ALL: Market Focus

For more news on how President Trump's tariffs are affecting business sentiment, two economic reports, the first on US small business sentiment, and the second on Canadian purchasing manager business sentiment, should be interesting. The first, the US National Federation for Independent Business small business optimism index, is expected to fall to 98.9 in March from 100.7 in February. The second, the Canadian Ivey purchasing managers index, is expected to decline to 53.2 in March from 55.3 in February. Both indicators are expected down in response to tariffs. The NFIB report is due at 6 am ET and the Ivey report at 10 am ET.
