Oh! Canada sings Southwest; AirTran rolls out crew bases at MKE; TAM climbs

North and South American shares were mixed on Tuesday (06-Apr-2010) following the lead of the wider US market. The Dow was flat, with the banking sector being one of few to rise on news the US Federal Reserve stated it still plans to maintain its record low interest rate to safeguard the country’s economic recovery. However, gains in some airline stocks were weakened by a 0.3% rise in oil prices, to USD86.84.
