鈥淲e have now two blockades, both on the Iranian side, but also on the U.S. side,鈥� she said. That鈥檚 鈥渙bviously a very big tension point."

Meanwhile, central banks in Canada and the U.S. held their overnight interest rates steady on Wednesday, signalling the high levels of uncertainty as the war in the Middle East continues.

The Bank of Canada identified two clear sources of lingering uncertainty in its updated outlook released alongside its rate decision: the war in Iran鈥檚 effects on energy prices; and the outcome of the upcoming review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement.聽

Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem said those factors will play a role in where the bank takes its policy rate in future decisions.聽

If the U.S. hits Canada with sharper trade restrictions in the wake of the review, Macklem said the bank may need to cut the policy rate further to support the economy. But if the Iran war pushes global energy prices higher for longer, he said the central bank may be forced to tighten monetary policy to keep inflation in check.

Her firm reduced exposure to lower-quality companies while investing more in inflation-linked U.S. bonds, she said. The firm is also moving away from cyclic sectors, such as real estate.
