Canada's manufacturing sector contracted in October 2026 for the first time this year, driven by US-Canada tariff tensions, global supply disruptions, and rising inflationary pressures. The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI dropped below 50, indicating a decline in output and new orders alongside increased input costs.
