The rest of the world did not waste time responding to the Trump administration’s historically expansive tariffs. Canada placed 25% retaliatory tariffs on US vehicles. China promised countermeasures, saying Trump’s plan amounted to “unilateral bullying.” France and Germany pushed for an aggressive response, with French Prime Minister François Bayrou calling the tariffs “a catastrophe for the economic world.” French President Emmanuel Macron, meanwhile, urged companies to pause investments in the US. Japan called the tariffs “extremely regrettable.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen did not specify the bloc’s response, but said it will be united: “If you take on one of us, you take on all of us.”

South Korea’s top court voted unanimously to dismiss the country’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Friday, clearing the way for the key American ally to elect a new leader after months of political turmoil that has tested its democratic guardrails.
In a ruling that millions of South Koreans watched on live television, the Constitutional Court’s eight justices endorsed the National Assembly’s decision to impeach Mr. Yoon for his failed attempt to place his country under martial law in December. With that ruling, Mr. Yoon, who had been suspended from office since the parliamentary vote on Dec. 14, was formally unseated.
Natural Gas Price Forecast: Bullish Reversal Signals Further Upside Potential

Natural gas held up well on Thursday, given global market turmoil following a new announcement on tariffs from the U.S. It looks like a bearish pullback low was established at $3.93 this week, as a bullish reversal of an inside day triggered on Thursday. Subsequently, a three-day high of $4.20 was reached before an intraday pullback began.
The bullish one-day reversal also reclaimed the 20-day MA at $4.07. A daily close above Wednesday’s high of $4.09 will confirm the bullish reversal, and a daily close above the 20-Day line will confirm that breakout. Although weakness followed the daily high, natural gas continues to trade in the top half of the day’s trading range defined by the $4.09 midpoint. Natural Gas PricingHERE
