Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 22, 2025 -- Dubai, a city known for its grandeur and world records, made headlines again with the launch of the world's most expensive mocktail at Jimmydixs Restaurant & Lounge, Barcelo Hotel, Al Jaddaf. Priced at AED 12,099, the mocktail was unveiled during the restaurant's grand opening, marking a new milestone in luxury hospitality.
The first serving of this opulent beverage was awarded through a lucky draw to Mr. Yao Lei, Executive Secretary General of the Arab-Sino International Communication Association. He received not only the mocktail but also two starters wrapped in EU-certified 24 Karat gold flakes and gold dust. The lucky draw was conducted by the Guest of Honour, Mr. Ankur Agarwal, Chairman of BNW Developments, in the presence of diplomats, influencers, and global media.
Crafted by Mr. Fredrick, Bar Manager at Jimmydixs, the mocktail redefines luxury. It blends fresh cranberry and pomegranate juice, mint leaves, sea salt from the Dead Sea, sparkling water with 24 Karat edible gold dust, and 23.99 Karat EU-certified gold foil.

According to Mr. Fredrick, 'Jimmydixs has achieved global recognition by serving the world's most expensive mocktail, enriched with certified 24K edible gold.'
Mr. Yao Lei, as the first guest globally to receive the drink, remarked, 'Dubai never ceases to amaze. Enjoying this extraordinary mocktail was truly a privilege. It represents art, culture, and international unity.'

Bulgaria to enter the euro zone: What that means and why everyone's not happy about it

Bulgaria is a step closer toward becoming the 21st country to adopt the euro and join the euro zone. On June 3, the European Commission announced that the Balkan nation now fulfills the four nominal convergence criteria requirements to adopt the single currency and enter the euro zone, and may transition as soon as January 1, 2026. 'The euro is a tangible symbol of European strength and unity,' European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement. 'Bulgaria's economy will become stronger, with more trade with euro area partners, foreign direct investment, access to finance, quality jobs and real incomes. Bulgaria will take its rightful place in shaping the decisions at the heart of the euro area.' Bulgaria first joined the European Union in 2007, and like other members, agreed to eventually adopt the single currency. Out of the 27 member states, only 20 countries currently use the euro, which is the second most-used currency in the world with 341 million users. While the green light from the commission paves the path for the poorest EU member state to integrate into the euro zone and get rid of its national currency, the lev, its road to getting here hasn't been easy, and not all Bulgarians are happy about it. Here's what to know. What is the euro zone? All 27 European Union members, who had to formally apply and be accepted into the union, coordinate economic policy as a part of the European Monetary Union. However, not all EU members use the single currency, and only those who have replaced their national currencies for the euro are considered to be part of the 'euro zone.' While countries have slowly been admitted, the latest addition to the euro zone was Croatia in 2023. In addition to Bulgaria, the six other nations who are yet to transition to the euro zone include Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and the Czech Republic. Upon being accepted into the European Union, members (except Denmark, due to an 'op-out' clause) are required to adopt the euro once they meet the convergence criteria. The criteria requires countries to fulfill requirements for price stability, sustainable public finances, sustainable interest rates, and stable exchange rates. Before formally adopting the single currency, the decision still needs approval from EU ministers, which are expected to green-light the transition per the commission's recommendation. Why now? Bulgaria had failed to meet convergence criteria in the past, as it requires countries to not have inflation higher than 1.5% above the top three euro zone performers. Now, with a new review by the European Commission and the European Central Bank, Bulgaria has met the requirements, setting itself up for a transition early next year. Not everyone is happy about joining While long awaited, the transition has met opposition from Bulgarian citizens and Bulgarian pro-Russian and anti-euro political leaders. A recent survey showed the country is split, with 50% of Bulgarians opposing the euro. The country, which has a population of 6.4 million, also saw several thousands of protesters earlier this year opposing the currency adoption, with thousands more demanding a referendum.

Trump erupts when asked about 'TACO trade' ― a new nickname mocking his tariff approach

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump is no fan of an emerging nickname on Wall Street mocking his on-again, off-again approach to tariffs. Trump lashed out at a reporter on May 28 who asked for his response to financial analysts embracing a new term called "TACO trade." The acronym stands for "Trump always chickens out" ‒ a jab at the president's propensity to impose or threaten steep tariffs on imports, only to later back off. "Oh, I chicken out. Isn't that nice? I've never heard that," Trump said during the exchange, before defending his recent decisions to slash his tariffs on China for the next 90 days and extend his deadline for a 50% tariff on goods from the European Union until July 9. More: Trump, China agree to slash tariffs for 90 days: What to know "Six months ago, this country was stone cold dead. We had a dead country. We had a country that people didn't think it was going survive," Trump said. "And you ask a nasty question like that. It's called negotiation." "TACO trade" was coined this month by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong to describe how many investors have responded to Trump's whiplash tariff policy by buying into the market dip that follows Trump's tariffs, on the assumption that the market will rebound once Trump flip Trump says he will delay 50% tariffs on EU imports until July 9 Trump has backed off from some of his steep tariffs repeatedly since announcing a series of hefty duties on imports from most of the world's countries on April 2 ‒ a moment he hailed as "Liberation Day." The Trump administration has announced new or revised tariff policies more than 50 times since Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration, according to an analysis from the Washington Post. But several actions were quickly rescinded. After the stock market plunged in response to the levies, Trump paused the reciprocal tariffs for most countries, lowering the tariffs to a universal 10% rate. He initially kept 145% tariffs in place for China, but later lowered it to 30%, where it remains. He also paused tariffs he set for Canada and Mexico, created tariff carve-outs for electronic imports and most recently backed off a June 1 deadline he set for 50% tariffs on goods from the EU. "You call that chickening out?" Trump said, arguing he reduced the tariffs on China ‒ which he acknowledged had gotten too high ‒ after Beijing agreed to open its country to trade. He said he extended the EU deadline after European leaders called and asked "please, let's meet right now" to discuss trade policy. "Don't ever say what you said because that's a nasty question," Trump said. Reach Joey Garrison on X @joeygarrison.

Nasdaq Turns Positive in 2025: ETFs to Ride the Rally

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index turned positive for the first time since Feb. 21 after an impressive rally in May. Robust earnings, renewed artificial intelligence (AI) optimism and easing trade tensions drove the index higher. The gains were also supported by a growing investor confidence that President Trump's trade policies may not push the economy into a recession, as had been feared just a few weeks ago (read: S&P 500 Wraps Up Best May Since 1990: 5 Top Stocks in the ETF).As such, the ETFs tracking the index have gained momentum. These include Invesco QQQ QQQ, Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF QQQM, First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Fund QQEW, Invesco NASDAQ Next Gen 100 ETF QQQJ and Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Shares QQQE. Optimism surrounding President Trump's trade policies, including temporary tariff reductions in the case of the United Kingdom and China, has alleviated fears of recession. After the initial shock of the tariffs, the United States temporarily slashed tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%. China also lowered its retaliatory duties on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. The temporary reduction in rates will run for 90 days. Meanwhile, Trump also postponed the implementation of a 50% tariff increase on all EU products, from June 1 to July 9. However, clear progress in trade negotiations with China, Japan and the European Union remains elusive. The technology sector, particularly semiconductor companies, has been a primary driver of the Nasdaq's rebound. Chipmakers like NVIDIA (NVDA) and Broadcom AVGO underscore the sector's strength (read: 5 Technology Stocks Powering S&P 500 ETF). NVDA reclaimed the crown as the world's most valuable company, boasting a market capitalization of $3.45 trillion. Since bottoming at just over $94 in early April, the stock has soared nearly 50%, adding over $1 trillion in market cap in less than two months. This rally indicates renewed investor confidence. Meanwhile, Broadcom surged to near record highs ahead of its quarterly results, driven by its burgeoning AI product line and the strategic acquisition of VMware in 2023. Total first-quarter earnings for the 477 S&P 500 members that have reported results are up 11.4% from the same period last year on 4.4% higher revenues, with 74.2% beating EPS estimates and 62.9% beating revenue estimates, per Zacks Earnings many companies struggled to beat consensus estimates, the technology sector stood out with stronger-than-anticipated performance.
