Q: According to your weekly review received Saturday the Canadian dollar was 73.96 and the TSX ended the week up 1.6%
However according to Saturday’s Globe and Mail the Canadian dollar was 73.57 and the TSX closed at 21,984 or up .3% for the week.
In the future it may be better to postpone your weekly market view until the next market day as obviously there must have been a drop in markets during the closing hours.

5i Research Answer:

We post our 5 from 5i blogs every Friday around middle of the day. As we post mid-day Friday, the weekly results will be slightly different from the final closing prices, however, there is usually not much trading activity on Friday afternoons. 

We have typically posted on Friday's as we find most investors are still engaged about the markets by Friday, however, on the weekend, investors tend to spend time with family, engage in other activities, etc. However, we will take the change into consideration, but we cannot promise any changes.
