TSX, U.S. markets retract as Fed hikes rates for the first time this year
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO _ North American stock indexes were lower this afternoon after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced it was hiking interest rates for the first time this year.
The Toronto Stock Exchange’s S&P/TSX composite index was down 72.17 points at 15,313.10, shortly following the decision at 2 p.m. ET.
In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 7.54 points to 19,903.67 and the S&P 500 slipped 4.65 points to 2,267.0. The Nasdaq composite edged down 10.96 points to 5,452.87.
Wall Street had been trading sideways for most of the day as the markets awaited the announcement.
The U.S. central bank says it’s raising its key interest rate by
a quarter point to a range of 0.5 to
0.75 per cent due to strong signs of a growing economy and
expectations for higher inflation.
The Fed also signalled that there will be as many as three rate increases in 2017.
It’s the first time it has touched the rate since December 2015, when it raised it from a record low near zero set during the 2008 financial crisis…

Justice Department won’t send officers to pipeline protest
– canadianbusiness.com
BISMARCK, N.D. _ The federal government won’t send 100 federal officers to help police protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota as requested, drawing a sharp rebuke Wednesday by the county sheriff who wanted the help as well as the head of the National Sheriffs’ Association.
Sending border patrol and members of the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group might escalate, not ease, tensions between law enforcement and protesters who’ve camped on federal land for months, Justice Department spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle told The Associated Press.
A dozen North Dakota law enforcement officials implored President Barack Obama in a letter released Monday to send in-person help plus financial assistance, citing costs, fatigue and a growing fear of vigilante justice. The officers, led by Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, said they fear for the safety of themselves, area residents and protesters.
In explaining that DOJ won’t fill the request, the agency noted it offered training and technical assistance to local law officers and has worked to facilitate dialogue among law enforcement and opponents of the four-state, $3…
