πŸ”₯ Top News This Hour

  • Lula slams US tariffs: After a phone call with President Trump, Brazilian President Lula said US tariffs on Brazil are “not only completely out of touch with reality but also built on lies,” extending the trade-war front from Canada to South America.
  • Iran escalates military rhetoric: Iran’s armed forces spokesman said “Iran’s military strategy has shifted from defensive to offensive,” that “any aggression will be met with an immediate response, potentially larger than the act itself,” and that the US “has already declined and lost international prestige.”
  • Europe heatwave crisis: French data shows this summer’s heatwave has caused over 30,000 excess deaths in Europe (estimates exceed 32,000).

🧭 Situation Assessment

The US trade war front is expanding from Canada to Brazil, widening tariff confrontation and raising global trade uncertainty, which continues to support safe-haven assets.

Iran’s “shift to offensive” military stance is more substantive than earlier verbal rhetoric, and geopolitical risk premium may be repriced into oil.

Markets are closed for the weekend; gold and crude quotes reflect Friday’s close, and Monday’s open will need to digest both geopolitical and trade variables.
