Another day and more Brexit polls released. This time we have 2 that favour the "Stay" camp and one that favours the "Leave" camp. The pound continues this week's gains, reaching a seven week high versus the US dollar. With only a few days left before the vote, traders are placing their bets on the Brexit results, and it looks like the play is "Stay". Fed Chairman Yellen has just wrapped up her comments and overall they were seen as more dovish on future interest rate hikes. She raised concerns that forces holding down growth and interest rates may be long lasting. Currently, the TSX is down 0.28% while the Dow is up .10%. EURCAD is down 0.27% trading between 1.4411 and 1.4517. GBPCAD is up .16% trading between 1.8729 and 1.8880. JPYCAD is down .59% trading between 0.01221 and 0.01235.
