Good Morning Traders!

Sentiment
The Senate passed legislation to suspend the US debt ceiling and limit government spending through the 2024 election, bringing an end to a drama that threatened a global financial crisis.
The United States is experiencing a factory-building boom, as government incentives to boost local manufacturing, aimed at helping the economy compete with China, drive a wave of investment.
Borrowings from the Federal Reserve's two backstop liquidity facilities were relatively stable last week.
The dollar fell slightly ahead of the release of US employment statistics, which will be critical for investors to fine-tune their wagers on whether the Federal Reserve would pause its tightening cycle at its next meeting. Treasuries and eurozone bonds fell following this week's big gain. Global stock markets rose after the debt-ceiling agreement cleared the final Legislative obstacle.
