The intersection of regulatory wins and tariff pains in today's financial landscape. |
Good morning, folks. While politicians in D.C. play chess with our economy, passing bills that might actually lighten the regulatory load on crypto, Trump's tariffs are jacking up copper prices like a bad bet at the casino. It's a classic case of government giving with one hand and taking with the other—reminds me why self-reliance beats waiting on bureaucrats. Let's dive into the data that matters for your portfolio. – Truly yours, Fred Frost |
📈 Yesterday's Market RecapMarkets closed higher yesterday, buoyed by softer wholesale inflation data and reassurances from Trump that firing Fed Chair Powell is 'highly unlikely.' The Dow climbed 0.53% amid mixed earnings, while tech saw volatility but ended green, signaling cautious optimism despite tariff jitters.

🔥 The Big BulletWhat happened: The House passed the GENIUS Act 215-211, advancing stablecoin regulation toward Trump's desk. This partisan win, backed solely by Republicans, resolves internal GOP rifts and pairs with anti-CBDC measures. Meanwhile, Trump's 50% copper tariff sparked a 13% price surge, the biggest in decades. Combined with his 'One Big Beautiful Bill' extending tax cuts, it's a mixed bag of deregulation and protectionism. Why it matters: For investors, this could clarify crypto frameworks, boosting stablecoin adoption while warding off CBDC overreach—aligning with free-market ideals. But copper's spike raises costs for industries like EVs and construction, potentially fueling inflation without quick domestic supply ramps. It's government intervention at its finest: solving one problem while creating another. What’s next: Expect a final vote soon; if signed, watch for crypto market rallies. Tariffs may prompt stockpiling, but long-term, higher borrowing costs from rising debt could pressure rates.
