The 'Trump Account' officially goes live on July 4, projected to inject $30–$50 billion in buying power into U.S. equities in its first year.

US Treasury official statements clarify that starting July 4, eligible US children’s accounts will automatically receive $1,000 in government seed funds, with the accounts officially launching for operation. The "Trump Child Investment Accounts" are projected to inject $30–50 billion in incremental funds into US stocks in their first year. Later, families and employers can contribute up to $5,000 per account annually, leading to hundreds of billions or more in stable long-term capital inflows that will underpin sustained buy-side support. The "Trump Accounts" (also known as 530A accounts) are tax-deferred investment account programs established by US President Trump on June 9, 2025 under the "Big and Beautiful" Act, created for US citizen children born between January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2029, as government-funded savings accounts. Initial funds for the accounts come primarily from government allocations, private donations, and household deposits. Each account receives a $1,000 initial federal grant; parents may add up to $5,000 annually. Account holders can withdraw 50% of funds at age 18, use the full amount for education or entrepreneurship at age 25, and face no restrictions on fund use at age 30. On the investment front, accounts are limited to low-cost investment funds or ETFs tracking broad market indices like the S&P 500, and cannot be used to invest in sector-specific or industry-specific indices. Fund usage is also restricted: before January 1 of the year the child turns 18 (the US legal age of majority), funds in the account cannot be withdrawn for any reason, except in cases of the child’s death or transfer to another similar restricted account. The program is scheduled to open for its first deposits on July 4, 2026—the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence—right ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, and is expected to become a key policy trump card for the Republican Party to win over voters.

Morgan Stanley warns: If the unemployment rate falls below 4%, the Federal Reserve may be forced to raise interest rates.

Morgan Stanley maintains its baseline forecast that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady this year, but warns the stance could shift toward rate hikes if the unemployment rate falls below 4% or inflation remains persistently high. Analyst Michael Gapen noted in a client report that data since the June FOMC meeting has left the firm "somewhat reassured" about its "no rate hike" baseline: oil prices have declined after the signing of the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, and the pass-through effect of tariffs is expected to peak. Morgan Stanley forecasts fourth-quarter headline and core PCE inflation at 3.2% and 3.0% respectively, well below the median expectation of FOMC participants. On the labor market front, the firm projects monthly job gains of 50,000 to 60,000 during the summer, enough to keep the unemployment rate roughly stable. However, Gapen warns that if the unemployment rate drops below 4.0%, the Fed may view the risk of an overheating labor market as sufficient to justify rate hikes; the firm would also reassess its stance if monthly core inflation stays at or above 0.3% or if Middle East conflicts escalate again. At the time of this assessment, Brent crude has fallen to around $72.6, and markets are closely watching upcoming employment and inflation data to calibrate policy expectations for the Fed under Chair Powell.

Trump issues a 100% tariff warning to European countries, demanding they scrap digital services taxes on U.S. companies.

Trump posted on Truth Social that numerous European countries are discussing imposing digital services taxes on U.S. companies, with some nations nearing actual implementation of the tax. He framed the statement as an official warning: any country that levies such taxes on U.S. firms will immediately face a 100% tariff on all goods exported to the U.S. This tariff will take precedence over any trade agreement signed or implemented with that country, regardless of whether the agreement is in force. Furthermore, if these countries proceed with the move, the 100% tariff will take effect immediately.

He Yi: We will not give up on establishing effective communication with EU regulatory authorities, and Binance will continue to adhere to compliance standards for the crypto industry.

Binance Co-CEO He Yi stated that any emerging industry will face varying degrees of regulatory and competitive challenges during its development, citing examples like Airbnb and Uber (Try asking AI which countries once banned them). However, this did not prevent them from becoming the greatest internet companies of the mobile internet era. Binance has always viewed encountered issues as opportunities to enhance its team’s capabilities and standards. Over the past years, we have set industry standards for user asset transparency and established the highest industry standards for compliance. While it may take time for EU regulators to build effective communication and trust with Binance, we will not give up and will continue to adhere to the global gold standard for compliance in the crypto industry. Compliance is a topic of great concern recently, which I believe marks progress for the industry, showing it is evolving from a wild growth phase to self-restraint and self-discipline. However, the lessons I have learned this time are: Companies that obtain licenses are not necessarily compliant or self-disciplined, while Binance’s adherence to the gold standard for compliance does not guarantee it will secure licenses. Our goal is far greater than competing with peers in trivial disputes, and we will hold ourselves to the highest industry standards. BlockBeats Note: The transitional grace period for the EU’s crypto regulation MiCA will officially end on July 1, 2026. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) previously called on unauthorized Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs) to exit relevant businesses in an orderly manner when the MiCA transition period concludes.

Trump condemns Iran for foolishly violating the ceasefire agreement

Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran launched at least four one-way attack drones at vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. One drone directly hit the upper deck of a large, high-value cargo ship. Although it caused some damage, the vessel was still able to continue sailing. We shot down the other three drones. Clearly, this is a foolish violation of our ceasefire agreement.
