U.S. Money Reserve Unveils Battle of the Bulge Gold 3-Coin Set: Fifth Release in WWII: Valor & Victory Series
For over two decades, U.S. Money Reserve has championed the importance of preserving America's legacy through exclusive coin programs. The World War II: Valor & Victory Series was designed to honor the service and sacrifices of U.S. forces by connecting historic milestones to timeless assets like gold and silver.
"As we unveil the Battle of the Bulge coin, we stand proud as a company committed to honoring the bravery and sacrifices of the men and women who fought in World War II," said Philip Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and 35th Director of the United States Mint. "This series not only commemorates historic battles but also represents our enduring respect and gratitude. It's a testament in gold to a generation whose courage defined the course of history."
A Turning Point Commemorated in Pure 24-Karat Gold
The Battle of the Bulge, fought in December 1944 in Belgium's Ardennes Forest, was the largest and costliest single battle undertaken by U.S. forces in WWII. American forces withstood a surprise German offensive amid brutal winter conditions. Their victory helped hasten the end of Nazi Germany's campaign in the West.
This pivotal battle is commemorated through the design of U.S. Money Reserve's new coin set, thoughtfully crafted under the guidance of two former Directors of the U.S. Mint. The set features vivid depictions of key moments from the battlegrounds:
Obverse: Paratroopers descending alongside ground forces, honoring the valor of the 509th and 551st Parachute Infantry Battalions.
Reverse: A Sherman tank pushing forward with infantry through snowy terrain, representing the grit and determination that defined the battle.
"We approached the design of the coins in this series with deep respect and careful intention," said Ryan Buchanan, Chief Creative Officer at U.S. Money Reserve. "For the Battle of the Bulge–like every coin in the series–we worked to visually tell the story through powerful imagery, varied relief depths, and advanced finishing techniques. Our collaboration with CIT and B.H. Mayer Mint makes it possible to achieve a level of artistry and dimensionality that truly brings these historic events to life in a way few coins ever have."
Unmatched Craftsmanship in Every Detail
The 3-coin set is struck in .9999 pure (24-karat) gold, includes 1 oz., 1/4 oz., and 1/10 oz. coins, available exclusively through U.S. Money Reserve. Each coin is official legal tender, graded PR-69 or PR-70 by PCGS, and certified as "First Day of Issue," providing numismatic documentation for collectors, historians, and gold buyers alike.
"We are proud to partner with two of the most respected names in minting–CIT and B.H. Mayer–to produce these museum-quality coins," said John Rothans, Chief Procurement Officer at U.S. Money Reserve. "Struck in extremely limited mintage, these rare pieces represent the highest standards of craftsmanship and collectability in the world of precious metals, allowing us to preserve these moments in history with the reverence and permanence they deserve."
Each Battle of the Bulge set also includes a randomly selected 1 oz. silver coin from the full Valor & Victory Series. The set is packaged with a certificate of authenticity, and each coin is presented in a protective display case featuring a PCGS label customized for the series.

What actually went wrong at Jaguar
Nearly a year ago, Jaguar unveiled a refreshed brand identity that was supposed to usher in its future. So far, it's been mostly a headache. The 102-year-old luxury automake r, once a head-to-head competitor with brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, had been plagued with problems even before the advertising campaign was released, including leadership changes, declining sales amid a stale lineup and stiff competition from the likes of both German luxury carmakers as well as relative upstarts like Tesla. Now it can add two more problems: misleading headlines about its sales, and outrage from the political right — most notably the US president. On Monday, President Donald Trump trashed Jaguar for what he called a 'stupid' and 'seriously WOKE' ad campaign last year, which featured an avant-garde commercial that featured slogans such as 'live vivid,' and what appeared to be gender-fluid models, but zero images of its cars or even concepts of a car. 'Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad,' quipped Trump on Truth Social. 'The market cap destruction has been unprecedented with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST.' But the reality is different. Jaguar Land Rover has been owned by Tata Motors since 2008, when the Indian company bought it from Ford, which means Jaguar doesn't have a market cap. And Tata itself is doing fine as a massive multinational conglomerate with a wide variety of operations worth about $28 billion. Plus, Jaguar's problems are more fundamental. Although most legacy automakers have tried to manage a smooth transition to fully electric propulsion, Jaguar simply ceased making cars entirely in 2024 pulling all of its products off the market as it tries to reinvent itself as an electric vehicle maker. But that's enough to establish a narrative in the minds of many. Headlines swirled last month that Jaguar's sales across Europe were down 97.5% year-over-year in April, citing data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. That makes sense given Jaguar stopped manufacturing cars but the news was enough to draw the wrath of Trump and some conservatives. Shortly after the ad was released, Jaguar revealed its Type 00 concept car at Miami Art Week — notably, not at a traditional automotive show. While the concept isn't intended for production, it is meant to show Jaguar's general future design direction. Jaguar didn't respond to a question from CNN about when it will start production again. Last week, Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell announced he was stepping down after 35 years with the brand. He had a largely successful stint, having helped eliminate billions of dollars of debt and with JLR reporting its ninth consecutive profitable quarter in January on the back of strong SUV sales. Tata Motors on Monday named P.B. Balaji, currently the company's chief financial officer, as Jaguar Land Rover's new CEO. He begins in November.

