Top Day Market News
September crude oil comes off the board today. The highlight other than that should eb the release of the FOMC minutes. Yesterday, the grind higher in equities continued as the economy looks to continue to expand without much in the way of wage or price inflation. The dollar is at a 9 month high while the Canadian dollar otherwise known as the Loonie is hovering at 5 year lows. The corn harvest is said to be fantastic as the mild August weather has failed to stress the crop.
