Saskatchewan and Ontario remove trade barriers

While premiers met in Saskatoon last week, an agreement between Saskatchewan and Ontario to break down trade barriers was announced. Putting ink to paper, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Ontario Premier Doug Ford signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the two provinces to work on getting rid of roadblocks between the two provinces. 'Saskatchewan has long been a leader in reducing trade barriers,' said Trade and Export Minister Warren Kaeding. 'This MOU is the progress on internal trade that our country needs to remain competitive and resilient.' He explained that the two provinces will work together to improve the flow of goods, services, and labour mobility; recognize the importance of strengthening public safety and the integrity and role of our Crown corporations; and advance direct to consumer alcohol sales while working with other willing jurisdictions to do the same. 'We continue to see success in internal trade through our participation in the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) and the New West Partnership Trade Agreement with British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba,' Kaeding said. According to statistics from 2021, total interprovincial trade between the two provinces amounted to $6.4 billion. 'Now is the time to take strong action to strengthen trade across Canada,' noted Moe. 'Our province remains committed to removing restrictive barriers that limit the flow of trade. Today's MOU between Saskatchewan and Ontario is just one of the ways we are unlocking the infinite potential that exists within our industries from coast to coast.' Trade makes up around 70 per cent of Saskatchewan's Gross Domestic Product, with the recent signing of the MOU seen as providing more stability when actions south of the border threaten change at a whim. 'With President Trump taking direct aim at Canada's economy, we need to do everything we can to protect Ontario and Canadian workers by super-charging our own internal trade opportunities,' Ford said. 'With both of us coming together today, we are helping Canada unlock up to $200 billion in gains for our economy, and we are showing everyone how all of us premiers are standing up for Canada like never before. Together, we are building a more competitive, more resilient and more self-reliant economy.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

Musk-Trump Space Showdown Sends Rocket Lab Shares Soaring

June 9 - Rocket Lab USA Inc (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares climbed about 8% on Monday as investors reacted to a weekend spat between SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. The feud began when Musk criticized Trump's proposed tax legislation on X, prompting Trump to suggest cutting Musk's government contracts. Musk fired back, hinting he might decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, currently the only U.S. vehicle for ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, before retracting the comment. Over the weekend, Musk posted that we have got the spaceships, and they do not, implying U.S. reliance on SpaceX. That argument appears to be fueling interest in rival aerospace firms. RKLB, which holds multiple NASA contracts and is viewed as a contender for Trump's $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense initiative, saw its stock hit $31.21 in morning trading. AST SpaceMobile Inc (NASDAQ:ASTS) shares surged about 17% after reports suggested U.S. policymakers may look beyond SpaceX for various space investments. ASTS, a top customer of Blue Origin, inked a November launch deal with Jeff Bezos' company to deploy up to 45 satellites. Both RKLB and ASTS traded on above-average volume, signaling heightened investor focus on alternative space players amid the high-profile Musk-Trump clash. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Are Companies About to Dump Their Bitcoin? The Warning Signs Are Here

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. The cryptocurrency landscape has witnessed a significant shift as corporations increasingly adopt bitcoin as a treasury asset. While this trend has contributed to bitcoin's recent price surge, it may also be creating new vulnerabilities in the market that warrant careful consideration. Corporate adoption of bitcoin has accelerated notably, with companies following the playbook pioneered by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR). According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 110 publicly listed companies globally now hold bitcoin, representing a substantial institutional commitment to the digital asset. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Standard Chartered's analysis focuses on a refined sample of 61 companies that purchase bitcoin purely as a treasury holding, excluding industry participants like miners, exchanges, and service providers. This subset collectively owned nearly 674,000 bitcoins as of May's end—representing 3.2% of bitcoin's total 21 million coin supply. The numbers tell a compelling story: these 'bitcoin treasuries' have doubled their holdings over just two months, accumulating close to 100,000 additional bitcoins during this period. This buying pressure has been a key factor driving bitcoin to recent all-time highs. However, Standard Chartered's analysis reveals a concerning dynamic that could eventually reverse this supportive trend. Unlike Strategy, which accumulated bitcoin over time at various price points, many newer corporate entrants have purchased at significantly higher average prices. The bank's research suggests that approximately half of the monitored corporate treasuries would find themselves underwater if bitcoin fell below $90,000. This creates a potential domino effect where companies that entered the bitcoin treasury strategy during price peaks could become forced sellers during market downturns. The risk stems from several interconnected factors: Purchase Price Disparities: Most corporate treasuries in Standard Chartered's sample have average purchase prices well above Strategy's cost basis, making them more vulnerable to market volatility. NAV Multiple Justification: Currently, companies holding bitcoin trade at Net Asset Value multiples above 1, justified by market inefficiencies such as regulatory constraints and conservative institutional investment processes. As these barriers diminish over time, the premium valuations may compress. Corporate Pain Thresholds: Unlike dedicated cryptocurrency companies, traditional corporations may have lower tolerance for significant losses on treasury holdings. Standard Chartered estimates that newer entrants likely couldn't withstand a 50% decline from their average purchase price—a threshold that Strategy weathered during the 2022 crypto winter. Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. The analysis suggests that if bitcoin drops more than 22% below companies' average purchase prices, forced selling could emerge. This creates a feedback loop where price declines trigger corporate selling, potentially accelerating further declines. This dynamic differs markedly from Strategy's experience in November 2022, when bitcoin halved but the company maintained its position. Several factors may have aided Strategy's resilience: smaller absolute dollar losses at the time, the absence of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs providing alternative exposure, and the company's fundamental commitment to bitcoin as a long-term strategy. This corporate treasury trend presents both opportunities and risks for the broader bitcoin market: Positive Factors: Corporate adoption provides institutional legitimacy and substantial buying pressure that has supported recent price appreciation. Risk Factors: The concentration of recent purchases at higher price levels creates potential selling pressure during market stress, possibly amplifying volatility. Timing Considerations: As market inefficiencies that currently justify premium valuations are resolved, bitcoin treasuries could shift from price supporters to sources of downside pressure. While corporate bitcoin adoption represents a significant maturation of the cryptocurrency market, investors should recognize that these treasury strategies may behave differently than those of dedicated bitcoin companies during market stress. The sustainability of this trend will likely depend on bitcoin's price stability and these companies' ability to maintain their positions through potential volatility. As Standard Chartered notes, the question isn't whether these companies will face pressure, but rather how much volatility they can withstand before strategic considerations shift. For market participants, understanding these dynamics becomes crucial as corporate treasuries represent an increasingly significant portion of bitcoin's circulating supply. Their behavior during the next major market downturn will provide important insights into the resilience of this newer form of institutional bitcoin adoption.
