The ECB Keeps Waiting for Clarity on US Tariffs

The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged for the first time in more than a year as it looks for clarity on the European Union's trade ties with the US. President Christine Lagarde said she and her colleagues are in a ' wait-and-see ' mode, with inflation at the 2% goal and the economy performing in line with or better than expectations. We're told that ECB policymakers pushing for another cut in interest rates face an uphill battle, and that another hold looks like the baseline for September after eight cuts since June 2024.

CFIB foresees recession in Canada, with economic contractions in Q2 and Q3

TORONTO — The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is forecasting a recession in Canada this year. A new report from CFIB shows it's forecasting that growth declined 0.8 per cent in the second quarter and will contract by a further 0.8 per cent in the third quarter. The group says an analysis of the impact of tariffs on supply chains highlights that most firms are anticipating long-term disruptions. CFIB chief economist Simon Gaudreault says the uncertain trade situation is impacting business confidence, resulting in paused or cancelled investments. Private investment is expected to fall 13 per cent in the second quarter and continue to decline by 6.9 per cent in the third quarter. Despite the anticipated downturn, CFIB highlights that inflation remains stable, putting the Bank of Canada in a better position to consider easing borrowing costs in the second half of the year.
