  "account": "TSX futures climbed higher on Tuesday, driven by the U.S.-Canada trade tensions and bank earnings releases. By 06:38 ET, the S&P/TSX 60 index futures had risen by 5 points, or 0.2%. The commodities-heavy S&P/TSX composite index had climbed 0.26% to 36,714.12 points on Monday, helped by metal mining stocks following a surge in precious metal prices. A deal to avoid 50% U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods was not reached last week, resulting in tariffs being imposed on Saturday. Canada vowed to impose dollar-for-dollar levities in response. However, these retaliatory duties will not be enacted for several weeks, providing time for potential negotiations. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to increase tariffs on Canadian automotive, truck, and steel exports to 50% has been postponed until January 2027. Canadian bank earnings boosted sentiment on Tuesday. BMO Financial reported a rise in third-quarter profit, driven by its capital markets unit. Bank of Nova Scotia also saw an increase in quarterly income, fueled by higher interest income. This strengthened the broader rally in bank stocks, which have outperformed the TSX benchmark this year. U.S. stock futures also rose as investors awaited key inflation data and earnings from AI leader Nvidia later in the week.",
