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 lower open as investors focused on fresh
economic data ahead of a probable interest rate hike in the U.S. this month. There are
no major corporates reporting today
 Asian stocks closed mostly higher overnight. The Shanghai Composite Index and Hong
Kong's Hang Seng Index gained 0.48% and 0.18% respectively despite China's GDP
target being cut to a 25-year low of 6.5% in 2017. The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.46% as the
yen firmed up amid escalating political tensions after North Korea fired four ballistic
missiles into the Sea of Japan.
 European markets are trading lower as weak metal prices weighed on the mining sector
and banks tumbled on Deutsche Bank plans to raise capital. The German bank unveiled
plans to raise around €8 billion through a share sale, list its asset management business
and overhaul its business structure.
Company Headlines
 Hudson’s Bay Co (HBC-T) has yet to line up equity financing for a bid for Macy’s Inc
(M-N) over a month after approaching its U.S. peer. According to sources, while
Hudson’s Bay has told potential partners it has the backing of at least one wealthy family
willing to help finance its bid for Macy’s, it has not yet found a major institutional investor
to serve as an equity partner. Macy’s is skeptical that Hudson’s Bay can raise the
necessary financing for its bid, and it is not currently engaged in any negotiations about
a possible deal.
 Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX-T) announced that following the successful closure of
the skincare products asset sale on March 3, 2017, Valeant has used the net proceeds
of the sale to pay down approximately $1.1 billion of its senior secured term loans. This
debt repayment further enhances the company's confidence in meeting its goals, and it
is taking this opportunity to refinance and amend additional portions of its outstanding
debt to further create operating flexibility.
 General Motors Co. (GM-N) said it had agreed to sell its European operations to
Peugeot SA, taking a charge of at least US$4 billion, as the U.S.’s biggest auto maker
withdraws from a region where it hasn’t made money for almost two decades.
Peugeot SA will pay €1.32 billion for GM’s Opel and Vauxhall brands, consisting of €650
million in cash and the rest in Peugeot share warrants. GM’s financial operations in
Europe will be jointly acquired by Peugeot and BNP Paribas SA for about €900 million.
As part of the deal, GM will also get warrants to buy 4.2% of Peugeot’s capital.

Before the open march 6 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 lower open as investors focused on fresh economic data ahead of a probable interest rate hike in the U.S. this month. There are no major corporates reporting today  Asian stocks closed mostly higher overnight. The Shanghai Composite Index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gained 0.48% and 0.18% respectively despite China's GDP target being cut to a 25-year low of 6.5% in 2017. The Nikkei 225 Index fell 0.46% as the yen firmed up amid escalating political tensions after North Korea fired four ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan.  European markets are trading lower as weak metal prices weighed on the mining sector and banks tumbled on Deutsche Bank plans to raise capital. The German bank unveiled plans to raise around €8 billion through a share sale, list its asset management business and overhaul its business structure. Company Headlines  Hudson’s Bay Co (HBC-T) has yet to line up equity financing for a bid for Macy’s Inc (M-N) over a month after approaching its U.S. peer. According to sources, while Hudson’s Bay has told potential partners it has the backing of at least one wealthy family willing to help finance its bid for Macy’s, it has not yet found a major institutional investor to serve as an equity partner. Macy’s is skeptical that Hudson’s Bay can raise the necessary financing for its bid, and it is not currently engaged in any negotiations about a possible deal.  Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX-T) announced that following the successful closure of the skincare products asset sale on March 3, 2017, Valeant has used the net proceeds of the sale to pay down approximately $1.1 billion of its senior secured term loans. This debt repayment further enhances the company's confidence in meeting its goals, and it is taking this opportunity to refinance and amend additional portions of its outstanding debt to further create operating flexibility.  General Motors Co. (GM-N) said it had agreed to sell its European operations to Peugeot SA, taking a charge of at least US$4 billion, as the U.S.’s biggest auto maker withdraws from a region where it hasn’t made money for almost two decades. Peugeot SA will pay €1.32 billion for GM’s Opel and Vauxhall brands, consisting of €650 million in cash and the rest in Peugeot share warrants. GM’s financial operations in Europe will be jointly acquired by Peugeot and BNP Paribas SA for about €900 million. As part of the deal, GM will also get warrants to buy 4.2% of Peugeot’s capital.
