Canadian economy is expected to have picked up by 0.3 percent in November, compared with the previous month's decline. Investors will incorporate the figures into their forecasts for fourth-quarter growth, which is expected to have slowed after a strong rebound in the third quarter.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index fell more than 1 percent to a nearly two-week low on Monday, with losses broad based after a travel curb ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump triggered a rethink by investors of U.S. political risk. Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures 1YMc1 were down 0.14 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures ESc1 were down 0.11 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures NQc1 were down 0.12 percent. .N
