Canada just walked away from the table.
Carney suspended trade talks with the US and announced Canada will match US tariffs dollar-for-dollar. Washington claims Canada declined to finalize the deal.
This is trade war escalation in real time. No handshake, no compromise, just tit-for-tat tariffs.
Market implications:
• $CAD weakness likely
• Cross-border supply chains getting hit
• Inflationary pressure on both sides
• Uncertainty = risk-off
If you're long Canadian exporters, US importers, or anything tied to USMCA flows, this just became a bigger headache. Tariffs don't create winners — they create distortions, higher costs, and slower growth.
Watch $USD/$CAD, commodity prices, and any equity exposed to cross-border trade. This isn't noise. This is policy.
