📢📢Trump raises US tariffs on South Korea imports to 25%📢📢
$BTC US President Donald Trump has announced he is raising tariffs on South Korean imports to 25% after accusing Seoul of "not living up" to a trade deal reached last year.
In a post on social media, Trump said he would increase levies on South Korea from 15% across a range of products including automobiles, lumber, pharmaceuticals and "all other Reciprocal TARIFFS". $BNB Trump said South Korean lawmakers have been slow to approve the deal while "we have acted swiftly to reduce our TARIFFS in line with the Transaction agreed to".
South Korea says it had not been given official notice of the decision to raise tariffs on some of its goods, and wanted urgent talks with Washington over the issue.
$ETH It added that South Korea's Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan, who is currently in Canada, will visit Washington as soon as possible to meet US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi stock index fell on Tuesday morning but was trading about 1.8% higher later in the day as shares in major exporters recovered.
Seoul and Washington reached a deal last October, which included a pledge from South Korea to invest $350bn (£256bn) in the US, some of which would go to shipbuilding.
The following month, the two countries agreed that the US would reduce tariffs on some products once South Korea started the process to approve the deal.
The agreement was submitted to South Korea's National Assembly on 26 November and is currently being reviewed. It is likely to be passed in February, according to local media.
Tariffs are paid by companies who import products. In this case, US firms will pay a 25% tax on goods they buy from South Korea.
Trump has frequently used tariffs as leverage to enact foreign policy during his second term in the White House.
$BTC high-volatility range between $75,000 and $150,000 with a $110,000 center, representing one of the more conservative views among widely cited forecasts.
Charles Hoskinson of Cardano has floated a $250,000 scenario, arguing constrained supply could meet accelerating institutional demand.
Bull case for Bitcoin
$ETH The bull case for $150,000 to $250,000 rests on institutions absorbing available supply through ETFs, wealth platforms, and longer-horizon allocation strategies.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has estimated a base case of roughly $15 billion in crypto ETF inflows for 2026, with upside scenarios as high as $40 billion if market conditions improve.
G$BNB alaxy Digital’s 2026 outlook forecasts U.S. spot crypto ETF net inflows could exceed $50 billion as wealth management platforms and model portfolios broaden access.
Early 2026 flow data also showed a strong start, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drawing about $1.1 billion across the first two trading days, including a roughly $697 million net inflow on the second trading day. Though that was quickly wiped out across the next few weeks.#FedWatch #Mag7Earnings #SouthKoreaSeizedBTCLoss
$BTC 🚨🚨The Pakistani rupee registered marginal gain against the US dollar in the inter-bank market on Monday.🚨🚨
At close, the local currency settled at 279.85, a gain of Re0.01 against the greenback. $ETH The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) decided on Monday to keep its benchmark policy interest rate unchanged at 10.5% in its first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of 2026. SBP Governor Jameel Ahmad announced the decision in a press conference.
$BNB Inflation in Pakistan could be above 7% in some months of the current year’s second half, he said. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) would grow by 3.75% to 4.75% this year, Ahmad envisaged.
Internationally, the yen jumped to a more than two-month high on Monday as speculation mounted of coordinated currency intervention by authorities in the US after remarks from Tokyo’s prime minister and Japan’s leading currency diplomat.
Investors also scaled back their dollar positions ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting and a possible announcement by the Trump administration of a new Fed chair.
The yen rose by as much as 1.5% to 153.30 per dollar, its strongest since early November. It was last at 153.97.
The US dollar index, which measures the currency’s strength against a basket of six currencies, was down 0.1% at a four-month low of 97.14.
Meanwhile, spillover dollar selling on Monday helped push the euro and the British pound to four-month highs, while the Australian dollar hit its strongest since September 2024.
The euro was last up 0.2% at $1.1854, sterling was 0.1% higher at $1.3659, while the Aussie advanced 0.4% to $0.6922.
“The dollar has been fragile anyway, but the gain in the yen has been the precipitating trigger for the market to sell it across the board,” said Marc Chandler,
Oil prices, a key indicator of currency parity, steadied on Monday after climbing more than 2% in the previous session on output disruptions in US crude-producing regions and tensions between the US and Iran.#FedWatch
$BTC 📢📢Gold tops $5,000 for first time ever, adding to history..📢📢
$ETH The price of gold has risen above $5,000 (£3,659) an ounce for the first time ever, extending a historic rally that saw the precious metal jump by more than 60% in 2025.
$BNB It comes as tensions between the US and Nato over Greenland have added to growing concerns about financial and geopolitical uncertainty.
US President Donald Trump's trade policies have also worried markets. On Saturday he threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canada if it strikes a trade deal with China.
Gold and other precious metals are seen as so-called safe-haven assets that investors buy in times of uncertainty. On Friday, silver topped $100 an ounce for the first time, building on its almost 150% rise last year.#Mag7Earnings #SouthKoreaSeizedBTCLoss #ClawdbotTakesSiliconValley

