How are Overseas markets doing on this US market Holiday?
TORONTO - The Toronto stock market closed with a solid gain Monday as investors largely brushed aside data that indicated China's economic growth rate has slowed slightly.
The S&P/TSX composite index came within a whisker of closing above 14,000 — a level not seen since early April, 2011 — gaining 102.08 points to 13,990.29 in a strong advance across all sectors.
The Canadian dollar rose 0.21 of a cent to 91.32 cents U.S. two days before the Bank of Canada makes its next announcement on interest rates.
It was a relatively quiet session with U.S. markets closed for the Martin Luther King holiday
