TSX Futures Dip Amid Tariff Jitters as U.S. Deadline Approaches

Canadian stock futures edged lower Friday morning as investors braced for potential fallout from the looming July 9 U.S. tariff deadline. Futures on the S&P/TSX index slipped 0.3% in premarket trading, reflecting growing unease over trade negotiations and global economic uncertainty.

Commodity markets were mixed: gold prices inched higher as a safe-haven play, while oil and copper retreated slightly on tariff concerns.

As the deadline nears, markets are expected to remain volatile, with investors closely watching for any signs of progress—or escalation—in global trade talks.
