Traders look to latest reading on economy after jobs shock, earnings reports
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Traders will likely be cautious this week as investors try to decide if a huge miss on job creation expectations last month indicates the U.S. economy has run into a rough patch.
Also, the fourth quarter earnings reporting season kicks into gear and investors will take in reports from major financial institutions and other market bellwethers, including General Electric and chip giant Intel.
There was a big surprise on markets at the end of the week when data showed the U.S. economy cranked out only 74,000 jobs as opposed to the 200,000 that economists had forecast.
Traders struggled to find a concrete reason for the huge miss as expectations had ratcheted higher in the wake of a steady stream of recent positive economic data.
“All of the recent data has been so good that everyone thought that this was a slam dunk,” said Wes Mills, chief investment officer at Scotia Asset Management.
“And so this is going to raise doubts across the board and clearly sentiment is going to take a hit on this…

Calgary seismic firm alleges intellectual property rights to data violated
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – A Calgary-based seismic company claims its business is being undercut by regulatory agencies that have been publicly disclosing data it says it spent hundreds of millions of dollars to collect in Canada’s offshore.
Geophysical Service Inc. makes — or rather made — its money by mapping the earth’s layers beneath the ocean floor using sonogram-like technology, amassing a trove of valuable information that it would sell to oil and gas companies hunting for their next big find.
In a bevy of lawsuits, GSI says would-be customers have been getting hold of that data for free after files it submitted as part of the regulatory process — a required step in obtaining a permit to do the mapping — were improperly released.
GSI claims its intellectual property rights have been violated and its assets have been expropriated without compensation, rendering its data all but worthless.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
In its heyday, GSI was a 250-person operation that had a hand in some of Atlantic Canada’s biggest offshore oil and gas discoveries…
