Royal Bank shares saw a gain of a dollar helping to bolster the financial markets. That’s ahead of Canadian bank earnings later this week.

Oil hurt the energy sector losing 11 cents late in the day at $72.05 a barrel.

Gold didn’t really do much today, up only 0.40 to $1,291 an ounce.

Medical marijuana stocks are still riding a high with Canopy Growth up over $39 a share gaining $3 in a late day finish.

The Dow is down 179 points and the Nasdaq is also down 15 points.
