[50% Tariffs Under Pressure! Brazilian President "Can Call Anytime," What's Trump Up To?] ⑴ US President Trump said Brazilian President Lula da Silva could call him anytime to discuss tariffs and friction between the two countries. ⑵ Trump said he likes the Brazilian people, but "the people who run Brazil are doing the wrong thing." ⑶ He announced tariffs of up to 50% on Brazil to counter what he called a "political persecution" against former President Jair Bolsonaro. ⑷ Brazilian Finance Minister Haddad called Trump's remarks "very good" and believed Lula shared the same view. ⑸ Lula posted on social media that Brazil has always been open to dialogue, but he did not directly mention Trump. ⑹ Lula had previously criticized Trump's sanctions and tariffs as "unjustified" and "unacceptable" interference. ⑺ Haddad revealed that his online meeting with the US Treasury Secretary would pave the way for an eventual meeting between Lula and Trump, but noted that this would require thorough preparation. ⑻ Haddad said earlier this week that Brazil needs assurances that Lula will not be treated like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

[The crude oil market is undergoing a sudden shift! Africa's "black gold" exports have plummeted, what's the trajectory of oil prices?] ⑴ Traders are digesting news of reduced Nigerian crude oil exports due to the impact of domestic refineries. ⑵ One trader stated that due to the seasonal slowdown in demand and upcoming refinery maintenance, reduced crude oil demand is expected to weaken the crude oil spread. ⑶ Sources report that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) will ship five cargoes of crude oil to the Dangote Refinery in September. ⑷ Preliminary data indicates that Nigeria's average daily exports of four major crude oil grades in September were approximately 758,000 barrels. ⑸ This figure is lower than the planned 864,000 barrels per day in August. ⑹ This suggests that the impact of Nigeria's domestic refineries on the country's crude oil exports is becoming apparent.

Did July's non-farm payroll data trigger a "seismic shift"? Trump fires Labor Department chief, potentially shifting market sentiment. ⑴ US President Trump ordered the dismissal of the director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, citing weaker-than-expected July employment data. ⑵ Data showed only 73,000 new jobs added in July. ⑶ Meanwhile, employment data for May and June were significantly revised downward, resulting in a combined decrease of 258,000 jobs compared to previously reported figures. ⑷ Economists attribute the significant slowdown in job growth to the Trump administration's trade and immigration policies. ⑸ Uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs makes long-term planning difficult for businesses. ⑹ Trump accused the fired official of fabricating data, but he offered no evidence. ⑺ The Bureau of Labor Statistics is responsible for compiling the highly anticipated employment report and consumer and producer price data. ⑻ Trump also targeted the Federal Reserve Chairman, believing he should also be fired.

[A Brake on the Brink: UK Car Loan Crisis Takes a Plot Twist, Leaving Banking Giants in Shock] ⑴ The UK Supreme Court overturned a landmark ruling on car finance commissions, bringing relief to the banking industry, which had previously been nervous about huge payouts. ⑵ This ruling reverses a 2024 ruling that had shaken the industry and pressured the share prices of the banks involved. ⑶ Analysts had warned that this could become another costly scandal facing the UK banking industry after the Payment Protection Insurance scandal, with total payouts potentially reaching tens of billions of pounds. ⑷ The Supreme Court ruled that car dealers do not owe a fiduciary duty to their customers, and therefore lenders are not liable for commissions. ⑸ Despite this, lenders may still face compensation claims in some cases of overcharging, but the overall size of the payouts is expected to be significantly reduced. ⑹ The Financial Conduct Authority said it will confirm whether to consult on a compensation plan before the market opens next Monday. ⑺ The ruling also eased concerns from the UK Treasury, which had previously worried that not overturning the original ruling would make it more difficult for consumers to obtain car loans and could damage investment in the UK financial services industry. ⑻ Although the Supreme Court overturned the ruling that "commissions constituted bribes," one plaintiff was awarded £1,650 in compensation for an "unfair" relationship with the lender. ⑼ The head of KPMG's UK banking division stated that despite the verdict, affected lenders still need to prepare for large-scale customer compensation that could arrive early next year.

Vance and the Labor Department touted US jobs data, earning Trump's dislike. U.S. Vice President Cyril Vance and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer attempted to put a positive spin on weak jobs data. Vance retweeted a chart on Twitter showing an increase in the number of native-born workers and a decrease in the employment rate for foreign-born workers, claiming this was a result of the Trump administration's immigration policies. Chavez-DeRemer stated that while the data revisions were unexpected, job growth has remained positive since Trump returned to the White House, claiming that nearly 500,000 new jobs have been created since Trump took office, in sectors such as healthcare and construction. However, hours later, their boss, Trump, fired the person overseeing the data and claimed, without evidence, that the dismal report was politically motivated. (Refinitiv)
