WINNIPEG, Jan. 4 (CNS Canada) – The following is a glance at the news moving markets in Canada and globally.

– Canadian gasoline prices are forecast to climb to their highest levels in four years in 2018, according to a report from GasBuddy. However, the actual prices seen at the pumps will vary from region to region, with Manitoba and Saskatchewan seeing some of the lowest levels relatively speaking.

– A massive winter storm is hitting much of the Eastern United States Seaboard and into Atlantic Canada. Record low temperatures and blizzard conditions have led to states of emergency and closures in some cases.
