Stocks declined, while Treasuries and the dollar rallied as the escalating political crisis in Italy engulfed markets. The S&P 500 Index dropped for a third session, following the biggest decline since March in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, as Italian political turmoil lead to gridlock and set the course for another election. The flight from risk began in Italy's bonds, with its 10-year yield spiking, leading the euro to slide against the dollar. That sent investors fleeing to safer assets, sending the Treasury benchmark yield below 2.9 percent and the yen rising. Currently, the TSX and the DJIA are down 0.49% and 0.59% respectively. EURCAD is down 0.15% trading between 1.4983 and 1.5110 . GBPCAD is down 0.20% trading between 1.7177 and 1.7301. JPYCAD is up 0.75% trading between 0.01187 and 0.01198. Gold is down 0.50% trading between $1,292 and $1,306USD/oz., silver is down 0.37% trading between $16.30 and $16.50USD/oz., while oil is down .72% trading between $66.31 and $67.33.
