Sept 15 Tariff Shift: What's Actually Changing on Canadian Goods (And What Isn't)

  Published September 12, 2026 At 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, September 15, a new round of U.S. tariff changes takes effect on Canadian goods.

It's the U.S. reshuffling which products fall under a 50% tariff that's already been in place since August 22 — adding some categories, removing others, on the same day.

Stocks Rebound After Tuesday’s Sell-Off: A Resilient Recovery

 

On Wednesday, US stocks staged a remarkable comeback, recovering from the previous day’s sell-off triggered by hotter-than-expected inflation data. Investors witnessed a swift turnaround as major indices regained their footing.

Key Highlights

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI): The blue-chip index rebounded by 0.4%, reclaiming ground after a 500-point drop—its worst performance since March 2022
  • S&P 500 (GSPC): The broader market index surged by nearly 1%, demonstrating resilience in the face of recent volatility.
  • Nasdaq Composite (IXIC): Tech stocks also participated in the recovery, climbing approximately 1.3%.

The surprise consumer inflation report had initially spooked the market, but calm is gradually settling in. Investors are now adjusting their expectations regarding interest rate cuts. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee emphasized that one inflation report should not cause undue panic, and the underlying trend still points to inflation approaching the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

Lyft (LYFT), the ride-hailing giant, experienced a wild ride of its own. After an initial 67% surge following a financial update, the stock corrected an error in its statement, ultimately closing up a more modest 35% during Wednesday’s trading session.

As the market recalibrates, investors are closely monitoring economic indicators and central bank policies. The path forward remains uncertain, but the resilience displayed by stocks in the face of adversity is a testament to their enduring appeal.
