Today in History
On February 10, 1763, France ceded Canada to the United Kingdom under the Treaty of Paris, ending the French and Indian War in North America.

Fact of the Day
Three out of the past five global recessions have followed a Middle East geopolitical shock that led to a spike in oil prices. The Yom Kippur war of 1973, the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990 were all followed by global recessions.
