|The news of a month of delay for the tariffs targeting Mexico landed soon after the US opening bell and similar news about Canada came in later in the day. On the European front, nothing more than increased threats and mounting tensions among politicians, with Brexited Britain spotted as one bright spot in Europe. On the Chinese front, Xi and Trump are set to discuss the 10% tariffs this week, but Beijing has already announced retaliatory measures, including an antitrust probe into Google and a 15% tariff on U.S. coal and LNG imports.

Alphabet and AMD are due to announce earnings today, and the monthly avalanche of US jobs data begins today with job openings data. Any strength in data will further fuel the Federal Reserve (Fed) hawks and help push back the expectation of the next rate cut further down the road. For now, the first rate cut is being priced in for June – the earliest.
