🇺🇸🇨🇦 Canada–United States trade collapses Trade talks between Washington and Ottawa failed overnight from Friday August 21 to Saturday August 22, 2026, just a few hours before the deadline set by Donald Trump. The 50% tariffs came into effect at midnight on a wide range of Canadian products, including hockey sticks, construction materials, spirits, and some clothing. (NBC News) What happened: Prime Minister Mark Carney announced he would suspend the negotiations, saying that « the progress made was not sufficient to meet our objectives for Canadians » (NBC News) Carney said Canada « will match these tariffs dollar for dollar » (NPR) U.S. Commerce representative Jamieson Greer replied that Canada had « refused to finalize the trade agreement on the terms agreed earlier this week » (NPR), citing U.S. proposals for tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, automobiles, and wood Background: These tariffs affect about 5% of Canadian exports to the United States (The Globe and Mail), with an immediate economic impact judged limited by economists (0.4 to 0.6% of GDP, according to RBC and Capital Economics), but a stronger sector-specific shock expected in electronics, plastics, paper, and furniture The Canadian Chamber of Commerce called the situation a « serious blow to North American competitiveness » (NBC News) Sources: NBC News, NPR, CNN Business, Radio-Canada (see links in the cited articles) #news
👂 Why are US bond markets trembling?!🤔 The US 30-year yield hit its highest level since 2007, and the 10-year is hovering around 4.71%, with the 5% threshold now closely watched. (Source: Boursorama/Reuters, 18/08/2026) Main causes: 🔸 US debt nearing $40,000 billion, budget outlooks deemed untenable 🔸 US-Iran war → higher oil prices → fears of renewed inflation 🔸 Massive borrowing by tech giants for AI, competing with demand for government bonds 🔸 Decline in foreign holdings of Treasury bills (Japan, UK, China) Treasury reaction: doubling purchases of long-dated bonds, which temporarily pushed yields down and weakened the dollar—easing Wall Street on Wednesday. But starting Thursday, the market questioned the effectiveness of the measure, and yields resumed their climb. (Source: La Presse, Boursorama, 19-20/08/2026) Collateral effect: gold jumped by +4% in a single session (best performance in 6 months), a sign that investors are seeking safe havens amid bond-market uncertainty.
I participated in an airdrop in the Learn to Earn section and won 50 Home just by answering a few questions. It's very simple and easy. Currently, there are no airdrops available, but many will be available soon, and you'll be able to play and win like me. 😁 😁 🤩 #Airdrop #LearntoEarn
Personally, I am not against those who say we are in a bear market; it's even quite possible. No one has the ultimate or perfect knowledge. Do your own research, it's not financial advice But as far as I am concerned, I could be wrong, but I remain very bullish ☺️🚀🚀 If you doubt, sell; if you are bullish like me, just follow me. 🔥 I think we are in a perfect trap If you panic seeing red everywhere, it means you are exactly falling into the trap. While small investors sell under pressure… global giants are massively opening the liquidity floodgates. And when liquidity arrives, Bitcoin soars.
💡Everyone thinks they're a genius Listen to me please I told you before, $BTC would top out on Q4 2025 Now you can argue if the top is in or not. But I'll tell your what I know for sure BTC profits will be rotating into alts. This is BULLISH for alts. Lower btc dominance = more liquidity for altcoins. Hold your alts. Actually only a few alts, not all. Most will collapse. Know what you hold. Be careful. ✅Nb: This is not investment advice. 😁
