TORONTO, ONTARIO and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — (Marketwire) — 03/29/12 — North American equity markets are rebounding this year after a volatile 2011. U.S. stocks are surging, with the S&P 500 Index reaching its highest close in almost four years on Monday. However, despite positive returns in Canada during the first quarter of 2012, the market is lagging behind its global peers. On the currency front, while the Canadian and U.S. dollars have, for the most part, remained at par, each faces ongoing domestic and international pressures.
