Table of Content


US stocks extended losses on Tuesday after President Donald Trump announced more tariffs on Canada.

Trump said he would raise tariffs to 50% on steel and aluminum coming from Canada.

“This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th,” Trump said in a social media post.

As of 11 AM Eastern time, the S&P 500 was down 0.9%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite was 0.5% lower.

In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.21% from 4.22% late on Monday.

Amid stock market turmoil, Trump will meet the CEOs of America’s biggest companies later on Tuesday, as recession and inflation fears soured consumer and investor sentiment.

The president is expected to speak with around 100 CEOs at a regular meeting of the Business Roundtable in Washington, an influential group of CEOs leading major U.S. companies from Apple to JPMorgan Chase and Walmart.
