The TSX is down 30 points to 15,640 although could see a boost tomorrow as TD prepares to release the final Canadian big bank quarterly report.

Oil is down slightly to 62.61 a barrel, still holding above the 60.00 benchmark.

Gold is down slightly to 1,317 and the Loonie is hitting a 2 and a half month low as it slides to 78.08 cents US.
