Updated June 04, 2025
The North American session concluded on an upbeat note, mirroring tuesday’s trends with the Nasdaq leading among major currencies. US indices closed in the green, with the Nasdaq Composite up over 1.60%, followed by the S&P 500, which increased by 0.70%.
Contributing to the positive sentiment, US job openings surpassed expectations, reporting 7.391 million against the anticipated 7.2 million,with 191,000 new positions added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is nearing the 6,000 milestone,a level potentially achievable before the upcoming Non-Farm Payroll release if the current risk-on tone persists.
The delay in tariffs on Chinese imports until August 31st has further fueled market optimism, triggering rallies across global indices. This “Trump Taco,” as some analysts call it, is being factored into market valuations.
Commodities reflected the positive market sentiment, with crude oil prices closing around $63.60, near the high end of its $60.5 to $64 range established in May. Industrial metals also saw gains, with copper closing up 3.20% and aluminum prices increasing by over 5% since Friday.
Gold, though, declined by about 0.80%, failing to capitalize on the risk-on environment despite remaining above its daily channel breakout.
In the Forex market, the U.S. dollar led gains, followed closely by the euro and the pound. Conversely, safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen lagged, both declining by 0.90% amid the positive market tone. The Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian dollars all gave back some of their previous gains, finishing down about 0.50% against the greenback.
What’s next
Looking ahead, traders are anticipating key economic data releases, including German unemployment data and US factory orders. the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision and Governor Macklem’s press conference will also be closely watched for further insights into the economic outlook and potential policy shifts.
