The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Initial encouraging technical signs of an intermediate low by U.S. and Canadian equity markets appeared last week. <\/b>They appeared at a time when seasonal influences historically have turned positive for a significant upside move between now and at least yearend. <\/p>\n

Response to the U.S. August PCE Price Index released at 8:30 AM EDT on Friday<\/b> was mixed.<\/b> The Index slipped to 6.2% from 6.3% in July, but was higher than consensus at 6.0%. Excluding food and energy, the Index was in line with consensus at 4.7%. <\/p>\n

The VIX Index has started to roll over from an intermediate peak, an encouraging sign for U.S. equity market indices<\/b><\/p>\n
