Canadian Stock Market Remains Subdued Amid Trade War Uncertainty

The Canadian stock market remained subdued on Wednesday as investors weighed positive quarterly results from National Bank of Canada against the ongoing trade war with the US.

Futures linked to the S&P/TSX index were flat after the benchmark index logged a record high in the previous session.

National Bank of Canada reported a rise in third-quarter profit, driven by a robust performance in its wealth management segment.

The TSX surged 243.51 points on Tuesday to end at 36,957.63.
