Key Event Calendar:

The U.S. dollar headed for its worst start to a year since 2008 on Tuesday while world stock losses, already the biggest in six weeks, grew after widespread protests against President Donald Trump's stringent curbs on travel to the United States. Investors' hopes for a fiscal boost to the world's largest economy under Trump have been tempered by controversial and protectionist policies that have seen him suspend travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. Thousands took to the streets of major U.S. cities to oppose the travel ban, which also halts refugee arrivals, while marches in Britain added to pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May to cancel a planned state visit by Trump. A stream of U.S. policy makers and business executives have also slammed Trump's stance. The dollar edged down against a basket of six major currencies, on track for a 1.9 per cent fall this month – its worst start to the year since the financial crisis. Currently, the TSX is down .14% and the DOW is down 0.61%. EURCAD is down 0.02% trading between 1.3995 and 1.4086. GBPCAD is down 0.62% trading between 1.6265 and 1.6410.
