YOUR PHILLIP SUMMARY
U.S. stocks rose to fresh all-time highs and the Peso rallied versus the Dollar as the Trump administration closed a new bilateral trade deal with Mexico, called The United States-Mexico Trade agreement, leaving behind the old NAFTA name. The new deal will last 16 years and will be reviewed every six years.
Bank shares surged, led by gains in Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan Chase. In Asia, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), reintroduced a policy adjustment aimed at supporting the yuan on Friday. The move, coupled with US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments last Friday on “further, gradual” rate hikes, sent the Shanghai Composite up by 1.9 percent overnight.
