In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 166.97 points to 24,797.78. The S&P 500 index was down 14.93 points to 2,701.33 and the Nasdaq composite index gave back 16.08 points to 7,218.23.
The Canadian dollar closed at an average trading value of 78.92 cents US, down 0.31 of a U.S. cent.
The April crude contract fell back 11 cents to US$61.68 per barrel and the April natural gas contract was up three cents at US$2…

(Photo: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty)In the summer of 2011, newly-appointed Minister of International Trade Ed Fast travelled to New York, where he met his Indian counterpart. “We congratulated each other that [an investment treaty] had been finalized,” he recalls. “All we needed was to find a date on which to sign it.”
