Traders will be watching the TSX closely this week as bank earnings and details on the Federal budget will be released. Scotiabank, TD and the National Bank of Canada are all releasing their quarterly earnings reports. This follows better than expected earnings reported by RBC and CIBC last week.

Gold is up 10.00 this morning to 1,340. Oil is down slightly by 0.04 to 63.51. The Loonie is at 79.12 cents US.
