CNBC Daily Open: Solid earnings beats might mask tariff volatility these two weeks
Friday, Aug. 1 — the "hard deadline" of U.S. President Donald Trump's updated tariffs — is less than two weeks away. Investors, however, seem mostly unbothered thus far. For last week, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped marginally, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose 0.6% and 1.5% respectively. Even a report that Trump wanted a minimum of 15%-20% tariffs on the European Union only dealt a minimal blow to markets, which mostly closed unchanged Friday. Although those figures are higher than the universal 10% baseline tariff Trump reportedly wanted — and which the EU is hoping to secure — they are still lower than the 30% Trump said he will impose on the bloc in his July 12 letter. An upbeat start to earnings season has alsohelped to quell tariff fears for now. Around 83% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings have exceeded expectations, according to FactSet data. In particular, big banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which serve as barometers for economic activity, had solid beats, boosting investor sentiment. Next in the spotlight are Big Tech earnings, which will be released in the weeks right before Aug. better than expected, they might dispel geopolitical jitters — or cause investors to dismiss trade fears too readily. In these stormy times, every silver lining has a dark cloud. Aug. 1 is a 'hard deadline' for new tariffs. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that the tariffs will take effect next month, but left open the possibility of continuing trade negotiations after the date. Trump wants a minimum tariff of 15%-20% on the EU. The Financial Times, which cited three people briefed on trade talks between the U.S. and the bloc, reported the news Friday. The European Union had been hoping for a deal similar to the U.K.'s. Scott Bessent reportedly urged Trump not to fire Jerome Powell. However, the U.S. president denied a Wall Street Journal report that Bessent had warned him about the potential economic, political and legal consequences of dismissing the Federal Reserve Chair. U.S. stock futures are little changed Sunday stateside. On Friday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed around the flatline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, lost 0.32%. The Stoxx Europe 600 was mostly unchanged. [PRO] The Magnificent Seven are due to report earnings. Alphabet and Tesla will announce their second-quarter financial results Wednesday. If they top the results that investors are expecting, markets could receive a boost. '30% is untenable': From Irish whiskey to Italian cheese, Trump's tariff threat rattles EU exporters Along the "last road in Ireland," on the country's rugged west coast, June O'Connell's business Skellig Six18 makes gin and whiskey — a time-intensive process guided by the wind, rain and cool temperatures that roll in year-round off the Atlantic. America was a natural target market once their first spirits were ready to sell in 2019, according to O'Connell, given its strong familiarity with Ireland and big appetite for premium drinks.

Slovenia to ban Smotrich, Ben-Gvir for 'genocidal statements' against Palestinians
Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon announced Slovenia will become the first European Union member state to ban the two ministers from entering the country. Slovenia will ban Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon announced after a cabinet session on Thursday. Fajon stated that the two will be declared personae non grata following accusations against them inciting "extreme violence and serious violations of the human rights of Palestinians" with "their genocidal statements." Slovenia will become the first member of the European Union to ban the two ministers. Recent sanctions against Ben-Gvir, Smotrich In June, Britain joined Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and others in sanctioning the two ministers over comments regarding Gaza and Palestinians that British Foreign Secretary David Lammy described as 'monstrous.' US Ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens wrote in response: "The United States stands firmly in support of Israel. The United States is deeply concerned by the recent decision to impose sanctions on democratically elected officials of the State of Israel. "These measures impede constructive dialogue and do not advance our shared goals of supporting peace and security. The United States will continue to focus our collective efforts on defeating Hamas, securing the release of all hostages, helping to create an enduring peace, and promoting Israel's security and regional prosperity."
