Global Financial Headlines
The Canadian dollar weakened to a near 8-week low against its US counterpart as oil prices fell and investors reduced their bets on the pace of expected interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The interest rate for the most popular US home loan rose to 6.36% last week, marking the biggest weekly increase in more than a year. This comes after better-than-expected economic data caused financial markets to scale back bets on further Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. European stocks settled higher, bouncing from losses in the previous session as investors focused on upcoming interest rate cuts and a key US inflation report later this week. The continent-wide STOXX 600 index was up 0.6%, with the Automobiles and Parts sector among top gainers with a 1.1% jump.
