MID-DAY: Tech sector drop weights North American markets further

James Bowler
By James Bowler

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 price of crude is also falling as investors worry over the growth of supply and drop in demand. US crude is falling to 54.75 a barrel.

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

Northwest Territories
While Indigenous leaders across the territory, including Chief Mackenzie, say they are “hopeful” about what major projects like the Mackenzie Highway could mean for the North and Indigenous communities, they are also “cautious.” “That's why we invite development, we know the world is never the same, the North most likely will never be the same.
