Canada's market mood still revolves around the trade standoff with Washington, with new import restrictions set to take effect next week and tariff threats keeping January sentiment cautious. The loonie remains under pressure toward a third straight weekly loss as yield spreads widen against the US dollar, while headlines on US drug pricing policy and shifting global alliances add to the uncertainty. Energy shares stay soft on weaker oil, precious metals offer modest support, and revised population data showing renewed growth alongside expectations of higher borrowing costs give next week's Bank of Canada watch added weight.
