US Markets Closed Today and Canadian Bank Earnings Kickoff Tomorrow

US markets are closed today for the Memorial Day holiday.  Canadian markets will be open, but volumes are expected to be lower than average.  Tuesday, Canadian banks will begin reporting earnings starting with the Bank of Montreal.  Thursday will be the big day, with many of the banks reporting on Thursday. 

Microsoft has a new operating system currently in beta test phase.  Windows 7 is slated to replace Windows Vista. 

Futures this morning are flat, reflective of the US market close.  The market bias indicators are showing some statistical bias for a bounce and the market bias indicators are showing virtually even numbers between momentum sell and momentum buy numbers, indicating we remain in a bottoming market condition with a sideways bias.
