Disruptions Bearish

Strait of Hormuz closure drives 33.2% gas price surge, rippling through supply chains

The Iran conflict's closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint handling 20% of global oil — sent Canadian gasoline prices up 33.2% YoY in May. With jet fuel costs also climbing, air freight and logistics operators face rising input costs that will squeeze margins through the summer. Early June data already shows a 10% price retreat as peace talks progress, but the episode exposes the fragility of energy-dependent supply chains.

SCOTUS Strikes Down IEEPA Tariffs as Trump Pivots to Section 122 Duties

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to levy broad tariffs was illegal, providing a temporary reprieve for global trade partners. However, the administration immediately countered with a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, creating fresh uncertainty for Canadian exporters and the CUSMA framework.
