The U.S. current account deficit widened to $310.9 billion in Q3, exceeding the estimated $284 billion. Housing starts fell 1.8% in November to an annualized 1.289 million units from 1.312 million in October.

Oil Hits $70 In Supply Cut Hope, Dollar Gains, Asia And Europe Markets Mixed - Global Markets Today While US Slept

President-elect Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau&#8216;s meeting last week about planned tariffs on Canada was said to be productive, but it could put several Canadian sectors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42212364/trumps-tariff-threat-to-canada-may-disrupt-oil-markets-inflate-prices-would-likely-raise-the-price-of-fuels-says-analyst">on high alert.</a>
What Happened: Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/42252924/canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-warns-trumps-25-tariff-plan-will-hurt-americans-at-high-stakes-dinner">meet with Trump</a>, and the two political leaders ate dinner and discussed several key topics before Trump's January inauguration.
The meeting took place after Trump promised to impose 25% tariffs on Canada when he was sworn into office.
Trudeau told Trump the tariffs would hurt Canada's economy, according to sources at the dinner table, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-suggests-canada-become-51st-state-after-trudeau-said-tariff-would-kill-economy-sources">per </a>Fox News.
The tariffs are being placed on Canada and Mexico due to illegal immigrants and illegal drugs flowing from those countries to the United States.
Sources said Trump was direct regarding his conversation with Trudeau, telling the Canadian leader that his country has failed to protect the border. Trump also wants to eliminate the trade deficit with Canada, estimated to be around $100 billion, according to the sources.
"So your country can't survive unless it's ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion?" Trump reportedly said to Trudeau about the trade deficit.
The report said that if Canada can't survive with the requirements of protecting the border and fixing the trade deficit, Trump suggested that the neighboring country could become the 51st state instead.
Trudeau and others at the table nervously laughed at the suggestion, with Trump reportedly adding that the title of prime minister is better than governor. As the meeting concluded, talks between Trump and Trudeau were said to have been "very positive."

</ul>
Why It's Important: The report said Trump told Trudeau he expected changes to be made ahead of his January inauguration, or the tariffs would be placed on Canada on his first day in office.
A tariff on Canada could impact several sectors, including some of the top exporters to the United States. Crude oil, petroleum gas, vehicles, car parts, machinery, turbines, plastics, pharmaceuticals, metals and agricultural products are among the top exported items from Canada to America, as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/26/what-us-imports-canada-mexico-china-trump-tariffs/">reported </a>by the Washington Post.
Large Canadian oil companies Suncor Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SU#NYSE">SU</a>), Enbridge (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENB#NYSE">ENB</a>), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) and TC Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRP#NYSE">TRP</a>) could face significant impacts from the tariffs and a potential blow to the sector.
Railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and trucking companies Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ODFL#NASDAQ">ODFL</a>) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KNX#NYSE">KNX</a>) could also be impacted by the tariffs and the negative impact on trade between the United States and Canada.
Canadian ETFs like the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWC#NYSE">EWC</a>), JPMorgan BetaBuilders Canada ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBCA#BATS">BBCA</a>), Franklin FTSE Canada ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLCA#NYSE">FLCA</a>) and Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>) could also be impacted by the potential trade war.
Canada is the second-largest trade partner with the United States, with $418 billion in goods imported from Canada in 2023 and $354 billion in goods exported to the country.
Goldman Sachs economists predict that Canada's gross domestic product<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42291861/trumps-tariff-plan-risks-economic-pain-for-north-america-goldman-sachs-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> could decline</a> by as much as 4% if Trump&#8217;s 25% tariff plan is enacted. The plan could also hurt the U.S. GDP, the analysis said.
"A large increase in tariffs on North American imports would entail significant economic costs, particularly for Canada and Mexico," Goldman Sachs economists said.

