• USD/CAD slipped to hit five month low on Friday as U.S. dollar weakened driven by mounting fears of a recession and elevated inflation.
• Earlier this week, Trump granted a 90-day tariff pause for several countries, briefly calming markets, but recession fears resurfaced as tensions with China persisted.
• Meanwhile, China raised tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% on Friday, escalating tensions in the ongoing trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies.
• On the data front, U.S. producer prices unexpectedly dropped by 0.4% in March, though rising import tariffs are likely to push inflation higher in the months ahead.
