Today’s highlights: Trade war continues to weigh on markets
- US-China tensions continue: Wall Street finished lower on Friday, following reports that the US and China were reluctant to schedule another round of trade talks, due to President Trump’s executive order limiting Chinese telecom companies’ activities in the US.
- Low volatility expected for CAD: Banks in Canada will be closed today, in observance of a national holiday. As a result, lower liquidity and volatility could be expected for the Canadian Dollar.
- Powell to speak today: Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be giving a speech at a conference in Florida at 23:00 GMT. Powell’s speech could generate volatility for the USD and other key financial instruments in the US.
- Tesla crashes more than 7%: Electric carmaker Tesla reached its lowest levels in more than 2 years on Friday, after dropping 7.6%. The recent losses are attributed to Tesla’s poor performance in Q1, losing $700 million, a recent crash involving a Tesla car’s autopilot feature, and founder Elon Musk saying the company requires a financial overhaul.
