Oil woes and Greece’s place in the eurozone
– macleans.ca
Yesterday was a jumpy day around the world, and it seems everyone is starting Tuesday off on a skittish note, too. On Monday – the second day of trading for 2015 – indexes dropped nearly everywhere, including the TSX/S&P Composite Index, which was down by more than 300 points. The drop was fuelled by a cocktail of still-falling oil prices – currently south of $50 – and a general sense of deja vu, as renewed fears of a Greek exit spook bankers and politicians alike.
Expect the same forces to prevail today, aided or abetted by a rash of new economic data from the holiday month: growth numbers are expected for the eurozone, China and Japan – none of it expected to be particularly balmy – while manufacturing data will be out for Canada and the U.S.

– canadianbusiness.com
California officials are marking the start of work on nation’s first high-speed train, which, when completed, would take travellers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than three hours. Here is a look at some of the facts about the project:
Q: How much will it cost?
A: The current price tag is listed as $68 billion, but California’s High-Speed Rail Authority says it is still cheaper than building dozens of new airport runways and highways to accommodate a state population expected to hit 46 million by 2035.
Q: Who is paying for it?
A: The state agency that oversees the project has nearly $10 billion in voter-approved bonds for rail construction and improvements to existing lines, and $3.3 billion in federal financing. Authorities are hoping for private investment in advertising and development around stations.
Q: Where will it go?
A: Construction starts in the Central Valley, a 28-mile stretch from Madera to Fresno. In future years, the rail line will stretch north to San Jose and south to Palmdale and the San Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles…
