The S&P/TSX Composite Index experienced a 0.7% decline, closing at 25,161 on Wednesday and ending a two-day upward trend. This downturn was influenced by renewed tariff concerns and diminishing momentum in the technology sector, which unsettled the markets. The White House announced that President Trump is set to introduce new auto tariffs later today, a decision that contributes to a wider array of trade actions anticipated next week, thereby heightening fears of sustained economic instability. Significant losses were recorded for major tech companies across North America. Canada's Shopify fell by 5.2%, Constellation Software by 1.2%, CGI by 1%, and Celestica, performing the worst for the day, dropped by 9.9%. Additionally, significant financial institutions overturned early session gains to end the day with notable declines.
