Today is Black Friday in the U.S.; the day after Thanksgiving and the official start to the Christmas shopping season which traditionally marked the first day that retailers’ business turned into the black, i.e. profitable. The U.S. market will be open for trading but is closing early at 1:00pm. We can expect another low volume day as many market participants have taken a four day weekend. There will be no major economic releases in the U.S. or Canada until next week, and corporate news is likely to be minimal as well.The TSX is currently in the negative unable to hold thru 13,000 and US markets are all lower too. The Dow down over 1/2 %. the Canadian dollar is trading at about 98 cents.
