Crude oil stocks finished 2023 down 10% for the year, the lowest year-end levels since 2020. Geopolitical turmoil and worries about the oil production levels were the primary causes.
The Saskatchewan government says its natural gas utility is to stop collecting the carbon levy as of Monday from residential customers.
The move comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempted those who use home heating oil from paying the levy, mostly benefiting residents in Atlantic Canada.
Saskatchewan asked for the exemption to cover all other forms of heating, but Ottawa denied the request. In response, the province said it would stop collecting the charge at the start of 2024.
Dustin Duncan, the minister responsible for SaskEnergy, said the due date to pay the levy to the federal government is the last day of February.
Should SaskEnergy not remit those dollars, it would be breaking federal law and executives could face fines or jail time.
Saskatchewan passed legislation that aims to shield executives from legal consequences, putting that burden on the province.
The Israeli military announced on Monday that it will begin withdrawing several thousand troops from Gaza at least temporarily, in what would be the most significant publicly announced pullback since the war began.
The military cited a growing toll on the Israeli economy following nearly three months of wartime mobilization with little end in sight to the fighting. Israel has been considering scaling back its operations, and the United States has been prodding it to do so more quickly as the death toll in Gaza continues to rise. More than 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war, according to local health authorities.
(Friday market close)Hopes that the S&P 500 index (SPX) could establish a new all-time high in 2023 faded with the old year Friday as major U.S. equity benchmarks lost ground on December's final trading day. Still, the SPX managed to post its ninth-straight winning week and finished up 24% for the year after falling more than 19% in 2022. Friday's close left the index just 0.4% below its record close of 4,796 posted on January 3, 2022.
Like other large-cap benchmarks, the S&P 500 turned in a strong year behind outsized gains in the biggest technology stocks, propelled by excitement over artificial intelligence (AI). While AI might've been the biggest theme of the year, the Federal Reserve's recent pivot toward possible interest rate trims in 2024 crushed a long rally in Treasury yields, helping interest-rate-sensitive small caps and financials participate in the late-2023 rally as well.
Optimism also stemmed from hopes the Fed can navigate a "soft landing" for the economy that avoids recession even as inflation growth continues to slow. Investors eagerly await the December Nonfarm Payrolls report scheduled January 5 for the latest read on the U.S. economic picture. Here's where the major benchmarks ended:
