AdvertisementPresident-elect Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China. He says he plans to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico. President-elect Donald Trump has announced a slate of tariffs that will hit the US's closest neighbors hard. These tariffs, Trump said, are because China's to blame for "the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States." It is unclear what China's response to this new era of Trump tariffs will be.

NBC News is helping shoppers answer those questions by tracking the online prices of five popular gift items in major categories this season. Second, retailers change prices regularly, making unannounced price cuts on various items all the time. Take the AirPods and the Ninja coffee maker, for example: This past weekend, both hit their lowest online prices since NBC News began tracking them months ago. Overall spending is projected to increase by 7% to an average of $1,638 per shopper this holiday season, according to PwC. The company foresees holiday discounts roughly as deep as those on offer last year but a “much stronger reaction from the consumer,” according to Adobe lead digital analyst Vivek Pandya.

☆ Bitcoin's march to $100,000 stalls. Here's what's keeping it below the milestone
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-25 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Bitcoin hit a new record high last week, with prices climbing above $99,000 for the first time. CNBC asked analysts for their take on why bitcoin has so far failed to breach the widely-watched $100,000 mark. "There's a ton of leverage in the system right now," Novogratz, a longtime crypto investor, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Friday. Novogratz added that he's advocating investors buy "straight bitcoin" rather than bitcoin-exposed plays, such as MicroStrategy which owns a huge, multi-billion-dollar pile of bitcoin in its corporate treasury reserves. Deutsche Bank's Laboure said she thinks the idea of a U.S. national bitcoin is still far off, practically speaking.

Scott Bessent speaks at the National Conservative Conference in Washington D.C., Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Dominic Gwinn | Afp | Getty ImagesFinancial markets on Monday welcomed President-elect Donald Trump's pick for U.S. Treasury secretary, with currencies across the globe rallying on hopes that hedge fund manager Scott Bessent can take some of the sting out of Trump's more extreme economic views. "Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary has swelled investor sentiment further with stocks on Wall Street looking set for another flurry of gains," Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said in a research note. While many economists are skeptical about the effectiveness of tariffs, Bessent has defended them as "a useful tool for achieving the president's foreign policy objectives." Some strategists expect Trump's Treasury chief pick to be welcomed as good news for Asian currencies over the coming months.

AdvertisementTrump has been hard on EVs, but a new friendship with Elon Musk could change things. So far, Musk supports Trump's plans to dismantle EV tax credits. Automakers had hoped that Musk would support EV regulations and tax credits, but it appears the CEO is siding with Trump for now. An industry group representing many automakers (but not Tesla) pleaded with Trump to preserve EV tax credits but reconsider some of the more stringent emissions regulations. This was an about-face from Musk's stance a few months earlier when he advocated for trade barriers and warned that Chinese EV companies would "demolish" competition without guardrails.

LONDON – Virgin Atlantic CEO Shai Weiss on Monday said the U.K. Labour government's landmark October budget presented a "tax on growth" due to higher rates placed on the aviation industry. "I would call [the Budget] a tax on growth," Weiss said Monday, adding that while it was necessary to cover Britain's budget deficit, it was also important to recognize the contribution of aviation to the wider U.K. economy. For journeys between 2,001 and 5,500 miles, APD will rise to £102 from £90 in economy and to £244 from £216 in other classes. CNBC has contacted the U.K. Treasury for comment.

The EU Commission said on Monday it had formally brought the provisional anti-dumping measures imposed by China on imports of EU brandy to the World Trade Organization, the latest development amid trade tensions between the two blocs. France's trade ministry said last month it would work with the European Commission to challenge Beijing's tariffs, which came after the European Union voted for duties on Chinese-made electric vehicles. China's commerce ministry said it had received an EU consultation request and would handle the matter according to WTO rules. France, whose producers including LVMH , Remy Cointreau and PernodRicard , export huge amounts of spirits to the Asian country, was seen as the main targets of the brandy tariffs following Paris's outspoken support of the Commission's efforts to protect the domestic EV market. French brandy shipments to China reached $1.7 billion last year and made up 99% of China's imports of the drink.
