What's on the agenda for this week?

More tariffs over the weekend; 30% on the EU and Mexico beginning August 1st although talks continue between them and the US. The stock indexes took a big hit on trading overnight but by 8:30 am ET off the worst levels.

Treasury released its June budget last Friday; the estimates were for the month were -$50.0B but Treasury ended the month with a surplus on $27B after May’s -$515.7B deficit. The surplus driven by a sharp rise in customs duties revenue, which hit a record $27.2B. This boost in tariff collections helped push June budget receipts up 13% to $526B, while spending dropped 7% to $499B. Year-to-date, the overall budget deficit rose 5% to $1.337 trillion, due to increased outlays on healthcare, Social Security, defense, and interest on debt.
