Beyond cryptocurrencies, Kraken has introduced commissionfree trading for more than 11,000 equities and ETFs listed in the United States. The service initially launched in a few U.S. states with intentions to expand into foreign markets like the UK, Europe, and Australia. By fusing traditional finance with digital assets, Kraken lets customers handle cash, stocks, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency on a single platform. Fractional trading, which enables customers to purchase expensive stocks at a lower cost, is crucial. The action aligns with Krakens overarching plan to tokenise assets, allowing trading to be done anywhere, at any time. Offering a smooth, contemporary trading experience across several asset classes represents a substantial change in bridging the gap between cryptocurrency and traditional finance. The launch supports Krakens efforts to promote innovation and financial accessibility. Read More..

China and Vietnam Sign 40 Agreements on Trade, Railways, and Digital Economy

Amid growing trade tensions between the United States and China, Chinese President Xi Jinping has started his trip to Southeast Asia, beginning in Vie

Amid growing trade tensions between the United States and China, Chinese President Xi Jinping has started his trip to Southeast Asia, beginning in Vietnam. His visit coincides with Vietnam negotiating a 46% tariff reduction that would go into effect in July, while Beijing faces 145% U.S. duties. With an emphasis on collaboration in the digital economy, agricultural commerce, and railroads, Xi and Vietnamese officials inked 40 agreements. Although specifics remain unknown, China has also promised further loans for crossborder train connections. Vietnams antidumping penalties on Chinese steel and the South China Sea issues complicate matters despite the countrys close economic relations. To boost regional commerce and stave off economic pressure from the US, Xi is travelling to Malaysia and Cambodia. His visit highlights Chinas efforts to forge stronger ties with Southeast Asia in the face of changing global trade trends. Read More..

Taiwanese Tech Stocks Surge, But Future Trade Policies Remain Uncertain

The U.S. temporarily lifted tariffs on necessary equipment, such as laptops, cellphones, and AI servers, which caused Taiwanese tech stocks to soar. In line with market optimism, major Apple suppliers Foxconn, Quanta, and Inventec reported rises of 4% to 7%. However, Donald Trumps announcement of impending semiconductor tariffs caused TSMC, the biggest contract chipmaker in the world, to go negative, igniting concerns about future trade policy. The exemptions offer some respite, but analysts caution that there is still uncertainty surrounding more extensive U.S.China trade talks. Since investors are closely monitoring additional tariff developments, the market response highlights how unstable global tech supply networks are. Read More..

Goldman Sachs Predicts Oil Price Decline Through 2026 Amid Surplus Concerns

Due to massive stockpiles and slow demand growth, Goldman Sachs predicts that oil prices will continue to fall through 2026. Analysts estimate the exc

Due to massive stockpiles and slow demand growth, Goldman Sachs predicts that oil prices will continue to fall through 2026. Analysts estimate the excess will reach 800,000 barrels per day in 2025 and 1.4 million barrels per day in 2026. While WTI may drop to $55 per barrel, Brent crude is predicted to average $63 per barrel in 2025 and $58 per barrel in 2026. Trade disputes, OPEC+ loosening supply restrictions, and poor global economic development are the main causes of the decline. Goldman Sachs cautions that Brent prices may fall to about $40 if OPEC+ reverses the voluntary output curbs. This forecast shapes expectations for the oil market in the upcoming years by highlighting worries about oversupply and recession risks. Read More..

Ahead of a $20 billion IMF agreement, Argentina has announced a significant change in its foreign exchange policy, lifting longstanding currency controls. In place of the previously strictly regulated regime, the central bank will permit the peso to fluctuate within a moving range of 1,000 to 1,400 pesos per dollar. Argentina will also remove the "dollar clamp" and other limitations on access to foreign currencies that have restricted financial transactions. To recapitalise the central bank and stabilise reserves, the IMF accord calls for an initial $12 billion transfer. In contrast to Argentinas prior monetary policies, officials anticipate that these actions will increase investment and economic growth. Read More..

South African Businesses Brace for VAT Hike Starting May 1, 2025

Businesses in South Africa are bracing for a twoyear, onepercentagepoint increase in VAT scheduled to take effect on May 1, 2025. The 15% increase will especially impact small businesses, resulting in price adjustments and declining profit margins. Despite government efforts to increase the number of zerorated items, economists caution that the tax increase may reduce consumer expenditure, impacting middle and lowerincome households. The surge occurs during a difficult period when trade uncertainties, power outages, and economic instability burden firms. While some businesses see potential for adaptation, others worry that the tax burden would make an already precarious economy even more financially burdensome. To counteract such disruptions, business leaders are requesting incentives and regulatory help. Read More..
