US Military Strike Kills Four Men; Financials Rise on Speculative Activity

The US military confirmed a strike killed four men, while the Fed may have one or two more rate cuts left, according to BlackRock's Lynam. Consumer cos are down due to mixed economic signals, and Canada and Mexico should not be export hubs for China, says USTR. Canada will buy $2.68 billion in air-strike weapons from Boeing and RTX. The healthcare sector is down sharply, and industrials are up on rate bets. Materials are down as the dollar rises, and energy is up with oil futures. USTR's Greer wants to ensure that Canada and Mexico are not used as export hubs for China, Vietnam, or Indonesia.
