The techno-drop is causing havoc in North American markets. On Bay Street the TSX is down 123 points to 14,947 and across the border the Dow is falling 335 points to 24,682. The falls are picking up from yesterday’s losses after Apple sent the markets into a spiral following a report the company was cutting iPhone production. In an all or nothing move, the sour mood has spread to other tech stocks weighting the entire sector.
Retail numbers aren’t faring better after Target started the morning off on a sour tone coming in lower than expected and overshadowing Best Buy’s more positive earnings report.

The energy-tied Loonie is down to 75.54 cents US.
