Market Cools as Nvidia’s Blowout Earnings Fail to Ignite Futures

  U.S. stock futures were mixed Thursday morning as investors digested Nvidia’s latest blockbuster earnings—results that impressed on paper but didn’t translate into broad market enthusiasm. Dow futures edged slightly higher, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered near the flatline, reflecting a cautious mood across Wall Street.

Canada Strikes Back: Tariffs on U.S. Vehicles Escalate Trade Tensions

 

Canada is set to impose tariffs of up to 25% on vehicles imported from the United States starting Wednesday, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing trade conflict between the two nations. The tariffs will apply to vehicles that do not comply with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) standards, as well as the non-Canadian and non-Mexican content of CUSMA-compliant vehicles.

This move comes in response to the U.S.'s recent decision to impose similar tariffs on Canadian automobiles, disrupting the longstanding economic partnership between the two countries. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described the U.S. tariffs as "unjustified" and emphasized Canada's commitment to protecting its industries and workers.

The Canadian government has also announced plans to reinvest revenue from the tariffs into relief programs for affected industries and workers. Analysts predict that Ontario, home to Canada's largest manufacturing sector, may experience economic repercussions if trade tensions persist.

As the trade war intensifies, both nations face mounting pressure to negotiate a resolution that safeguards their shared economic interests. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the future of this strained relationship.
