The S&P 500 nudged higher as U.S. equity markets fought to maintain the momentum from a record-breaking rally in tech shares. The euro gained for a fourth day. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index gave up its advance as the euro strengthened again and after disappointing data on euro-area exports and German factory orders. The common currency rose amid talk of an end to the European Central Bank's quantitative easing program. Earlier, shares rose from Tokyo to Sydney in the wake of another record finish for the Nasdaq, but gains in the gauge stalled on Thursday. The dollar slipped, while the Turkish lira jumped after the central bank raised interest rates by more than expected. Currently, the TSX is up 0.15% while the DOW is up 0.43%. EURCAD is up 0.19% trading between 1.5247 and 1.5338. GBPCAD is down 0.10% trading between 1.7325 and 1.7445. JPYCAD is up 0.44% trading between 0.01174 and 0.01179.
