Good MorningEquity markets rebounded on Tuesday, reclaiming Monday's losses after Trump gave Canada and Mexico a reprieve. The two have 30 days to show progress in the fight against illicit drug trafficking and may easily preclude the need for tariffs to return.

This week's genuine hurdle is the labor data. Monthly labor data is expected to align with resilient conditions, ample job availability, steady employment growth, and rising wages. Employment growth and rising wages are critical factors as they will keep the Fed from lowering interest rates significantly in 2025. As it is, the odds for two 25-basis point reductions in 2025 are dwindling fast and will likely decline further once the labor data is released.
