Since the beginning of July, investors have been lending to Italy at a lower rate than that demanded for France. Indeed, the curve has inverted for the first time since 2005, weakening Paris's position in the hierarchy of sovereign risk in the euro area. Yet, France maintains a better rating.

An express negotiation is underway to prevent a shift to a tariff confrontation.

On the eve of July 4th, the U.S. Congress passed one of the most radical budget texts of the modern era. Championed by Donald Trump, this law reshapes America's economic priorities with massive tax cuts, social spending reductions, and a sharply rising debt. The vote, secured despite Republican fractures, marks a strategic turning point in the post-Biden era. More than just a budget, it is a political declaration that reshuffles the cards of power and reignites ideological tensions in Washington.

As the global geopolitical balance weakens, Rio will host a tense BRICS summit on July 6 and 7, 2025. Designed as a counterweight to the G7, the bloc struggles to embody the unity of the global South. Internal disagreements, Xi Jinping's absence, and Donald Trump's offensive comeback: the 17th edition illustrates less of a rise in power than a questioning of the strategic coherence among its members. In an era of multipolar ambitions, the BRICS are facing a crisis of legitimacy as much as a test of international credibility.

While the stock market progresses timidly, it is the dollar that falters, weakened by the dual pressure of the new trade taxes imposed by Donald Trump and the ongoing hesitation of the Federal Reserve.

The apparent calm conceals a palpable nervousness: that of a market that knows that everything can tip at the slightest jolt.

The Chinese president is withdrawing for the first time since 2013, while his Russian counterpart remains in the Kremlin, targeted by an arrest warrant from the ICC.

Has the crypto casino definitely closed its doors? Probably. There are signs that cannot be mistaken...

While Wall Street sets more records, the dollar is collapsing at an unprecedented rate since 1973. This wide gap is not trivial. It reflects a global shift fueled by geopolitical tensions, a Federal Reserve under political pressure, and macroeconomic uncertainties. The benchmarks are crumbling, and markets are seeking safe havens. In this silent but brutal reconfiguration, cryptocurrencies are once again asserting themselves in the strategic landscape, propelled by their decentralized logic in the face of state currency instability.

"Driven by an unexpected easing in the Middle East and a resurgence of stock market optimism, the S&P 500 closed this Thursday at 6,141.02 points, nearing its all-time high.

Russia no longer tests. It imposes. By decreeing the mandatory integration of the digital ruble into the national banking and commercial system, Moscow leaves no room for doubt. The transition to a controlled, programmable, and centralized currency is underway. Gone are the ambiguities of experimentation, making way for the architecture of an unprecedented monetary system where each transaction could, tomorrow, be traced, regulated... or even blocked. This choice is not merely technological: it is political, strategic, almost ideological. For behind the apparent modernization of payments lies a much larger game.

In an economic climate marked by geopolitical tensions and a wait-and-see approach regarding the Fed's decisions, Morgan Stanley disrupts the consensus. The investment bank anticipates seven rate cuts in 2026, starting in March, with a terminal rate between 2.5% and 2.75%. This sharp projection, published on June 25th, contrasts with the prevailing caution and reignites debates about the U.S. monetary calendar.

Despite a decline in profits, companies in the CAC 40 are increasingly attentive to their shareholders. In 2024, they maintain record payouts, contrary to traditional economic signals. In an environment marked by sluggish growth, rising inflation, and unstable markets, this strategy raises questions. Is it a sign of strength or a risky bet? While shareholder profitability remains a priority, the gap between distributed profits and actual performance raises doubts about the sustainability of this model.
