•Dollar firmed after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone on further easing overnight.

•  The price of oil  was up 1.9% as U.S. crude inventory data added to a sense in the market of tightening supplies. Oil is one of Canada's major exports.

• Canada’s factory sales slipped 1.5% in August versus July, driven by declines in transportation equipment and food products, early estimates indicated.
