In the turmoil of global commercial reconfigurations, Beijing is advancing its pawns. China announces the complete removal of tariffs on exports from 53 African countries, expanding preferential access to its market. Behind this gesture lies a targeted diplomatic offensive as Washington, under the leadership of Donald Trump, reactivates protectionist levers against the continent. Africa, long peripheral in geo-economic arbitration, is becoming the epicenter of a clash of influences where industrial ambitions, strategic alliances, and narratives of sovereignty intersect.

For the first time, the idea of putting France under the guardianship of the IMF has crossed the gates of Bercy. Long reserved for countries in crisis, this perspective, now acknowledged at the highest level of the state, reveals the extent of the budgetary derailment. An abyssal debt, soaring interest charges, and pressure from rating agencies form an explosive cocktail. The signal is clear: French economic sovereignty is wavering, and international institutions are now scrutinizing Paris with the same severity as struggling economies.

A discreet yet massive shift is redefining the global monetary balances. Indeed, over 90 countries, led by the BRICS, are abandoning the dollar in their international exchanges. In its place, the yuan, the ruble, or the rupee are gradually taking over.

A stated desire for economic sovereignty and a direct challenge to American hegemony over global flows are at the root of this movement.

At a time when financial distrust spreads in a click, a TikTok video posted at the end of May has reignited fears of increased state control. It claims that starting from October 2025, any transfer of more than 800 euros between individuals would be blocked for 24 hours for tax verification. Within a few days, the rumor has caused unrest among thousands of French citizens. What does the regulation actually say? And why is this viral announcement completely unfounded?

Donald Trump generated over 600 million dollars in 2024, with a major portion coming from the crypto universe. This figure, drawn from a financial disclosure document signed on June 13, confirms the president's strategic entrenchment in the crypto ecosystem.

The real estate credit market, long stagnant, is beginning a clear recovery. In two months, the demand for loans has almost doubled, driven by a decrease in rates and a reopening of bank lending.

In an economic context where every trade tension weighs on global markets, Washington has chosen firmness. On June 11, Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, ruled out any reduction in tariffs imposed on China. An unambiguous announcement, despite an agreement announced as "concluded" by both capitals. This tariff status quo reinforces uncertainty about global supply chains and sends a clear signal: the time is not for easing, even amid diplomatic dialogue.

The May US inflation shows a deceptive calm: +0.1% for the month, a figure below expectations that immediately boosted risky assets. However, behind this lull lies more enduring tensions, fueled by the renewed offensive of tariff hikes decided by the Trump administration.
