Wall Street indices look set for gains today after U.S. President Trump announced late Friday that he would suspend the Mexico tariffs that were due to be imposed today. G-20 warned of escalating hazards from trade and geopolitical tensions. The weak U.S. jobs report on Friday raised expectations of a shift to an easing bias from the Fed.
