  "account": "The Canadian Dollar fell as Canada reported its strongest quarterly growth since early 2023, with GDP increasing by 3.3% in the second quarter and setting a new annualized pace. This outpaced the Bank of Canada's forecast, which was 2.5%. Exports saw a significant boost, rising 3.6% on the quarter, led by a 27% surge in vehicle shipments. However, this growth came at a cost as the country faced a 50% American duty on roughly C$27.6 billion of goods from August 22, and measures were set to take effect on September 8.",
  "summary": "Canada produced the strongest growth figure of the cycle and the Canadian Dollar is weaker for it.",
