Canadian Market Up Marginally In Cautious Trade
(RTTNews) - Canadian stocks are swinging between gains and losses on Tuesday as investors make cautious moves, monitoring the developments on the tariff front, and reacting positively to the victory of Prime Minister Mark Carney's victory in the general election.
Investors are hopeful that Carney's commitment to firmly resist U.S. import duties with suitable countermeasures will help limit the negative impact Trump's policies might have on the Canadian economy.
The potential relief for auto parts suppliers in the event of the Trump administration easing tariffs on foreign parts in domestically manufactured cars, could augur well for the Canadian auto part makers.
