  "summary": "Canada's economy has experienced a rollercoaster ride since US President Donald Trump's tariffs were imposed. Before the tariffs, Canada's economy was performing relatively well.\n\nIn contrast, Australia's economy has seen modest growth of 2.1 per cent in the year to the end of June, according to ABC News AU. Despite this, economists have strengthened their predictions of another interest rate rise.\n\nAustralians are under cost-of-living pressure, with real wages having fallen by more than 5 per cent over five years from 2021, ABC News AU reports. The housing market is also disoriented after budget tax changes.",
