How has the U.S. economic slowdown impacted North American neighbors and their related exchange traded funds (ETFs)?
America is an important market for Canada and Mexico, and the United States is a major consumer of their exports, accounting for 80%. However, the numbers are slowing along with the American economy, explains Carl Delfeld for ETF Folio.

Diversification is the reason, and both countries have a strong domestic demand now that their homeland has strong consumer spending.
