3 Days to Go: What Actually Changes at the Checkout When Canada's Retaliation Tariffs Hit Sept. 8

  Published September 5, 2026 At 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, Canada's counter-tariffs on roughly $27.6 billion worth of American imports take effect. Ottawa named six sectors when it announced the move: steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. But the actual list of taxed items — the one that determines what you pay at checkout — is narrower than those sector names suggest, and mixing the two up is the easiest way to overpay or miss out on a real deal this weekend.

US stock futures climbed Friday morning after the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation rising at a slightly slower pace than expected. The data offered investors reassurance that price pressures are easing, strengthening expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut next week.

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained about 0.5%
  • S&P 500 futures rose 0.7%
  • Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 1%

The September CPI report revealed annual inflation at 3%, just below forecasts of 3.1%. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.3%, a modest slowdown from August.

This cooler-than-expected reading comes after a delay caused by the government shutdown, making it the first major economic release in weeks. With nearly all market bets pointing to a Fed rate cut, investors are increasingly optimistic about a softer monetary policy path ahead.
