In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down a whirlwind week of headlines that continue to move markets. We start with the latest from the Trump administration, where the president announced plans to reduce the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods—though no specifics were given and he made it clear the rate won’t be going to zero. Markets also reacted sharply to speculation that Trump might replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, only for him to later walk back those comments, stating Powell would remain in his role until the end of his term. 

We then dive into Tesla’s earnings, where the company posted a 9% year-over-year revenue decline and a 40% drop in EPS, with falling deliveries and razor-thin margins putting pressure on the stock—despite a surprising post-earnings rally. 

We also cover American Express, which delivered solid numbers driven by younger cardholders, and remains resilient thanks to its premium card base and growing fee revenue. Over at BlackRock, inflows hit $84 billion for the quarter. Finally, we take a look at West Fraser Timber’s results amid increasing trade uncertainty, highlighting the company’s strong balance sheet and the challenges ahead for Canadian wood product exporters.

Tickers of stock discussed: WFG.TO, BLK, TSLA, AXP
