This weekend’s G-7 summit in Canada, despite the late dramatics, ended pretty much as analysts had expected, with President Donald Trump rejecting the communique issued for the meeting. While there was some selling of the Canadian dollar when markets opened, reaction has generally been benign. Trump, meanwhile, has gone to Singapore for his meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, which is due to begin at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time tonight. The president has said that he will know Kim’s intentions within the “first minute” of the meeting.
