๐จ๐บ๐ธ๐จ๐ฆ The Canada trade talks collapsed and 50% tariffs hit $20 billion of goods at midnight
-U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer says Canada walked away after days of talks brought both sides close
-He says Washington offered Canada the best treatment of any major exporter to the American market
-Greer blamed new demands and walked-back commitments for upending the balance reached this week
-Trump had said repeatedly this week that a good deal was near
-Ottawa has not responded
Trump paused these same tariffs three days ago citing a deal subject to finalizing documents.
Whatever Canada was asked to sign in that window, it decided the tariffs cost less.
Watch the provincial alcohol bans, which his own officials named as the sticking point and no prime minister can deliver alone.

๐บ๐ธ Governments of different countries sold another $70B of U.S. Treasuries in June, dropping total overseas holdings to $9.3T after the third decline in four months.
Japan, China, and the UK all trimmed, with Chinaโs pile now the smallest since the 2008 crash.
Official buyers like central banks are clearly cooling while private money still steps in.
Americaโs debt keeps expanding and the old reliable foreign government buyers are less eager to fund it, so private investors have been covering the gap for now, a setup that works until the day it doesnโt.

Bitcoin has reclaimed the Daily MA 200 ($69,000) and price is currently trading around $77,000 after a strong bounce.
Historically, the Daily 200 MA has acted as a major trendline.
In 2022 bear market, $BTC bottomed in november and then reclaimed Daily 200 MA in jan 2023 which marked the beginning of a new bull run.
Now the same level is being tested again after BTC crashed -54% from its 2025 ATH of $126,199 to a low of $57,800.
Holding above the Daily MA 200 would be an important step for further upside.

BREAKING: ๐บ๐ธ The CFTC just had its first-ever meeting on The Crypto Clarity.
Here is what CFTC Chair Mike Selig said:
1. Crypto will get clear market structure rules regardless of whether Congress passes the Clarity Act or not.
2. Trump fired anti-crypto Gary Gensler to make the US the crypto capital of the world.

๐บ๐ธ Americans with money in the stock market are sitting on record amounts right now.
The median value of U.S. consumersโ stock investments has hit $350,000.
That includes stocks, mutual funds and retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs.
Just two years ago, that number was less than half of where it is today.
And since January alone, itโs jumped another $150,000, or 75%.
Before 2024, the median had never really pushed past $150,000.
But hereโs the part that actually matters.
The top 10% of earners now account for nearly half of all U.S. consumer spending, the highest share on record going back to 1989.
So the average American isnโt exactly the one cashing in here.
People who already own a bunch of assets are watching their wealth explode, while everyone else is getting further and further behind.
The economy can look pretty amazing when youโre looking at it from the top.

BREAKING: ๐บ๐ธ Treasury Secretary Bessent says routine bond buybacks could exceed $4 billion.
This means US will pump over $4 billion into the financial system by purchasing its own bonds, a move that lowers borrowing costs and serves as a major green light for stocks and crypto.

๐บ๐ธ $1.4 trillion: Thatโs what America paid in interest on the national debt over the last twelve months, nearly three times the 2020 level.
A growing share of every federal dollar is now going to service past borrowing instead of funding current programs. If rates stay where they are, the annual bill may climb to $1.7 trillion by November 2028 and becomes the governmentโs single largest expense, overtaking Social Security for the first time.
The real danger is the feedback loop: larger deficits add more debt, more debt generates higher interest costs, and those costs push deficits even wider.
Once the numbers get this big, the cycle starts feeding itself.
Interest and debt management arenโt abstract Wall Street worries anymore, theyโre the quiet force deciding how much room Washington actually has left to spend on anything else.

๐บ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ต The yen is climbing back toward 160 against the dollar 2 weeks after Japan and the U.S. spent roughly $90B trying to stop it from falling further.
Tokyo and Washington jumped in together when the pair hit 164.
Japan put up most of the cash; the U.S. joined for the first time in decades.
The move worked briefly, then the same rate-gap pressures pulled the yen weaker again.
A sliding yen makes imports more expensive for Japanese families.
It also raises the risk that Japan starts selling its huge pile of U.S. Treasuries, which can push up American mortgage and loan rates.
Thatโs why both sides care, the pain can show up in grocery bills and monthly payments far beyond the currency charts.
