General market trends
Stock futures rose after a tentative deal on raising the US debt ceiling was reached between the Biden administration and Republican lawmakers. Both Republican and Democratic support is needed for the bill to pass. Investors are hopeful that this deal will be completed and approved in the coming days. This could incentivise potential market growth. One potential obstacle this week is the upcoming release of macroeconomic data on the May labour market. However, if this data is positive, it could provide a significant boost to market growth.
