周五，标准普尔/多伦多证交所综合指数下跌1.6%，收于24759点，抹去了周涨幅，整体下跌0.8%，因为投资者在美国关税迫在眉睫、GDP增长乏力和通胀担忧的情况下保持谨慎。特朗普总统最近宣布对外国制造的汽车征收25%的关税，加剧了人们对贸易紧张局势升级的担忧，这与卡尼总理对潜在报复措施的严厉警告相辅相成。与此同时，初步数据显示，加拿大2月份GDP停滞不前，加剧了人们对更广泛经济放缓的担忧。在美国方面，长期通胀预期飙升至1993年以来的最高水平，而2月份核心个人消费支出增长了2.8%，迫使美联储维持更高的借贷成本。九个主要行业中有八个出现亏损，Shopify以5.7%的跌幅领先，而布鲁克菲尔德和加拿大太平洋铁路分别下跌了4.2%和3.1%。
The S&P/TSX Composite Index dropped 1.6% to close at 24,759 on Friday, wiping out weekly gains to register an overall 0.8% decline, as investors remained cautious amid looming US tariffs, tepid GDP growth, and inflation worries. President Trump’s recent announcement of a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars has exacerbated fears over escalating trade tensions, compounding with Prime Minister Carney’s stark warning of potential retaliatory measures. Meanwhile, preliminary data indicating that Canadian GDP stagnated in February has intensified apprehensions about a broader economic slowdown. On the U.S. front, long-term inflation expectations soared to their highest level since 1993, while the core PCE rose by 2.8% in February—pressuring the Federal Reserve to sustain higher borrowing costs. Eight out of nine major industries traded in the red, with Shopify leading the decline with a 5.7% drop, while Brookfield and Canadian Pacific Railway fell by 4.2% and 3.1%, respectively.
