Global markets remain tense as US President Donald Trump reaffirmed that 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada remain under consideration, with a final decision expected by March 3.

📉 Market Impact

• Investors haven't fully priced in the risks, but currency markets could react more strongly as the deadline approaches.
• The USD/CAD and USD/MXN currency pairs may face near-term upside risks if tariffs move forward.

📊 Economic Data in Focus

• US Consumer Confidence Report (Conference Board) is expected to decline from 104.1 to 102.5—a drop below 100 could trigger a stronger market reaction.
• Richmond Fed indices will provide further insights into economic momentum, following weaker-than-expected Fed activity readings from Chicago and Dallas.

📈 Dollar Strength Amid Trade Uncertainty

• ING strategists suggest Trump is likely using tariff threats for negotiating leverage, similar to February's delay.
• Markets are still only modestly pricing in the risk of full implementation.
