Global Markets:

Asian market were a mixed bag on Thursday, with investors awaiting clarity on the U.S.-Vietnam trade deal announced by President Donald Trump. According to a post on Truth Social, the U.S. will slap a 20% tariff on Vietnamese imports, while Vietnam will impose ZERO Tariff on U.S. goods. The announcement comes as Trump's 90-day tariff reprieve nears its deadline.

May's figures were also revised down to 29,000, marking the weakest two-month stretch since early 2023. The soft labor data reflects employer caution and worker hesitation amid tariff-related economic jitters.

All eyes are now on the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report, due Thursday, which could provide clues on the Fed's next move on interest rates.

Markets will wrap up early on Thursday ahead of the July 4 Independence Day holiday.
