My people! What's up, friends! I have some hot gossip that has us all on edge and our pockets tight. It turns out that on July 9, the tariff situation from President Trump expires, yes, those taxes he imposed on imports! And Jerome Powell, the big boss of the Federal Reserve of the United States, dropped a bombshell that left us thinking: the tariffs have been the culprits for not lowering interest rates. That's right, just like you heard! 🤯

Imagine the scene: most trade agreements are in limbo, as if waiting for a miracle. But the 90-day pause on those famous tariffs "Liberation Day" is about to expire. And what happens if on July 9 there is no agreement? Well, an economic stew is cooked up! 🍲

The very Trump said in an interview that, although he doesn't plan to extend the pause, he "could" do so. Oh, what a mystery! It seems he enjoys playing with our nerves. 😅

But it doesn't end there. It seems that the European Union is somewhat willing to negotiate with the United States, but with its conditions, of course! They want a 10% tariff for some industries, but they ask for a discount for others like pharmaceuticals, alcohol, semiconductors, and aviation. Like haggling at the market, you know?! 🏷️

On the other hand, the situation with Canada looks better. They say they have already backed down from the digital services tax that had Trump fuming. It seems that the deal between them is sailing smoothly and they expect to sign something by July 21! That's good, that's good! 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

Oh, but watch out! China is a different story. They have their own agreement with the United States until August 9, so for them, July 9 does not apply. Every crazy person with their own theme! 🐉

Now, the main course: Jerome Powell. The man was in Portugal, at a forum with the boss of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde. She was celebrating that they have already reached their inflation target of 2% in Europe. How envious! 🇪🇺🥳

And Powell, as if nothing happened, said that the economy of the United States is "generally healthy." But the question we all had on the tip of our tongues was: What would have happened if the tariffs had not existed? And the man spilled the beans, albeit cautiously! He said that if it weren't for the tariffs, the Federal Reserve would have lowered interest rates even more! 🤯 In other words, those taxes made all inflation forecasts skyrocket, and that's why they stayed put, waiting to see what would happen. Serious business! 📈

So you know, my people, stay alert with the news these days. July 9 is a key date that could move the greenback and affect how the economy feels in our pockets. Trump asking Powell to lower rates and Powell biting his tongue... this is getting interesting! Let's keep an eye on it! 🕵️‍♀️$BTC $ETH $XRP
