Significant Global Events

Trade and Tariffs:

There's a notable focus on the implications of potential tariffs, particularly those related to the United States and their effects on international trade, especially with Canada. This is creating uncertainty in global markets.
Specifically there is alot of talk of "Liberation day" and reciprocal tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration.

Geopolitical Tensions:

The situation in the Middle East, particularly the Israeli military operations in Gaza, remains a critical concern.
There are also tensions between Russia and the Ukraine continuing.
