Fundamentals

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative previously stated that the United States and Mexico have begun discussions on key issues such as automotive rules of origin, steel and aluminum trade, and economic security. Under the terms of the agreement, the three countries must complete their review of the pact by July 1; if they fail to reach an agreement on extending the deal by that date, the agreement will enter an annual review phase that will continue through 2036. Greer previously indicated that if Canada wishes to participate in the U.S.-led review process, it may need to accept some form of tariff arrangement.

The market is currently focused on the upcoming May nonfarm payrolls report. Economists generally expect the U.S. to add approximately 85,000 nonfarm jobs in May, down from 115,000 in April, but the unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.3%. The continued robust performance of the labor market has also reinforced market expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for an extended period.