Canadian Dollar Continues Its Tepid Stance On Friday

캐나다는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자의 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">캐나다산 수입품</a>에 대한 고율 관세 부과 위협에 대응하기 위해 미국 상품에 대한 보복 관세를 준비하기 시작했다.
한 고위 캐나다 정부 관계자는 수요일  <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-trump-tariffs-trudeau-c741393c2f7c7545e9714839cfbbda45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AP</a> 뉴스에 &#8220;트럼프가 25% 관세를 실제로 시행할 경우 특정 미국 상품을 겨냥한 논의가 진행 중&#8221;이라고 밝혔지만, 최종 결정은 아직 내려지지 않았다고 전했다.
이러한 움직임은 트럼프가 무역에 대한 강경한 입장을 재확인하며 북쪽과 남쪽 국경을 넘는 마약과 이민자 흐름에 대한 처벌적 관세를 요구하는 상황에서 발생했다.
캐나다는 2018년에도 비슷한 상황을 겪었으며, 당시 캐나다는 미국산 철강과 알루미늄에 대한 관세 인상에 대응하여 수십억 달러의 보복 관세를 부과했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">캐나다 달러 추가 하락 예상</h3>
월스트리트 분석가들은 관세 위협이 현실화될 경우 Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>)가 추적하는 캐나다 달러가 추가 하락할 것으로 예상하고 있다.
BMO 이코노믹스의 수석 이코노미스트인 로버트 카브치치(Robert Kavcic)는 캐나다가 &#8220;작고 개방된 경제&#8221;로서 미국 무역에 크게 의존하고 있어 취약하다고 강조했다.
&#8220;미국 시장은 캐나다 상품 수출의 약 75%를 차지하며, 이는 전체 캐나다 GDP의 약 25%를 구성한다&#8221;고 카브치치가 메모에 작성했다.
&#8220;일반적으로 캐나다 달러는 가장 크고 즉각적인 시장 영향을 받을 것이며, 최근 몇 달 동안의 약세가 계속될 것이다. 이러한 경우, 달러 대비 환율이 1.41 이상에서 추가 하락할 여지가 있다.&#8221;
스코샤 은행의 수석 외환 전략가인 숀 오스본(Shaun Osborne)은 캐나다 정부가 새로 들어설 행정부의 우려를 신속하게 해결할 수 있을지에 대해 회의적이라고 표현했다.
오스본은 트럼프가 새롭게 임명한 &#8220;국경 강제 집행관&#8221;인 톰 호먼(Tom Homan)이 이미 북쪽 국경을 &#8220;극단적인 국가 안보 문제&#8221;로 간주했다고 언급하며, 이는 협상을 복잡하게 만들 수 있다고 설명했다.
&#8220;캐나다 정부가 신속하게 새 행정부를 만족시키는 대응을 마련하지 못한다면, 추가적인 CAD 손실은 불가피해 보인다. 그건 쉽지 않을 수 있다&#8221;고 오스본이 경고했다.
그는 계속해서 &#8220;25% 관세의 위험은 현재로서는 그런 위험일 뿐이지만, 위협이 오래 지속되고 취임식에 가까워질수록 CAD의 가치가 더 약해질 수 있다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
미국 인구 조사국 자료에 따르면, 2023년 미국의 캐나다산 수입은 4,810억 달러에 달했으며, 같은 기간 캐나다의 미국산 수입은 3,540억 달러에 달했다.
상품 측면에서 캐나다의 미국 수출 1위 품목은 원유 및 기타 연료로 약 1,200억 달러였고, 그 다음이 차량으로 580억 달러였다.

