Fears of a trade dispute with the United States have pushed consumer confidence in Canada to its lowest level in more than a year, according to a new report.

The Conference Board of Canada said Monday that its Index of Consumer Confidence, a broad measure of how Canadians are feeling about the economy, fell more than 12 points to 52.6 in February, the largest one-month drop in more than a year and a half.
