On Saturday, US President Trump announced an additional 10 per cent tariff on Canadian imports because of an anti-tariff ad run by Ontario Premier Doug Ford in the US, which has since been taken off air. The measure is in addition to a 35 per cent tariff on non-CUSMA-compliant goods and 25-50 per cent tariffs on specific sectors including copper, lumber and automobiles.

Despite gold’s recent pullback, top global gold producer Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX/NYSE:AEM) is still finding prospective investment opportunities, recently allocating $180 million to pick up a 6.5 per cent stake in Perpetua Resources (TSX:PPTA), whose Stibnite gold project in Idaho houses an estimated 4.8 million ounces in reserves and 2.4 million ounces at the resource level.
