Sovereign bond yields have risen sharply in recent days — not only in the United States, but also in Japan, the United Kingdom and the Eurozone. This is something SriKonomics has repeatedly warned about in past issues. The selloff is all the more striking because it is taking place against a backdrop of slowing global economic growth. And this may be the ...

“Many participants noted that ongoing strong demand for AI infrastructure would likely sustain upward pressure on prices for technology products and electricity.” That line from the Federal Reserve’s June meeting minutes captured a shift that Wall Street is only beginning to price.

The United States on Friday imposed fresh tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners, including the European Union, China, India, Japan and South Korea, marking the first major step by President Donald Trump's administration to rebuild its global tariff regime after the US Supreme Court struck down his previous reciprocal duties ...

President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the US will launch a Section 301 investigation into the European Union for "robbing American companies, in turn, the American Taxpayer."

Edward Yardeni, Yardeni Research president, says the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates three times to solve the inflation problem. He speaks on "Bloomberg Money."

The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies! After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars, without explanation. This brings the Google total to over 18 Billion Dollars! This illegal and highly discriminatory practice started at these high levels during the first year of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it’s not going to continue during the Trump Administration. The United States of America is not a “PIGGYBANK” for Europe, nor will we allow it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of “ROBBING” American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer. The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about. The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment. Stay tuned! President DONALD J. TRUMP
