The historic trade deal struck by the U.S. and 11 other Pacific nations would benefit a number of U.S. industries, analysts and trade groups said Monday. But they say the deal won’t be a positive across the board.

The U.S. and the 11 other countries including Japan reached agreement Monday on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal to lower trade barriers to goods and services and also to set commercial rules for two-fifths of the global economy. Congress will consider the deal, and a contentious fight is expected.

Stefanie Miller, a research analyst with Height Securities, said she expects big U.S. technology companies, the U.S. apparel industry and the U.S. agricultural sector would benefit.
