<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

Look for relatively quiet North American equity markets this week<\/b>. Traders are partially on holidays after returning from the Labor Day holiday weekend. Corporate news is quiet prior to release of third quarter results starting in the second week in September. Economic focus is on Canadian and U.S. August employment reports to be released on Friday. Trading activity is expected to be quieter than normal prior to release of the next FOMC report on September 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Historically, North American equity markets in September have drifted slightly higher until mid-September followed by a shallow correction into mid-October. A similar pattern is followed during U.S. Presidential Election years. Look for history to repeat.<\/b><\/p>\n
