  Canadian Money Brief | Feature CUSMA Wasn't Renewed: The 10-Year Clock Now Running on Your Job, Prices and Savings By MoneySavings.ca | Published November 2, 2026 Quick quiz: is Canada's free trade deal with the United States still in place? The honest answer is yes and no. The agreement known here as CUSMA is still in force, but since July 1 it has been on a different footing, and the way it plays out over the next decade matters to your paycheque, your grocery bill and your savings. Most of us missed the moment because nothing visibly changed that day. That is exactly why it deserves a closer look, especially with the federal budget arriving Thursday.

Market Rebound: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Rise After Sharp Sell-Off

After a turbulent trading session, U.S. stock futures are showing signs of recovery on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite futures all climbed, attempting to regain ground lost during Monday’s sharp decline.

The market downturn was largely driven by renewed tensions between President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump’s criticism of Powell’s monetary policy decisions added uncertainty to investor sentiment, leading to a widespread sell-off. However, futures rebounded as investors assessed the broader economic outlook and upcoming corporate earnings reports.

Tesla’s earnings report, scheduled for later today, is expected to be a key focus for investors. The electric vehicle giant has faced challenges with declining sales and shifting consumer demand, making its financial results particularly significant. Additionally, Verizon shares dropped in premarket trading after reporting a larger-than-expected loss in wireless subscribers, reflecting the impact of recent price hikes and competitive pressures.

Despite the volatility, analysts suggest that the market’s resilience could signal optimism among investors. As economic data continues to roll in, traders will be watching closely for signs of stability in the coming days.
