Toronto stock market looked set to start off lower; oil and gold down
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – The Toronto stock market appeared set to start off lower as traders looked ahead to U.S. earnings for reassurance that the American economy is gaining strength.
The Canadian dollar was up 0.12 of a cent to 93.96 cents US on Monday and could find even more lift from the release of Canada’s June employment data at the end of the week.
U.S. futures were down with the Dow Jones industrial futures losing 23 points to 16,953, the Nasdaq futures dropping 6.5 points to 3,909.3, while the S&P futures losing 3.25 points to 1,985.44.
Markets will be looking at corporate results with U.S. resource company Alcoa Inc. kicking off the second-quarter earnings season Tuesday. Alcoa is particularly anticipated because the company is viewed as an economic bellwether by virtue of the fact that its aluminum products are used in so many applications.
U.S. banking giant Wells Fargo posts results on Friday.
Also during the week, traders will look for hints as to the pace of future interest rate hikes from the release of the minutes Wednesday of the latest meeting of the U…

Chinese premier says economy improving but under pressure; promises market-opening reforms
– canadianbusiness.com
BEIJING, China – China’s economy improved in the latest quarter but faces “downward pressure,” and Beijing will increase the strength of targeted policy measures to shore up growth, the country’s premier said Monday.
Speaking at a news conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Premier Li Keqiang gave no indication how fast the economy might have grown in the three months ending in June after expanding by 7.4 per cent the previous quarter.
“China’s economic performance in the second quarter has been improved from that in the first quarter. However, we cannot lower our guard against downward pressure,” Li said.
Manufacturing grew in June at its strongest pace this year, but the expansion was weaker than normal.
Chinese leaders are trying to guide the economy toward self-sustaining growth based on domestic consumption, rather than exports and investment. Those plans have been complicated by weakness in exports, which support millions of jobs…
