Another look at tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he will in the very near future announce tariffs on automobiles, aluminum and pharmaceuticals. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States would need all those products if there were problems including wars.

Furthermore, he plans on imposing tariffs of 25% on any nation that purchases oil from Venezuela.

Trump claimed, without evidence, that Venezuela has “purposefully and deceitfully” sent criminals, including violent individuals and members of gangs like Tren de Aragua, to the United States.

Global hits:

• US government could face default risk as soon as July, analyst projects.

• Trump says he would like to see the Federal Reserve lower interest rates.

• Mexico inflation slows, activity weakens ahead of rate decision.

Reminder: Genetic testing firm 23andMe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with CEO Anne Wojcicki stepping down but remaining on the board. The news sent shares tumbling 60%, marking a sharp downturn for the once-prominent company.

The Supply Chain Crisis Is Escalating — But This Tech Startup Keeps Winning

Global supply chain chaos is intensifying. Major retailers warn of holiday shortages, and tech giants are slashing forecasts as parts dry up.

But while others scramble, one smart home innovator is thriving.

Their strategic move to manufacturing outside China has kept production running smoothly — driving 200% year-over-year growth, even as the industry stalls.

This foresight is no accident. The same leadership team that saw the supply chain storm coming has already expanded into over 120 BestBuy locations, with talks underway to add Walmart and Home Depot.

At just $1.90 per share, this resilient tech startup offers rare stability in uncertain times. As investors flee vulnerable companies, this window is closing fast.

Stocks Rally on Hopes of Softer Tariffs

Stocks surged Monday amid optimism that President Trump may scale back some planned tariffs, potentially easing fears of an economic slowdown from a prolonged trade war.

Tesla shares, rebounding from nine weeks of losses, jumped nearly 12%, while Meta Platforms and Nvidia each gained over 3%.

Despite lingering concerns over inflation and recession (with probability of a recession reaching 50%), investor sentiment improved on reports that tariffs might be narrower in scope, with sector-specific duties facing delays. Trump hinted Monday that many countries could receive tariff exemptions, though he confirmed levies on pharma and autos remain on the horizon.

The market is coming off a losing streak. However, four-week losing streaks are rare, occurring just 66 times since 1928, according to LPL Financial’s Adam Turnquist. Historically, they often precede gains, with stocks averaging 1.2% returns in the following month, 2.9% in three months, and 4.6% over six months.

While these aren’t major rallies, they offer some optimism. However, if the S&P 500 falls below its 200-day moving average—like in the recent sell-off—recovery tends to be weaker, with average gains of just 0.5%, 1%, and 3.5% over the same periods.

Exciting: Alibaba-affiliate Ant combines Chinese and U.S. chips to slash AI development costs. Elsewhere, South Korea’s Hyundai to announce $20 billion U.S. investment. Lastly, United Airlines stock surged after the carrier rolled out new features and raised the fees for its Chase co-branded credit cards.

Crypto Fund Flows Rebound With $644M in Inflows

Crypto investment products saw a major turnaround last week, recording $644 million in inflows after five weeks of outflows, according to CoinShares. This shift suggests improving investor sentiment, with Bitcoin leading the recovery by attracting $724 million.

Bitcoin's inflows ended its $5.4 billion outflow streak, while short Bitcoin products saw $7.1 million in outflows, indicating waning bearish sentiment. However, Ethereum struggled, posting the largest outflows at $86 million. Other altcoins, including Sui, Polkadot, Tron, and Algorand, also saw declines, while Solana led gains with $6.4 million in inflows.

The U.S. dominated inflows with $632 million, followed by smaller contributions from Switzerland, Germany, and Hong Kong.

Giacomo Casanova: Diversify Your Income (and Risks)

The infamous 18th-century adventurer Casanova wasn’t just a seducer—he was a financial hustler. He juggled roles as a writer, gambler, spy, and even a lottery organizer, adapting to whatever paid. While his gambling habit occasionally left him broke, his ability to pivot kept him afloat across Europe.

Lesson: Relying on one income source is risky. Cultivate multiple skills or side hustles to stay resilient—though maybe skip the reckless bets Casanova loved.