Hugo Boss' cost cuts help it report profit beat despite weak sentiment
By Linda Pasquini (Reuters) -Cost measures helped Hugo Boss report a slightly better than expected quarterly operating profit and confirm its outlook for 2025, the German fashion group said on Tuesday, while warning of weak consumer sentiment globally. Earnings before interest and taxes rose 15% to 81 million euros ($93.5 million) in the second quarter, beating analysts' forecast of 77 million euros in a company-provided poll, aided by cost-cutting measures as a stronger euro weighed on sales. When converted into euros, Hugo Boss' revenue fell 1% to 1 billion euros in the quarter, roughly in line with a market forecast of 998 million euros. "The second quarter of 2025 was once again marked by a challenging macroeconomic and industry environment, with global consumer confidence remaining at a low level," CEO Daniel Grieder said in a statement. Hugo Boss confirmed its sales and profit guidance for the year, but said it now expected sales in reporting currency in the Americas to remain at around last year's level, dragged by a weaker U.S. dollar against the euro. It had initially expected low single-digit percentage growth in the region. The company will keep monitoring macroeconomic developments and tariff talks, while focusing on controlling costs and strengthening its profitability, Grieder said. Demand in the U.S. strengthened in the quarter compared to a weaker start to the year, resulting in modest revenue growth, the company said. Demand in China remained subdued, leading to a 5% currency-adjusted decline in its Asia-Pacific sales. Germany and France drove a 3% currency-adjusted sales rise in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, despite a slight decline in Britain, it added. Hugo Boss' shares were up 1.5% in early Frankfurt trade. ($1 = 0.8663 euros)

Modi and Trump once called each other good friends. Now the US-India relationship is getting bumpy
NEW DELHI -- The men shared bear hugs, showered praise on each other and made appearances side by side at stadium rallies — a big optics boost for two populist leaders with ideological similarities. Each called the other a good friend. In India, the bonhomie between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump was seen as a relationship like no other. That is, until a series of events gummed up the works. From Trump's tariffs and India's purchase of oil from Russia to a U.S. tilt toward Pakistan, friction between New Delhi and Washington has been hard to miss. And much of it has happened far from the corridors of power and, unsurprisingly, through Trump's posts on social media. It has left policy experts wondering whether the camaraderie the two leaders shared may be a thing of the past, even though Trump has stopped short of referring to Modi directly on social media. The dip in rapport, some say, puts a strategic bilateral relationship built over decades at risk. 'This is a testing time for the relationship,' said Ashok Malik, a former policy adviser in India's Foreign Ministry. The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The latest hiccup between India and the U.S. emerged last week when Trump announced that he was slapping 25% tariffs on India as well as an unspecified penalty because of India's purchasing of Russian oil. For New Delhi, such a move from its largest trading partner is expected to be felt across sectors, but it also led to a sense of unease in India — even more so when Trump, on social media, called India's economy 'dead.' Trump's recent statements reflect his frustration with the pace of trade talks with India, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal administration thinking. The Republican president has not been pursuing any strategic realignment with Pakistan, according to the official, but is instead trying to play hardball in negotiations. Trump doubled down on the pressure Monday with a fresh post on Truth Social, in which he accused India of buying 'massive amounts' of oil from Russia and then 'selling it on the Open Market for big profits.' 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA,' he said. The messaging appears to have stung Modi's administration, which has been hard-selling negotiations with Trump's team over a trade deal by balancing between India's protectionist system while also opening up the country's market to more American goods. 