S&P/TSX composite ends lower, U.S. stock markets also down

**Canada’s S&P/TSX Composite Falls as U.S. Markets Decline**

*Toronto –* The S&P/TSX Composite Index closed lower on Friday, slipping by nearly 300 points despite a recent gross domestic product (GDP) report that indicated a strengthening Canadian economy. The decline occurred amid ongoing trade tensions that have been influencing market sentiment.

In the United States, major equity indexes also posted losses, reflecting broader investor concerns. While the specific figures for the U.S. indices were not disclosed, the parallel downturn suggests a synchronized market reaction to the prevailing economic and geopolitical environment.

The Canadian GDP data, released earlier in the week, showed signs of economic improvement, yet the market’s response was muted, underscoring the impact of external factors such as trade disputes on investor confidence.

No further details on the composition of the index decline or the magnitude of the U.S. market losses were provided.
