On Friday, Canada's primary stock index, the S&P/TSX composite, closed with a minor decline of 11.65 points at 19,779.97, following a substantial loss of over 400 points the previous day. Concurrently, U.S. stock markets also experienced a downturn. The Dow Jones industrial average fell by 106.58 points to reach 33,963.84, while the S&P 500 index dropped by 9.94 points to stand at 4,320.06 and the Nasdaq composite declined by 12.18 points to settle at 13,211.81.

Earlier in the day, broad-based but shallow strength had helped lift Canada's main stock index modestly higher in late-morning trading. The S&P/TSX composite index was up by 54.49 points at 19,846.11 during this period.

In terms of commodities, the November crude contract was up by $0.40 at $90.03 per barrel and the November natural gas contract rose by $0.04 to reach $2.88 per mmBTU on Friday. The December gold contract increased by $6.00 to stand at $1,945.60 an ounce while the December copper contract remained unchanged at $3.70 a pound.

The Canadian dollar traded for 74.20 US cents on Friday, compared with 74.15 US cents on Thursday.

Meanwhile in Seoul, South Korea on Friday, a currency trader was seen passing by screens showing the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) and the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and South Korean won at the foreign exchange dealing room of the KEB Hana Bank headquarters.

  •            Enrich the conversation, don’t trash it.

  •           Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed. 

  •           Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically. Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user. Racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated.

  • Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases. Comments that are written in all caps and contain excessive use of symbols will be removed.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and comments containing links will be removed. Phone numbers, email addresses, links to personal or business websites, Skype/Telegram/WhatsApp etc. addresses (including links to groups) will also be removed; self-promotional material or business-related solicitations or PR (ie, contact me for signals/advice etc.), and/or any other comment that contains personal contact specifcs or advertising will be removed as well. In addition, any of the above-mentioned violations may result in suspension of your account.
  • Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
  • Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended.
