4 August 2026, 15:50  Canada: Trade Surplus Rises to 4-Year High.

Canada recorded a trade surplus of C$3.86 billion in June of 2026, widening from the C$3.7 billion in May to mark the largest surplus in over four years. Exports rose by 0.4% from the previous month to a record high of C$77.5 billion. Sales rose sharply for metal and non-metallic products (16.5% to C$15.02 billion) amid a 27.9% surge in sales of gold, mostly to the UK. Sales of metal ores and non-metallic minerals rose by 17.3% to C$3.14 billion with support from copper ores. These offset the 10% plunge in energy products (to C$18.37 billion) as the momentary respite in the Middle East war had lowered energy prices. Meanwhile, imports rose by 0.2% to a record of C$73.6 billion with drops in industrial machinery, equipment, and parts (-3.3% to C$7.6 billion) and metal ores and non-metallic minerals (-3.4% to C$2.81 billion). The depreciation of the Canadian dollar in the period lifted trade turnover expressed in the loonie, contributing to the rise in both imports and exports.
