Concerns about the U.S. economy deepened with a string of weak data points, pushing the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracker to an annualized -1.5% from +2.3%, fueling recession fears.
Adding to market jitters, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada will take effect Tuesday, March 4, 2025. While an initial 25% tariff was proposed, Lutnick indicated that Trump will finalize the exact rates on Tuesday'alongside a fresh 10% tariff on Chinese imports.
