Investors are somehow cautious ahead of a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker at the White House this afternoon.

The meeting comes after strict trade tensions between the European Union and the United States.

Trump has already slapped tariffs before on steel and aluminum imports from the EU and has threatened to extend those decisions to the European auto sector.

“The European Union is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a deal on Trade. I have an idea for them. Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies! That would finally be called Free Market and Fair Trade! Hope they do it, we are ready – but they won’t”. Trump tweeted

 

On the other hand, negotiations for a new North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will be restarted after stalling ahead of Mexico’s presidential election on July 1. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland will discuss progress in Mexico today with both the incoming and outgoing administrations, while Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo will be in Washington tomorrow to meet with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Gaping differences are expected to be resolved, including car-trade rules and a sunset clause that would kill the deal after five years.

 

Earlier, the Australian CPI came as expected with 0.4% along with the trimmed mean CPI with 0.5%; investors were expecting any rise in inflation to get any clue of when the RBA may raise the rates