'Strenuous, uninterrupted and bipartisan efforts in both capitals over the past 25 years are being put at risk by not just the tariffs but by fast and loose statements and social media posts,' said Malik, who now heads the India chapter of The Asia Group, a U.S. advisory firm . Malik also said the trade deal the Indian side has offered to the U.S. is the 'most expansive in this country's history,' referring to reports that India was willing to open up to some American agricultural products. That is a politically sensitive issue for Modi, who faced a yearlong farmers' protest a few years ago. The unraveling may have gained momentum over tariffs, but the tensions have been palpable for a while. Much of it has to do with Trump growing closer to Pakistan, India's nuclear rival in the neighborhood. In May, India and Pakistan traded a series of military strikes over a gun massacre in disputed Kashmir that New Delhi blamed Islamabad for. Pakistan denied the accusations. The four-day conflict made the possibility of a nuclear conflagration between the two sides seem real and the fighting only stopped when global powers intervened. But it was Trump's claims of mediation and an offer to work to provide a 'solution' regarding the dispute over Kashmir that made Modi's administration uneasy. Since then, Trump has repeated nearly two dozen times that he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. For Modi, that is a risky — even nervy — territory. Domestically, he has positioned himself as a leader who is tough on Pakistan. Internationally, he has made huge diplomatic efforts to isolate the country. So Trump's claims cut a deep wound, prompting a sense in India that the U.S. may no longer be its strategic partner. India insists that Kashmir is India's internal issue and had opposed any third-party intervention. Last week Modi appeared to dismiss Trump's claims after India's Opposition began demanding answers from him. Modi said that 'no country in the world stopped' the fighting between India and Pakistan, but he did not name Trump. Trump has also appeared to be warming up to Pakistan, even praising its counterterrorism efforts. Hours after levying tariffs on India, Trump announced a 'massive' oil exploration deal with Pakistan, saying that some day, India might have to buy oil from Islamabad. Earlier, he also hosted one of Pakistan's top military officials at a private lunch. Sreeram Sundar Chaulia, an expert at New Delhi's Jindal School of International Affairs, said Trump's sudden admiration for Pakistan as a great partner in counterterrorism has 'definitely soured' the mood in India. Chaulia said 'the best-case scenario is that this is just a passing Trump whim,' but he also warned that 'if financial and energy deals are indeed being struck between the U.S. and Pakistan, it will dent the U.S.-India strategic partnership and lead to loss of confidence in the U.S. in Indian eyes.' The strain in relations has also to do with oil. India had faced strong pressure from the Biden administration to cut back its oil purchases from Moscow during the early months of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Instead, India bought more, making it the second-biggest buyer of Russian oil after China. That pressure sputtered over time and the U.S. focused more on building strategic ties with India, which is seen as a bulwark against a rising China. Trump's threat to penalize India over oil, however, brought back those issues. On Sunday, the Trump administration made its frustrations over ties between India and Russia ever more public. Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House, accused India of financing Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow, saying it was 'not acceptable.' Miller's remarks were followed by another Trump social media post on Monday in which he again threatened to raise tariffs on goods from India over its Russian oil purchases. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine," Trump wrote. Some experts, though, suspect Trump's remarks are mere pressure tactics. 'Given the wild fluctuations in Trump's policies,' Chaulia said, 'it may return to high fives and hugs again.' Many expected India to react strongly over Trump's tariff threats considering Modi's carefully crafted reputation of strength. Instead, the announcement prompted a rather careful response from India's commerce minister, Piyush Goyal, who said the two countries are working toward a 'fair, balanced and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement.' Initially, India's Foreign Ministry also played down suggestions of any strain. But in a statement late Monday, it called Trump's criticism 'unjustified and unreasonable' and said it will take 'all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.' It said India began importing oil from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, calling it a 'necessity compelled by global market situation.' The statement also noted U.S. trade with Russia.
