U.S. threats of 50% tariffs on additional Canadian goods and Ottawa calling it a tariff war raise the odds of weaker cross-border freight volumes that hit rail revenue. Tariffs target categories that move by rail, so CNI has direct exposure. CNI is down about 0.9% since the news and RSI sits midrange at 54.6, so the market hasn't fully repriced a major slowdown. The stock isn't extended, which leaves room for downside if tariffs bite volumes. We lean bearish because tariffs cut demand for cross-border shipping and rails are volume-sensitive. Counterpoint: negotiators are still meeting, so a deal could quickly reduce the downside risk.
