• The latest jobless claims data won't impact the U.S. Labor Department’s May employment report, set for release Friday, as they fall outside the survey period.

• Meanwhile data showed on Thursday,Canada’s trade deficit widened to a record C$7.1 billion in April, as U.S. tariffs under Trump’s policies reduced demand for Canadian exports.
