Markets

📊 Trump says China's Xi is 'extremely hard to make a deal with'
Trump says cutting a deal with Xi is “extremely hard,” cooling hopes for progress in US-China trade talks. On Truth Social, he called Xi "VERY TOUGH," despite saying he likes him. China hit back, accusing the U.S. of breaching agreements and promising to defend its interests. The fragile truce, marked by recent tariff cuts, is shaky.

😡 Elon Musk Attacks Trump’s big beautiful bill
Elon Musk went scorched-earth on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination” packed with pork spending. His timing, mid-White House press briefing, caught Trump’s camp off guard. Here’s the 4 likely reasons behind the outburst.

🌎️ U.S. global growth outlooks slashed on tariff impacts
The OECD just dropped a gloomy forecast, slashing U.S. and global growth projections and blaming trade barriers and inflation risks.

• U.S. growth now pegged at 1.6% for 2025, down from 2.2%.

• Global GDP trimmed to 2.9%, with inflation still a major threat.

• Tariffs, shaky confidence, and policy uncertainty are dragging down the outlook.

• One hopeful note: A quick rollback of trade barriers could flip the script.

©️ Michael Saylor’s bitcoin imitators are multiplying
Michael Saylor’s bitcoin playbook is catching fire, and corporate America is taking notes. From GameStop to Trump-linked media firms, 80+ companies have now jumped on the “bitcoin standard,” using debt and equity to stack crypto on their balance sheets. Strategy (MSTR), Saylor’s firm, holds over 580,000 bitcoins worth $40B. and its stock has skyrocketed 2,900% since 2020. With public companies now holding 3.4% of all bitcoin, this trend shows no signs of slowing down.

🇺🇸 National Debt Tracker ($36,214,400,664,854.53)
The U.S. national debt just hit $36.2 trillion, and it’s only getting worse. Despite a $1.4 billion dip in one day, the long-term trend is grim. Economists warn that rising interest rates and ballooning health costs will push the debt to $54 trillion within a decade. Interest payments now outpace both Medicare and defense spending, a stark sign of how deep the hole is getting.

Housing

In a new post, Ben Carlson breaks down what’s quickly becoming a buyer’s market in the housing market.

After a pandemic-era surge, price cuts are everywhere as buyers hold out for better mortgage rates. Carlson suggests Florida’s boom may have pulled demand forward, and what we’re seeing now is a correction.

But this isn’t just regional. Redfin reports sellers now outnumber buyers by 33.7% nationwide, the widest gap since 2013. For the first time in years, buyers can negotiate, even throw in low-ball offers. The catch? Inventory is still tight, keeping things competitive despite the shift in power.
