TRENDING STORIES
Stock Markets Slide As Trump's Tariffs Take Effect
The US stock market recorded a slide after President Trump reaffirmed the 25% Mexico and Canada tariffs will start Today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.8%. The S&P 500 showed the worst day of 2025 as it posted 1.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2.6%. Nvidia shares plummeted 9% amid reports of AI chips reaching China despite export controls. Investors are also wary of upcoming tariffs on Canada and Mexico, set to take effect tomorrow. Additionally, oil prices fell 2% as OPEC announced plans to restart some of its curbed production. The market remains volatile as traders navigate these challenges, expecting more chaos when retaliatory tariffs from Mexico, Canada, and China land.- Yahoo Finance.
Other reports have shown a similar effect on the Mexican stock market. Go here for a list of targeted US products to suffer Canada's retaliatory tariffs.
Prada Closes in on a Versace Buy
So, Capri Holdings is set to sell Versace to Prada for $1.6 billion. We understand this can make Pada the biggest player in the luxury fashion industry, but at the moment, the news has shot up both their stock to about 7% in New York for Versace and 3.5% in Hong Kong for Prada. Bloomberg News first reported this on Sunday, suggesting the deal could be finalized this month.- Markets Insider.

Russia-Ukraine War Update: US Aid Halt
My Take: Only yesterday in Issue 22, I shared how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed interest in signing the US mineral deal that gives Washington financial benefits for helping Ukraine in a truce, even if Trump has repeatedly refused to commit any US military force as a backup to European troops who might act as peacekeepers. Well, President Donald Trump has made good on that threat and halted military aid scheduled for Ukraine today.- France24.
Let's analyze quickly why US support is crucial for Ukraine and why it holds all the aces. As it stands, Europe provides more military aid to Ukraine, but when you consider that a single country puts in 40% of aid to Ukraine, you'll understand why the United States plays a dominant role in the fate of this Russia-Ukraine war. Their sophisticated air defense systems, IMARS and ATACM long-range missiles, and space-based surveillance are just a few of the advantages, matched by none, to come from a United State's support..- BBC.
To wrap this up. The United States contributes to global aid more than any one country, and under President Trump, it is set to gain ground. The Ukraine situation has finally made Europe sit up to its responsibilities. One of many good things to come out of Trump's brash moves, you would say.
