European stocks inched higher and the euro and the pound nudged lower, as markets readied for a triple-dose of excitement – an ECB meeting, a British election and testimony by the ex-FBI chief fired by Donald Trump last month. Much has been made of the 'Triple Threat Thursday' but beyond the commentary on the outside risks from those events it was hard to see any real trepidation in prices. Currently, the TSX is up 0.04% while the DOW is up 0.05%. EURCAD is down 0.58% trading between 1.5122 and 1.5220. GBPCAD is down 0.52% trading between 1.7417 and 1.7535.
