TORONTO \u2014 Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week: <\/p>\n

Holiday trading <\/p>\n

The Toronto Stock Exchange will be closed for trading on Wednesday for the Canada Day holiday, while stock markets in the U.S. will be closed on Friday in observance of the July Fourth holiday which lands on a Saturday this year. <\/p>\n

Trade <\/p>\n

Canada, the United States and Mexico face a deadline Wednesday to decide if they want to go ahead with a 16-year extension of their trade deal or trigger a process that would see annual reviews of the agreement until it expires in 2036. Canada and Mexico are both seeking the extension, but the U.S. has voiced little appetite for that option. <\/p>\n
