More on the way, but first, a word from Guy at Finimize HQ.

China and Canada agreed to lower trade barriers.

But instead of a catch-free romance, it's a rebound of convenience while they work through their issues with the U.S.

China will cut tariffs on Canadian canola to about 15% from more than 80%.

In return, Canada will slash duties on up to 49,000 Chinese-made EVs to roughly 6% from 100%.

Plus, both countries will roll out policies on energy, clean tech, and visa-free travel.

The two have sparred over trade for years, but it's clear why each country is easing off now.

Canada wants to rely less on the U.S., and China needs new customers as global trade rules tighten.

Canada will need more than this agreement to make a dent in its trade with the U.S.

See, the country only did around $80 billion worth of trade with China last year.

That's tiny next to the nearly $1 trillion in shipments it swapped with the U.S.

In fact, the States single-handedly buys around three-quarters of Canadian exports.

That's why Canada's combining trade talks with big bets on infrastructure.

Think ports, pipelines, energy grids, to get more goods over to Asian buyers.

But it's far from a quick fix.

These things take years to build, swallow plenty of cash, and often hit political blockers.

trade deals are increasingly becoming about more than just trade look at the u.s taiwan chip deal for one taiwan got some tariff relief but only by agreeing to pour hundreds of billions into factories on american soil now canada's handshake with china doesn't feature that kind of headline investment but it does reflect the same shift toward overall trust and strategic alignment

For investors, these kinds of deals reduce political risk and make supply chains more resilient.
