The US government posted a $258 billion budget surplus in April, up 23% from the same month last year, driven by strong tax receipts and higher import duty collections. The surge came during the final month of the tax season, when revenue typically peaks. Net customs duties alone totaled $16 billion for the month, a $9 billion increase from the prior year, as steep tariffs on Chinese goods—some as high as 145%—and at least 10% tariffs on other imports boosted collections. On average, the US collected over $500 million per day in tariffs during April, although this is down from the $2 billion per day President Trump claimed previously. The surplus was also supported by $85 billion in deferred tax receipts from California and calendar effects that shifted some April expenses into earlier months. However, officials expect tariff revenue to drop in the coming months following a temporary US-China agreement to reduce tariffs.

Wheat Hits 36-week Low

Aluminum futures rose to $2,500 per tonne in May, the highest in over one month, as the possibility of somewhat steady trade flows between the US and China supported the outlook for global manufacturing activity. The US and China agreed to lower tariffs against each other for the upcoming three months, supporting demand for Chinese factories. This was prevented by a sharper rebound after Chinese producers signaled they will raise capacity overseas, as mainland production is likely hitting Beijing's output cap of 45 million tons this year. On top of that, key smelters in South East Asia noted that higher alumina supply this year increase the availability of inputs after struggling with shortages throughout last year, lowering production costs.

Aluminum Rises to 1-Month High

The Canadian dollar slipped past 1.4 per US dollar, easing further from its strongest levels since October of 1.378 seen May 6th, as a resurgent greenback, fired by the 90-day US–China tariff truce, drew fresh capital into dollar assets, lifting the US Dollar and exerting broad-based appreciation pressure on the loonie. Domestically, Friday’s soft employment report—showing disappointing job gains alongside a rising unemployment rate—has tempered expectations for further Bank of Canada tightening, while markets have pared back bets on Fed easing, causing US–Canada yield spreads to widen. Although crude oil prices have soared, offering some relief to Canada’s energy export revenues, the strength of the dollar and the narrowing domestic policy differential have overwhelmed oil’s support.
