As exports to the U.S. increase, Canada's trade deficit narrowed in July.
Jin10 data reported on September 4, that Canada's trade deficit narrowed in July due to an overall rise in exports, particularly driven by crude oil and passenger car exports to the United States. The data shows that Canada’s merchandise trade deficit in July was CAD 4.94 billion, down from CAD 5.98 billion the previous month, but still far higher than the same period last year. This marks the sixth consecutive month of trade deficits since Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, although it has improved compared to the record CAD 7.6 billion deficit in April. After the trade data was released, the Canadian dollar fell 0.2% against the US dollar. The yield on Canada’s two-year bonds dropped by 0.1 basis point to 2.61%.
