How are global markets reacting to the uncertainty during this tariff watch?The EU is one of America's largest trading partners. How important is it for these two sides to strike a deal? And what's at stake if they don't before the deadline?More than two dozen countries make up the EU. The bloc is seeking lower tariffs for a variety of sectors like aircraft, car parts, and spirits. Talk about that. So, what sectors do you think could be hit the hardest, and which ones could be spared?The EU has presented a united front. However, some countries want a trade deal sooner than later. Can you talk about the debate you're witnessing in Europe? Trade deals typically take years to be implemented, so any announcement would be a preliminary agreement. If a US investor has European companies in their portfolio, what would this framework mean for them in the long-term? Let's shift to this year's market performance of European stocks.

Trump Trade Deals Could Trigger a 160% Crypto PUMP! New trade policy talks and crypto-friendly rhetoric from Trump's camp are creating serious momentum — and analysts are now forecasting potential 160% upside across major altcoins like Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP.

Originally by today - July 9th - we were supposed to have 90 trade deals in 90 days, and new tariffs were supposed to go into effect. This week, the Trump administration extended the deadline to August 1st. President Trump is now insisting that there will not be another extension to this deadline. Maria Demertzis, the chief economist for Europe at the Conference Board in Brussels, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at what message this latest extension of the tariff deadline sends to America's trading partners, particularly Europe.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:No TACO Tuesday: Trump insists Aug. 1 tariff deadline won't be extendedTrump delays tariffs as the rest of the world plays hardballWhat Trump Trade Policy Has Achieved Since ‘Liberation Day'Greek PM to brief Parliament on migration surge from LibyaBenghazi expels EU migration envoysHouthi rebels release video of attack on Greek ship Magic SeasDeath toll from Red Sea attack on Greek-owned vessel rises to three

Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer at KraneShares and the author of the China Last Night blog, says that the government of China is "doing the things that Trump wants them to be doing" for domestic policy purposes, which is why he sees the signs of a U.S.-China trade deal in the works. He says in The Big Interview that neither side can win in a trade war, but that both sides can move forward sharply and strongly with agreement, even if tariff levels remain high and in place indefinitely. Ahern says that "the worst is behind us" on dollar weakness, noting that he doesn't expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates until later in the year, allowing the dollar to stabilize in the interim while tariff policies are being finalized. Bob Powell, retirement columnist at TheStreet.com discusses government projections showing that standard monthly premiums for Medicare Part B will rise by more than 11 percent in 2026, and will likely be subjected to higher-than-expected increases potentially for the next decade.
