1026 ET - U.S. and Canadian officials are in talks to either delay or scrap Trump administration plans to impose 50% tariffs on certain Canadian imports. The result of those talks will influence price growth and affect near-term inflation data, says Canadian research firm Signal49. The new 50% duty is set to kick in on Wednesday, failing a deal. Should no pact emerge, "consumer prices in Canada could be pulled in many directions," Signal49 says, citing the possibility of retaliatory tariffs from Ottawa. Signal49 says weaker domestic demand, stemming from job losses, could pull prices down, while a weaker C$ could elevate the cost of Canada's imports.
