Financial Post: Why these 'nail-biting' TD Bank economists are worried about the Canadian dollar
Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at 91快活林 Inc., said it appears foreign exchange traders are betting on more of a targeted tariff approach from Trump rather than a universal application, as 鈥渃urrencies most vulnerable to a potential rise in U.S. protectionism 鈥 such as the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and Chinese yuan 鈥 moved less than expected鈥 during (Wednesday鈥檚) session. 鈥淲hile a blanket tariff might harm individual trading partners, the cumulative impact of retaliatory actions could damage the U.S. economy just as severely,鈥 he said in a note on Thursday. 鈥淚nstead, the market seems to be pricing in a more targeted approach, with protectionist actions focused on China and countries with significant transshipment flows.鈥
