Trump Halts Talks, Threatens Tariffs

source DALL-E

Canada Tariff Talks Implode: Trump torpedoes U.S.-Canada trade talks over a new Canadian tech tax, calling it a hostile move against American companies like Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), and Google (GOOG). His abrupt exit from negotiations leaves a proposed economic and security pact in limbo.

Tariff Threats Back On: Trump says steep tariffs on Canadian imports will be reinstated within a week, citing the need to “protect American innovation.” Previous duties on Canadian aluminum, lumber, and autos may return in force, stoking fears of a broader North American trade war.

Markets Shudder, Allies Bristle: Markets dipped slightly as investors digested the breakdown. U.S. tech giants could face retaliatory taxes, while Canadian officials accused Trump of “economic coercion,” signaling that global allies may be rethinking post-2024 diplomatic strategy.

Coinbase Leads the S&P 500

source DALL-E

Best Performer On The Street: Coinbase (COIN) is the S&P 500’s best performing stock for June, up over 30 percent. This continues a monster run for the crypto exchange, which has skyrocketed nearly 400 percent over the past year, fueled by the crypto rebound and ETF fueled trading volumes.

More Fuel In The Tank: Analysts say the rally may not be over. Trading activity remains strong, Bitcoin ETF flows are sticky, and regulatory clarity is improving. Oppenheimer just raised its price target to 320 dollars, about 20 percent higher from here.

Not Just About Crypto: Coinbase is not just riding Bitcoin (BTC). It is pivoting into broader financial services including stablecoins, custody, and institutional clients. That diversification could help insulate it from the next crypto winter.
