Canada announces retaliatory measures on US steel, aluminum tariffs

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory measures on U.S. steel and aluminum during a press conference on Thursday. "President Trump and I agreed to pursue negotiations towards a deal within the coming thirty days," Carney said. "Canada will adjust its existing counter tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum products on the 21st of July — at the end of that thirty days. In other words, we're going to adjust them to levels consistent with the progress that's made at that point on the broader trading arrangements with the United States," Carney said.

Elon Musk Just Turned X Into Wall Street's Newest Rival -- And It's Just the Beginning

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is inching closer to becoming a full-blown fintech ecosystem. CEO Linda Yaccarino told the Financial Times that users will soon be able to invest or trade directly on the apppart of Elon Musk's grander vision to turn X into a U.S. version of China's WeChat. That includes everything from peer-to-peer payments via X Money to digital tipping and possibly even credit or debit cards, which could arrive as early as this year. The rollout will begin in the U.S., with Visa onboard as a launch partner, before expanding to other markets. The move comes as X tries to climb out of its post-acquisition slump. Since Musk's $44 billion takeover, advertising revenue has dropped sharply, and the platform has battled both reputational damage and advertiser boycotts. Yaccarino says 96% of pre-acquisition advertisers have returned and expects revenue to rebound to 2022 levels super soon. But not everyone's convinced. Some advertisers remain wary, citing concerns over brand safety, content toxicity, and reports of pressure to spend or face legal action. Research firm Emarketer sees X's 2025 revenue reaching $2.3 billion, up from $1.9 billion last yearbut still far below the $4.1 billion it generated when Musk first took the reins. There's also a tech twist. In March, Musk folded X into his AI startup xAI in a $45 billion deal. Yaccarino believes this will double the engineering horsepower behind the platform and help deliver smarter, real-time ad targeting around trending content. While X may face serious regulatory friction as it pushes into payments and investing, the potential upside is significant. If it works, X could carve out a unique lane that blends trading, tipping, and transacting in one appterritory even Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) hasn't touched. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

On Juneteenth, President Trump says America has "too many non-working holidays"

President Trump appeared to mark Juneteenth on Thursday with a Truth Social post arguing the United States has "too many non-working holidays." "It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every … working day of the year," Mr. Trump wrote. "It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" The post did not explicitly mention Juneteenth. CBS News has reached out to the White House for comment. The holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. after the Civil War — specifically, the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and belatedly announced that enslaved people were freed. Juneteenth has been a federal holiday since 2021. Federal and state government offices are generally closed as a result, along with banks and stock exchanges, but private businesses aren't required to close for Juneteenth or any other holiday, and many retail establishments remain open. When asked earlier Thursday if the president planned to commemorate Juneteenth, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: "I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today. I know this is a federal holiday. I want to thank all of you for showing up to work. We are certainly here. We're working 24/7 right now." Mr. Trump honored Juneteenth during his first term, including in 2017, when he called it "a historic day recognizing the end of slavery." He issued similar messages in 2018 and 2019, and in 2020, he said during an interview that he "made Juneteenth very famous" — referring to his decision not to hold a campaign rally in Oklahoma on the holiday. "It's actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it," Mr. Trump said in a 2020 interview with The Wall Street Journal. Former President Joe Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth an official federal holiday in 2021, after the measure passed both houses of Congress with overwhelming bipartisan margins. One longtime backer of the holiday is Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas.

This Self-Driving Car Stock Is Heating Up as Tesla Puts the Spotlight on Robotaxis. Should You Buy It Here?

Innoviz (INVZ) shares have been in focus in recent sessions as Tesla's (TSLA) upcoming launch of robotaxi services in Austin keeps investors particularly interested in self-driving car stocks. However, the company that specializes in LiDAR sensors is not riding on speculation only. In fact, Innoviz has just landed two major agreements that could boost its capabilities as well as the stock price. Trump Is Giving Tesla's Robotaxis a Leg Up Ahead of June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock Now? Dear Nvidia Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 16 The Trump Family Is Betting Big on Mobile Phones. Should Apple Stock Investors Be Worried? Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! On Wednesday, Innoviz stock is up some 20% on the back of a deal with Cogniteam and another with a renowned global automaker. Innoviz has signed a 'Statement of Development Work' with a top-5 global automaker to supply its InnovizTwo LiDAR system for a Level 3 autonomous driving vehicle slated for production in 2027. INVZ will soon begin delivering hundreds of tailored sensors and software modules, positioning the company as a Tier-1 partner. This agreement accelerates the Nasdaq-listed firm's move into the mass-market automotive space and opens the door to large-scale production deals. For Innoviz stock, this means three significant benefits: near-term revenue from early deliveries, long-term upside tied to a production contract, and validation from a blue-chip OEM. As CEO Omer Keilaf said in a recent press release, working with 'one of the most respected automotive manufacturers' boosts INVZ's credibility and market positioning. Innoviz's collaboration with Cogniteam, announced this morning, integrates the latter's AIoT analytics into InnovizSMART Long-Range LiDAR. The outcome? A plug-and-play solution that finds far-reaching applications within the safety and security niche. This deal helps diversify INVZ's revenue streams beyond automotive manufacturing. It taps into the fast-growing security and surveillance market – which typically offers higher margins and quicker sales cycles. In short, the Cogniteam partnership underscores Innoviz's ability to leverage the same LiDAR tech in versatile, value-added applications – enhancing its competitive moat. Despite an explosive rally over the past two months, Wall Street analysts continue to see significant further upside in Innoviz stock. According to Barchart, the consensus rating on INVZ shares remain at 'Strong Buy' with the mean target of $2.41 indicating potential upside of roughly 80% from current levels.
