  • Please accept my sincerest apologies for failing to publicly acknowledge our fallen heroes this past Memorial Day. No excuse I could offer could justify the oversight. Along with you, I salute the many men and women who have proudly and selflessly served in our military to protect, defend and secure the freedoms and liberties we enjoy each and every day. Their bravery in making the ultimate sacrifice will forever be appreciated and they will always be remembered and celebrated and never taken for granted or forgotten.

BEFORE THE BELL
Futures tracking Canada's main stock index fell as lower oil and metal prices weighed on commodity-linked shares, with the markets awaiting Bank of Canada's interest rate decision later in the week. U.S stock futures were mixed after a two-day bounce on Wall Street as investors looked ahead to another round of earnings reports, especially from megacap companies, that could put a recent market rally to test. European stocks steadied, after a slew of better-than-expected earnings reports helped offset worries about fast rising interest rates and a slowing euro zone economy. Japan’s Nikkei rose, as electric motor maker Nidec kickstarted the earnings season with strong results. Gold fell as the U.S dollar regained some ground, but bullion's losses were capped by expectations that the U.S. central bank may hit pause on its rapid rate hike trajectory.


STOCKS TO WATCH
Cronos Group Inc: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged the Canadian cannabis company and its former chief commercial officer with accounting fraud, the regulator said on Monday. Cronos and the former executive, William Hilson, offered to settle the matter, without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, by agreeing to cease and desist from future violations of the charged provisions, the SEC said. The SEC said it decided against a financial penalty for the company given "its timely self-reporting, significant cooperation, and remediation." ​
