TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

German automaker shares continue to climb this week, in response to news that the U.S and Mexico have reached a new trade deal. The news has pushed BMW up 2.00%, Daimler 1.19% and Volkswagen (DE:VOWG_p) 1.87%. Under the agreement, 75% of automobile content must be manufactured in North America, up from NAFTA’s current level of 62.5%. European car makers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Mexican plants will continue to manufacture their cars and send them on to the U.S and Canadian markets without the imposition of heavy tariffs. This agreement comes after months of escalating trade tensions, which have shaken global equity markets. The announcement of the US-Mexico deal, which likely will be extended to Canada, has improved risk appetite for equities this week.
