HOW BAD WAS IT?

Trim Tabs points out that the amount of market cap lost from July 8
through July 23 of $2.3 trillion not only was the biggest dollar value
decline for any one month – let alone 12 days – but was more than the
value of the entire U.S. stock market in 1987.

CANADIAN MARKETS

The S&P/TSX Composite climbed to a one-week high as Standard & Poor’s
upgraded the Canadian dollar’s foreign-currency credit rating to AAA,
citing low inflation, fiscal and current account surpluses and
healthy" trade. The move by S&P prompted investors to buy Royal Bank
RY) and other lenders. Royal Bank rose $1.96 to $50.95 and Toronto
Dominion (TD) added 42 cents to $31.83. Telus (T) was the index’s
biggest percentage gainer, jumping $w1.30, or 21 percent, to $7.40
after forecasting more revenue in 2003 than analysts expected and
saying that a unit agreed to sell a $500 million interest in its
accounts receivable.

Nortel Networks (NT) surged 26 cents, or 19 percent, to $1.65. Today,
Nortel’s weighting in the S&P/TSX Canadian Information Technology
Sector Index will increase by about 2.89 percent, reflecting an
adjustment in the number of its shares that are freely traded.

In the gold sector, Placer Dome (PDG) rose 40 cents to $13.10 after
the miner raised its offer to buy Australia’s AurionGold by 13 percent
to $820 million.
