Global Equities Rally After Mexico Tariffs Are Called Off

by Vlad Karpel |

U.S. markets up today helped by the news

U.S. Stocks, indices, and futures are on the move up today following Friday’s announcement by President Trump that the U.S. will not move forward with proposed tariffs on Mexico.

Global equities ride the good news

Global equities were also able to rise off of the news, clearing the way for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement to be finalized. China-U.S. trade tension remains as further tariffs are still possible.

United Technologies and Raytheon merger in focus

Major news to monitor includes the United Technologies and Raytheon merger as well as recently released global and U.S. economic data.

Economic data for this week

Buy SPY near $280

With the SPY trading above its 50 days moving average, $286, we expect the market to continue trading between $280-$294. We encourage our readers to buy near $280 and avoid chasing near $290.

Monitor overhead resistance at $290 and if market breaks above $290 for multiple days, the market would have potential to retest 52 weeks high. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

Reached deal between U.S.-Mexico moves markets in green

Major U.S. indices are in the green today supported by last Friday’s news that the U.S would not impose tariffs on Mexico after reaching an agreement regarding illegal immigration.

Mexican peso on a year’s high following the news

Also part of the deal, Trump stated Mexico agreed to purchase “large quantities of agricultural products” leading to a nice boost for both U.S. stocks and the Mexican peso, which reached a yearly high following the news.

S&P rise five days in a row

The S&P has risen for five straight days while the dollar is also up today. Global equities are also up today with Asian and European markets closed in the green today.

Labor data disappoints

On Friday, labor data disappointed, coming in below expectations but had a surprising effect on markets.

At least one rate cut by the Fed in the next two FOMC meetings

With lowering labor data, many investors and analysts are predicting at least one rate cut by the Fed in the next two FOMC meetings.

S&P have one of the best weeks of 2019

This, in turn, supported markets and boosted the S&P to close out one of its best weeks of 2019.

In the deal, United Tech shareholders will own 57% of the combined business while Raytheon holders will get 2.33 shares for each Raytheon share they own.
