Trump Slams Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show as “Un-American”

                                                       Bad Bunny and Donald Trump  Former President Donald Trump sharply criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, calling it “a slap in the face” to the United States. In a post-game reaction, Trump argued that the Spanish-language performance failed to represent American culture and claimed it was inappropriate for a national event watched by millions of families. His comments quickly ignited debate, with supporters echoing concerns about cultural representation and critics accusing him of dismissing the diversity that defines modern American entertainment. Bad Bunny, one of the world’s most streamed artists, has not publicly responded, but the conversation around the show continues to dominate post–Super Bowl chatter.

TSX Futures Slide Amid Global Market Turmoil

 

Futures linked to Canada’s main stock index took a tumble on Tuesday, echoing the brutal sell-off seen across global markets on Monday. The trigger? Recession fears in the United States.

September futures on the S&P/TSX index were down 1.8% at 6:48 a.m. ET (10:48 GMT). Investors worldwide scrambled toward safe-haven assets after weaker U.S. economic data last week raised concerns about a recession in the world’s largest economy.

While investor sentiment was partially soothed by a rebound in U.S. services sector activity and signals of rate cuts from Federal Reserve policymakers, the benchmark U.S. S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed 3% lower on Monday.

Canadian markets were closed for a holiday, but attention remains on domestic employment figures due later this week and a host of Fed policymakers scheduled to speak throughout the month.

In corporate news, Suncor Energy and iA Financial are set to report their quarterly figures after the closing bell today.

Commodities at 6:48 a.m. ET:

  • Gold futures: $2,423 (+0.5%)
  • U.S. crude: $73.32 (+0.5%)
  • Brent crude: $76.62 (+0.4%)

Stay tuned for further updates as the market volatility continues.