대통령 당선자 도널드 트럼프의 최근 관세 제안은 잠재적으로 경제적 지진을 일으킬 수 있으며, 경제학자들은 무역 흐름, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs/24/11/42190765/trumps-tariff-threats-slam-mexican-peso-canadian-dollar-only-the-beginning-of-a-sorely-needed-repricing-expert-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">환율 및 소비자 가격</a>에 대한 중대한 여파를 이미 예측하고 있다.
월요일, 트럼프는 멕시코와 캐나다에서 들어오는 모든 수입품에 25% 관세를 부과할 계획을 발표하며, 이들 국가가 마약 밀매와 불법 이민을 억제하지 못했다고 비난했다. 추가적으로, 그는 중국에 대한 관세를 10% 인상할 것도 약속했다.
멕시코, 캐나다 및 중국은 총 43%의 미국 상품 수입을 차지하며, 각각 15.4%, 13.6%, 13.9%를 차지한다고 골드만삭스가 발표했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">골드만삭스: 관세가 글로벌 시장을 흔들 수 있다</h3>
골드만삭스의 분석가들은 트럼프의 관세 발언이 미치는 광범위한 경제적 함의를 신속하게 평가했다.
이사벨라 로젠버그(Isabella Rosenberg), 골드만삭스의 외환 분석가는 멕시코와 캐나다 수입품에 대한 25%의 관세 제안이 캐나다 달러와 멕시코 페소 모두에 중대한 경제적 충격을 나타낼 것이라고 말했다.
&#8220;관세가 25%로 상승한다면, USD/CAD와 USD/MXN에 대한 예상 영향은 각각 약 13%와 17%가 될 것이다&#8221;고 그녀가 화요일 고객에게 보낸 메모에서 말했다.
화요일, 멕시코 페소는 1.9% 하락했으며, Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXC#NYSE">FXC</a>)가 추적하는 캐나다 달러는 0.6% 하락했다.
트럼프가 제안한 수준의 관세는 공급망을 방해하고 비용을 증가시킬 것이라고 로젠버그가 말했다.
그녀는 미국-멕시코-캐나다 협정(USMCA)의 재협상이 내년에 이루어질 것으로 예상한다고 언급했다.
&#8220;USMCA는 2026년에 검토 및 갱신될 예정이며, 이는 협정의 일부 측면을 재협상하는 것을 포함할 가능성이 높아 보인다&#8221;고 그녀가 썼다. 이러한 불확실성은 2025년까지 캐나다 달러를 압박할 것이라고 그녀가 보았다.
조셉 브릭스(Joseph Briggs), 골드만의 경제학자는 &#8220;우리는 새로운 트럼프 행정부가 중국 및 유럽과 멕시코에서의 자동차 수입에 대한 관세를 인수 후 즉시 인상할 것으로 예상한다&#8221;고 말했다.
브릭스는 관세가 시행되기 전에도 경제 지표에 영향을 미칠 것이며, 정책 불확실성이 높아지고 통화 시장에 파급 효과가 생길 것이라고 덧붙였다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">$3,000억 달러의 정부 수입, 그러나 높은 인플레이션의 대가</h3>
관세가 완전히 시행될 경우, 연간 미 정부에 약 3,000억 달러의 수입이 발생할 것으로 골드만의 계산에 따르면 나타났다. 이는 GDP의 약 1%에 해당한다.
하지만 관세의 직접적인 효과는 국경 분쟁에 그치지 않고, 일상적인 미국인들의 지갑에도 영향을 미친다.
골드만삭스는 미국의 실질 관세율이 8.6% 상승하여 핵심 개인 소비 지출(PCE) 가격이 0.9% 상승할 것이라고 추정했다.
맥락적으로, 이러한 인플레이션적 영향은 트럼프의 첫 임기 동안 중국 및 자동차 수입을 겨냥한 이전 관세의 효과보다 세 배 더 크다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">결론: 무역 긴장의 귀환</h3>
트럼프의 최근 무역 발언은 글로벌 시장에 상당한 긴장을 재도입하며, 그의 첫 임기 동안의 관세 전쟁과 비교되고 있다.
멕시코와 캐나다에 대한 잠재적인 25% 관세는 경제학자와 투자자들이 인플레이션, 환율 변동성, 공급망 혼란 및 소비자 고통 등 광범위한 효과를 대비하도록 하고 있다.
트럼프의 강경한 전술은 종종 협상 전략으로 작용하지만, 이 제안의 규모는 그 여파가 1월 20일 이전에도 느껴질 것임을 보장한다.