Gold prices and the U.S. dollar have typically followed a predictable rhythm, but that dynamic could shift in 2026.Getty Images/iStockphoto
$BNB Gold prices have been making headlines over the last year, and the last several months in particular, as the price has surged past recent highs and set fresh records nearly every week. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index has been hovering near multi-month lows, marking a significant retreat from its highs just a year ago. For investors watching their portfolios, these parallel movements aren't coincidental. They're part of a long-standing dynamic that continues to reshape the investment landscape.
The relationship between gold and the U.S. dollar has taken on renewed importance as a number of looming issues, like economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and shifting monetary policies, create an environment where understanding this connection could mean the difference between protecting and eroding wealth. After a year that saw gold climb substantially and the dollar fall in tandem, investors are now confronting a fundamentally different market than they faced early last year.

Bitcoin hits Federal Reserve’s 2026 stress tests, creating a massive capital risk for banks
$ETH With IBIT near $70B and G-SIB broker-dealers acting as authorized participants, margin and liquidity shocks get harder to dismiss.

$ETH Pierre Rochard's call for the Federal Reserve to integrate Bitcoin into its stress tests came at an unusual moment: the Fed is soliciting public comment on its 2026 scenarios while simultaneously proposing new transparency requirements for how it builds and updates those models.
The timing creates a natural question that has nothing to do with whether Rochard's specific claims hold up: can the Fed ever treat Bitcoin as a stress-test variable without “adopting” it as policy?
The answer isn't about ideology. It's about plumbing.
The Fed won't mainstream Bitcoin because a former strategy chief asks nicely. But if bank exposures to Bitcoin through custody, derivatives, ETF intermediation, or prime-brokerage-style services become large enough to move capital or liquidity metrics in a repeatable way, the Fed may eventually be forced to model BTC price shocks the same way it models equity drawdowns or credit spreads.

$BNB AUD/USD’s recovery is starting to look more convincing. The pair is edging closer to a test of the 0.6800 area in the near term, while a broader push towards the psychologically important 0.7000 level is quietly starting to form in the background.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) has picked up fresh momentum, lifting AUD/USD to the 0.6780 area for the first time since early October 2024 and keeping the bullish tone intact for a third consecutive session.#WEFDavos2026 #TrumpCancelsEUTariffThreat #WhoIsNextFedChair

$BTC 📢📢📢U.S. Treasury Confirms That All Seized Bitcoin Will Join the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve📢📢
$ETH When asked about the U.S. government’s approach to Bitcoin and recent BTC seizures, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent re-affirmed that the administration will halt all sales of seized BTC and instead add it to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Bessent told journalist Christine Lee that the initiative is part of a larger effort to bring digital-asset innovation onto U.S. soil while keeping federal oversight of seized cryptocurrency
This sentiment comes from questions about the government’s handling of BTC seized from developers linked to Tornado Cash in the Southern District of New York as well as the handling of bitcoin from Samourai Wallet developers.
$XRP While Bessent declined to comment on ongoing litigation, he emphasized that any seized BTC would be retained by the federal government after legal damages are resolved, rather than being sold at auction as in prior years.
🚨🚨Gold Price Today at All-Time-High but Profit-Taking Risk at $4,76🚨🚨
$BNB Gold futures today are trading near record highs after a powerful multi-month rally, placing the market at a critical technical junction where momentum remains strong but profit-taking risk is rising. This gold technical analysis (including my video from today) explains why the current zone matters for near-term price action and how traders are assessing the next move.
Gold Technical Analysis: Gold Futures Today Test Record Levels as Momentum Stretches
Date: August 20, 2026 Asset: Gold Futures (GC1!) Market: COMEX Analyst: Itai Levitan, InvestingLive.com, see my gold futures technical analysis video, for today and this week, below:
This gold technical analysis focuses on a critical moment for gold futures today, as prices surge +2.84% to trade near $4,725.7, effectively matching the 52-week high at $4,727.6. With gold sitting at record territory after a historic rally, traders and investors are now asking whether upside momentum can continue - or whether profit-taking risk is beginning to rise.
$ETH Gold is up nearly 71% year-on-year and almost 38% over the past six months, an extraordinary move for a traditionally defensive asset. That context is essential for any realistic gold price forecast going forward.
Global markets are in a state of heightened volatility as Gold tops $4,700 for the first time as the surge higher continues amidst a scramble for safe-haven assets. This rally is largely driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, specifically reports that Trump is threatening tariffs on Greenland if European allies block his bid to purchase the territory—a move Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent argues is "very different" from typical trade disputes due to its national security implications. As investors hedge against this uncertainty, Silver jumps to a new all-time high, riding the same wave of fear that is lifting gold. $BTC

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the American currency's performance versus six peers, is down 0.36% to 99.02. US Treasury yields rose nearly six basis points on Friday, with the 10-year T-note yield up at 4.227%.$BTC
