The Bank of Canada is warning that the ongoing tariff dispute has “rattled markets” and increases the risk of “disorderly” selloffs that would test the country’s financial system.

“Continued US trade policy uncertainty could spur further market volatility and an abrupt repricing of assets, which in turn could lead to acute and persistent liquidity pressures,” the bank said in its annual report on Canada’s financial system Thursday.
