US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer recently said the U.S. is prepared to move ahead with the deal replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement without Canada. Traders also eyeing developments overseas after the new Italian government offered a budget with a deficit target three times larger than the previous administration’s goal.
