Stock markets in Canada and the U.S. surged higher in late-morning trading after reports that a new round of U.S. tariffs scheduled to be implemented on April 2 might be narrower than first expected.

The S&P/TSX composite index was up 361.20 points at 25,329.69 as markets have been volatile amid the uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs.
