in February, rising for the fourth straight month. Retail sales rose 0.1% from a year earlier as improved car and fuel sales outweighed weaker spending on food and electrical appliances. In China, the Shanghai Composite Index shed 0.4%, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index gained 0.2%.  European markets are hovering around the flat line as investors digest the start of Britain's much-anticipated Brexit proceedings. At 7.30 ET, Britain's ambassador to the European Union (EU), Tim Barrow, has handed the official letter triggering Article 50 to Donald Tusk, president of the European Council. This commences the country's two- year exit process from the trading bloc. Company Headlines  A unit of General Motors Co (GM-N) has reached a deal with port operator Terminal Puerto Rosario to import cars to Argentina, moving the U.S. automaker a step closer to exporting from its nearby plant, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. General Motors Mercosur, which includes GM's Argentina and Brazil units, said the first automobiles, manufactured in South Korea, arrived this week. The company has a production plant near the Rosario port complex and said its long-term goal would be to export cars produced there through the port.  China's Tencent Holdings Ltd has acquired a 5% stake in U.S. electric car maker Tesla Inc (TSLA-Q) for US$1.78 billion, the latest investment by a Chinese internet company in the potentially lucrative market for self-driving vehicles and related services. Tencent's investment, revealed in a U.S. regulatory filing, provides Tesla with a deep-pocketed ally as it prepares to launch its mass-market Model 3.  BlackRock Inc (BLK-N) said it would overhaul its actively managed equities business, cutting jobs, dropping fees and relying more on computers to pick stocks. As part of the changes, BlackRock will rebalance or adjust investment strategies on about 11% of its US$275 billion active stock fund business, putting a greater emphasis on technology- driven investing approaches. The company also said it will also expand its investments in data-mining techniques that it said can improve investment performance.
