Markets slid after Trump threatened 100% tariffs<\/a> on US$2.4 billion worth of goods against France. This came right after he slapped steel and aluminum tariffs of Brazil and Argentina. Meanwhile, tariffs stand at the centre of U.S.-China trade negotiations, and the North American trade deal with Canada still needs to become official.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, all New York indices plunged well over 1% with the Down sinking 1.45%. By threatening France, Trump is really confronting the EU. The EU immediately vowed to retaliate, stung by actions from what it considers a long-time ally. The news overshadowed events at Alphabet<\/a> where Google<\/a> founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin stepped down to hand control of both entities to CEO Sundar Pichai. Alphabet ticked up 0.42%.<\/p>\n In Canada, the TSX fared better than New York, losing 0.53% by the Tuesday close. However, at the start of earnings season for Canadian banks, BMO<\/a> announced its deepest job<\/a> cuts in years, shedding about 5% of its workforce or 2,300 workers. BMO shares fell nearly 2% at Tuesday’s open and closed down 2.12% by the close. It does not bode well for the bank, with some suspecting disappointing earnings to come.<\/p>\n 🌐 Alphabet Inc. \/ Google<\/a> +0.42% This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by Zachary Curry including Apple (A Top Pick Nov 20\/18, Up 49%) Get Premium to receive all past top picks opinions a few hours before market open.
