'This Was Preventable': Spokane Business that Imports Products From Asia Celebrates SCOTUS Ruling on Tariffs

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against Trump's tariffs, possibly forcing up to $200 billion in government repayments and easing market uncertainty, boosting major U.S. stock indexes.

  • Markets reacted on Friday as the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's tariffs, lifting the broad market index 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite 0.6%.
  • After the decision, President Donald Trump said he will sign an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff, and Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the president 'must identify clear congressional authorization' for such powers.
  • In Friday trading, the S&P/TSX composite index rose 222.53 points to 33,817.51, and the S&P 500 gained 47.62 points, with commodities edging higher, including the April gold contract up US$83.50.
  • Analysts warned the full financial fallout is uncertain and the U.S. government may have to repay up to $200 billion, raising questions on how quickly refunds will be handled.
  • Despite the court ruling, investor reaction was muted and analysts said technology stocks bounced after being oversold amid AI disruption fears, with earnings from Canada's big banks likely driving markets next week.
