AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Canada-U.S. Trade Tensions: Loblaw says it’s reinstating a “T” label for tariff-affected U.S.-sourced products and will keep pushing more Canadian sourcing to limit shelf-price pressure. Rates & Mortgages: Farm Credit Canada warns higher U.S. bond yields tied to inflation and debt risk could lift long-term borrowing costs in Canada, with knock-on effects for fixed mortgage rates and business financing. Labour Market Watch: Statistics Canada reports Canada lost about 41,700 jobs in August and the unemployment rate held at 6.4%, with analysts pointing to trade-exposed sectors as a key risk as counter-tariffs near. Tariffs Hit Consumers: Ottawa extended the federal fuel-tax suspension to Jan. 31, 2027 to soften pump costs, but counter-tariffs due Sept. 8 are expected to add upward pressure to grocery bills. Regional Business Support: Ottawa announced $11.6M for eight Saskatoon firms to help them respond to tariffs, improve productivity, and diversify markets. Market Pulse: Gold rebounded after a sharp selloff tied to a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report, as investors brace for next week’s inflation data. Rail Manufacturing Boost: Carney unveiled a $4.7B VIA Rail passenger-car deal, with work split between Alstom facilities in Thunder Bay and La Pocatière. Corporate Moves: Mulvihill ETFs declared monthly distributions, while Star Bulk advanced with an Euronext Athens parallel listing and equity offering plans.
