Monthly Macro & Strategy | The Fog of (Trade) War

March 5, 2025

Few policy decisions have the far-reaching consequences of trade policy.

Highlights:

  • Trade wars have historically worsened economic downturns, raising costs and disrupting global trade.
  • Despite recent challenges, Canada’s economy shows signs of recovery with positive effects from the Bank of Canada’s rate cuts.
  • We remain overweight on equities, focusing on U.S. and Canadian markets due to favourable earnings and the positive impact of deregulation.
