Canadian manufacturing activity slipped into contraction in October. This marked the sector’s first contraction of 2026. After struggling over 2025 in response to US tariffs, manufacturing activity has been stronger this year.

However, new US tariffs imposed in August are having an impact on manufacturing activity in tariff-impacted sectors. Meanwhile, US factories continued to expand in October. Trade tensions between the two countries remain a key factor.

The Bank of Canada (BoC) raised its policy interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.50% yesterday, which was its first increase since July 2023.

The BoC cited higher energy prices pushing up inflation, while the economy has been more resilient than expected. Canada’s central bank also said it may not be done raising interest rates. Here’s more on the BoC’s interest rate decision.

A standoff between Ottawa and Stelco's US owner, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., over layoffs in Hamilton is drawing attention to how US tariffs are affecting Canadian industry.

Canadian shoppers spent more in August, and an early estimate points to another gain in September. This was according to Canada’s retail sales report that was released by Statistics Canada (StatsCan). The data suggest household spending held up well in the third quarter, despite waning consumer confidence and fresh trade tensions with the US.

However, comments from several US officials and outside reports over the last few days indicated that Canada and the US have re-engaged in trade talks, which appear to be progressing.
