Trump now said he wants to talk on the phone with Lula...

If without conversation and without counter-party the US released 700 products or 46% of our export list from tariffs, including the goods with the highest added value (like airplanes)... imagine what Brazil will achieve by negotiating!

Remembering that Brazil, WITHOUT NEGOTIATING, has already obtained a much better agreement than Europe and Japan!!!!

And, worse for Trump, the negotiator on the other end of the line is LULA, not Zelensky, no 😆😄😃😂🤣

#TRUMP imposed a 3.5% fee on money transfers out of the U.S., including investments.

Interestingly, this is the same type of charge and at the same level that Brazil has just created. The difference is that in Brazil the charge only affects the wealthiest, with an exemption up to 50 thousand Reais.

Either both are right or both are wrong...

With #Trump2024 , the image of the Dollar worsens and benefits cryptocurrencies and emerging countries.

The Dollar is losing value against most currencies in the world and this has significantly boosted $BTC .

It is not the #Bitcoin that is appreciating; it is the dollar that is depreciating. And the target should be US$ 125 THOUSAND! Of course, with corrections and bumps along the way.

The American debt is about US$ 30 trillion and the American government will need to roll over around US$ 9 trillion of the debt in the second half.

If the US rolls over at the current interest rate level, it will become very burdensome for the government, depreciating the American currency. As happens with any country. In Argentina, for example.

Another factor, a direct consequence of Trump's policies, is the temporary suspension of the tariff war between the United States and China, which made investors a little less wary of buying cryptocurrencies and securities from emerging countries, such as Brazil.

It should be understood that the "risk" of these other investments is as real and tangible as the supposed security that the same investors placed in the US and in Trump, before he assumed the presidency. That is: mere supposition rooted in ideology and herd effect.

It is ironic that in the attempt to strengthen the Dollar, Trump motivated the migration to other assets and opportunities, anticipating the decline of the economy that he wanted to strengthen.

Can the dollar fall even more in the world? Economists at the American bank Morgan Stanley believe so.

The American currency has already accumulated a depreciation of 10% just against the real in 2025, and the movement may intensify in the coming weeks.

In a report sent to clients, analysts write that they project the appreciation of American stocks and also of the futures interest contracts of the Central Bank.

However, the dynamics of the global economy and the reduction in trade tensions promoted by American President Donald Trump should weaken the dollar even further in the coming weeks.

This means that the dollar could be close to 5.10 Reais or less in December.

So, if you can, wait a few months if you are going to buy the currency. Or sell at the next seasonal high that occurs if that is advantageous for you.

This is NOT an investment suggestion, but it would be good for you to favorite this post and come back in 6 months to comment 😉

The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, was the target of a diplomatic ambush orchestrated by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, during an official visit to the White House.

Trump pressured Ramaphosa in front of cameras and aides with false or out-of-context videos. One of them pointed to alleged clandestine cemeteries in the country.

With firmness and serenity, Ramaphosa dismantled the staging. He questioned Trump about the origin of the videos, which the Republican admitted he did not know.

Then, with irony, the South African reacted to the provocation: "I'm sorry, I don't have a plane to give you," he said in a tone that many present understood as a veiled denunciation of the promiscuity between Trump and authoritarian regimes, like that of Qatar, from whom he received a luxurious Boeing worth 1 billion.

Completely out of diplomatic protocol, the childish attempt at humiliation was the same used against the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in February, successfully. But repeating it against Ramaphosa met with adequate resistance.

Unlike the Ukrainian, the South African president did not get upset, nor did he "argue back" or stand up. He remained in the same field of sarcasm as Trump, and his education dismantled the arrogance of the American who expected the conversation to devolve into insults and grandstanding, as it did with Zelensky.

$BTC broke a record today and is close to surpassing 110k. $ETH and other altcoins are also rising after Moody's downgraded the credit rating of the USA (if you didn't know the reason... 😉)

Don't be fooled, prices will stabilize. The question is: at what level? Close to those 110k? Below 100k? Any guesses? I'm not even asking for analysis because the market is very manipulated for the tools to work.

Let the crying begin!

While the investment note drops in Trump’s USA, agencies are betting on a strong rise in the... Brazilian stock market. And already in 2026. Before the elections, it should be said.

Flash in the pan.

#TRUMP promotes its biggest retreat in the Trade War with the world and reduces tariffs against China from 145% to just 30% until May 14. Meanwhile, the Chinese retreat will be to 10%, instead of the current 125%. The agreement, actually just a truce, lasts for 90 days, as usual.

In practice, if any not-so-shrewd businessman thought about moving his production out of China or building a factory on American soil, HE LOST A LOT OF MONEY and 90 days will only further delay investment decisions.

But it’s good news, and a layperson might think that the 3x difference in favor of the U.S. is a victory for Trump (and he will announce it as such). However, let’s remember that it was Trump who started the war and claimed that the high values would be permanent and would only change AFTER agreements beneficial to the U.S. This is: China balancing trade with Americans.

That hasn’t happened yet, and Trump finds himself pressured by the very businessmen and the public, with a decrease in trade, lack of products, and absurd increases in manufactured goods.

Meanwhile, China was using tariffs and targeted, surgical boycotts to force some retreat from Trump, betting precisely on internal pressure and a gradual erosion of popularity, inherent to Democracy and not occurring in China.

Trump opened a window of opportunities for those who want to invest in $BTC

An anti-Christ pope

Guys, China NEVER said it would do the same as the US. And it doesn't need to, because what Trump is doing is not intelligent. It imposes tariffs on soybeans, cars, airplanes... and buys (less) of the rest 👍

It can be 1 or 25. There is nothing that points to just one of these.

Is the dream of "America great again" over? Or has reality crushed Trump's despotic utopia? The truth is that the US is not in a good position to negotiate now.

Despite the GDP decline, it was only a surprise for those who believe what Trump says. So it didn't affect BTC. But there was the new setback of Trump negotiating with China. War is close to the end.

A second drop in GDP is not unlikely. Why would GDP rise with the significant drop that happened in American exports due to tariffs? How will it rise? Selling to whom?

The first GDP of the Trump Administration has been released!

But I haven’t seen anyone here talking about it. Surely because the news goes against the confirmation bias of the "investors" who base their investment decisions on passion for #TRUMP and #Musk .

The previous GDP, income, and employment data released between January and March still related to the quarter that ended in December last year, during the final days of the Biden administration. But strangely, many people celebrated as if it were a result of Trump! 😄

NOW that the celebration would be legitimate, because we finally have the first numbers that measure the impact of Trump's tariff and anti-immigration policies, as well as the investment climate and legal insecurity.

The American GDP FELL by 0.3% in the quarter after RISING 2.4% at the end of the Biden administration.

Comment below why this happened.

Who believes in a "turnaround" soon, with GDP going positive again, explain why this would happen.

For now, the enthusiasts and visionaries of $TRUMP actually have nothing to celebrate!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 That's why no one is commenting on this news.

Trump lies that he is talking to China while preparing another retreat under pressure from American businessmen.

The miracle expected by ZERO people happened: After being summoned by Xandão, Bolsonaro went straight from the ICU to home! He didn't even need to be observed after being discharged with high blood pressure!!!

You know you would be DEPORTED if you said something like that in the US, right?

There are "investors" so unintelligent here that they defend the judge's imprisonment... Haven't they learned that they have APPEALS and that they can even sue the judge? Comedy!
