๐จ12 HOUR NEWS RECAP
1. Global markets were in chaos just one hour after Trump's sweeping new tariffs took effect. U.S 30-year Treasury yields spiked 20 basis points, while Japanese stocks hit session lows. China orchestrated a controlled yuan drop, and South Korea announced an aid package to buffer the shock.
2. Facing 104% U.S import duties and a shaken market, Beijing rushed top officials into a high-level meeting to stop the bleeding and calm the chaos. On the table: stimulus measures, export tax rebates, and a desperate attempt to revive consumer confidence.

4. Germany's Alternative fรผr Deutschland (AfD) party is soaring in popularity, topping the polls at 24.5% nationally and dominating in eastern Germany with over 30% support as voters are demanding pragmatic policies - especially on immigration, security, and national identity.
5. Iran has quietly handed off long-range missiles to proxy militias in Iraq for the first time - just days before it's set to sit down with the U.S for nuclear talks. The rockets, smuggled in by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, can reportedly reach as far as Europe.
