After reaching record highs in the previous session, Canada’s main stock index continued its upward momentum on Friday, supported by rising gold prices as worries increased over a possible conflict between the United States and Iran.
US markets also gained after the Supreme Court overturned President Donald Trump’s broad tariff measures, easing investor concerns following weaker-than-anticipated economic data earlier in the day. The nation’s highest court ruled against Trump’s use of global tariffs that were implemented under a federal statute intended for national emergency situations. In reaction, Trump announced he will impose a 10 per cent global tariff on top of the levies already in place.
