Fed's Williams won't comment on Trump attacks on central bank
By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams declined on Wednesday to comment on President Donald Trump's attacks on the central bank and what it might mean if the president were to somehow remove the Fed's leader from office. 'I can't comment' on what the president has said and how markets reacted, Williams told reporters. He was commenting on reports from earlier in the day that suggested Trump was close to firing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, even as the president later said that was not something he was planning to do. Williams reiterated that an independent central bank delivers better results and noted that in his experience Fed officials and staff maintain a 'laser like' focus on the central bank's mission. Williams also told reporters that amid a drop in the dollar's value, its status as the preeminent reserve currency remains unchanged. 'There are a lot of fundamental factors that support the role of the dollar … in global trade and in global financial markets, and that I see is unchanged now.' Sign in to access your portfolio

Trump Vows Coca-Cola Will Use Cane Sugar In U.S. Sodas — But Did Anyone Tell Coke?
Attempting to dismiss the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as a 'hoax' wasn't the only thing President Donald Trump did on Wednesday: He also made a bold claim that Coca-Cola was making a big change to its flagship product. The president took to his Truth Social platform to declare that the soft drink manufacturer had agreed to replace the corn syrup used to sweeten Cokes in the U.S. with cane sugar: I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better! There's just one teeny tiny issue with the president's statement: So far, Coca-Cola hasn't confirmed that company officials have agreed to go along with the plan. The closest anyone can find is a link on the Coca-Cola website that has this very broad, open-to-interpretation statement — and not anything close to a confirmation: We appreciate President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca‑Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca‑Cola product range will be shared soon. Considering that Trump announced the news at a time when his followers aren't happy about his recent handling of the Epstein scandal, it's no wonder that the Coke announcement ― which, again, was made without the company's official confirmation ― was thoroughly mocked. Many people assumed the president was trying to create a distraction to draw attention away from other aspects of his presidency. Oh thank god! I've totally forgotten about the Epstein files now! — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) July 16, 2025 Cool, now release the Epstein files. We're not changing the subject. — Warren (@swd2) July 16, 2025 What Trump did today:- Forgot he appointed Fed Chair Powell during his first term- Yelled at a reporter to be quiet- Said he can't appoint special counsel to investigate Epstein because he has "nothing to do with that"- Prioritized changing the type of sugar in Coca Cola — FactPost (@factpostnews) July 16, 2025 President Trump is the best spokesman for Coca-Cola since Dr. Cosby! — Gary Peterson 🇺🇸 (@GaryPetersonUSA) July 16, 2025 Literally two days ago, Trump announced they were blocking a bunch of sugar imports. Today, Trump says he's gonna make Coca-Cola use like he's actively trying to design the least sensible trade policy possible — Joey Politano 🏳️🌈 (@JosephPolitano) July 16, 2025 Fact check: The whole reason that Coca-Cola uses High Fructose Corn syrup in their sodas here in America of longstanding tariffs on sugar (as @professor_TopK always talks about) — BonkDaCarnivore (@BonkDaCarnivore) July 16, 2025 You can put the cane sugar back in Coke, but you can't take Trump out of the Epstein files — Jamie Bonkiewicz (@JamieBonkiewicz) July 16, 2025 Decades of protectionist trade polices are the reason that Coca-Cola does not use real sugar in its US product. Sugar costs twice as much in the USA as in free-trade countries. — David Frum (@davidfrum) July 16, 2025 Trump needs to bring back cocaine in Coca Cola — e-beth (@ebeth360) July 16, 2025 Trump is working on getting everyone the special Jew Coke. (Coca Cola uses cane sugar in its limited Kosher for Passover line, which is why some non-Jewish enthusiasts buy it up every year, and also why some antisemites are obsessed with "Jew Coke.") — Yair Rosenberg (@Yair_Rosenberg) July 16, 2025 Related...

Japan's Exports Fall as US Tariffs Stoke Recession Risks
(Bloomberg) -- Japan's exports fell for a second month as the US tariff campaign continued to weigh on trade, further raising the risk of a technical recession after the economy contracted at the start of the year. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say Exports measured by value dropped 0.5% in June from a year earlier, led by cars and steel, the Ministry of Finance reported Thursday. That missed the median analyst estimate of a 0.5% increase, and appeared to reflect the impact from the Trump administration's tariffs. Imports eked out a gain of 0.2%. Japan's trade balance returned to a surplus for the first time in three months, at ¥153.1 billion ($1 billion). The drop in exports add to concerns that Japan's economy could shrink again in the second quarter, ushering in a technical recession. Domestic consumption surged in May, but its sustainability remains unclear as inflation continues to outpace wage hikes. Exports to the US sank 11.4% while those to China declined 4.7% and shipments to Europe rose 3.6%. The yen averaged 144.04 against the US dollar in June, 8% stronger than a year earlier, according to the Finance Ministry. A stronger yen tends to cut the value of dollar-denominated trade figures when converted into the Japanese currency. Global commerce is facing high uncertainties amid the tariff war in which the Trump administration's threats and implementation of higher tariffs have so far resulted in few bilateral deals. Negotiations between the US and many nations including Japan are dragging out as countries find it difficult to come to an agreement. Tokyo has been hit by a 25% tariff on cars and car parts and a 50% levy on steel. Separately, in June it was also facing a 10% baseline tariff on all other shipments to the US. The across-the-board levy is set to rise to 25% on Aug. 1 barring a deal, slightly higher than the 24% originally set in April. (Updates with more details from the report.)
