About Mistery On Cro $MERY was born with the idea of being a meme coin on Cronos chain during the exploding 2024 meme coin season. The founder is David Bui, a well-known and seasoned #crofam $CRO investor on Cryptocom products and a big -well respected- personality on X. David minted “Mistery On CRO” on Cronos blockchain with the purpose of making this chain much better, more popular and specially more fun, but aside from serving as a mere “meme”, $MERY has the ultimate goal of also being a utility token that the founder and the team behind will push to bring many benefits to loyal hodlers. Launched in 27/3/2024 at Sydney, Australia, local time 21h00, the 690,000 $CRO presale sold out within 2 hours. The founder burned the LP to a dead wallet and the contract ownership was renounced. $MERY during its first week of launch got instant traction from the OG #crofam community who jumped in and secured bags. We are now a thriving community that will help nurturing and growing the project by sharing with more and more Web3 users.

Mistery

$MERY is trending as community members highlight its strong correlation with $CRO, anticipating potential gains. Some users point to a new listing and hint at upcoming announcements and a new game. Community buzz suggests that a crypto.com campaign could bring increased attention to the token.

Brazil's Foreign Ministry has reportedly instructed the government trade body, Camex, to begin evaluating whether a local reciprocity law could be applied against the United States.According to a Reuters News <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-starts-formal-process-assess-us-tariff-retaliation-say-sources-2025-08-28/">report</a>, citing two sources at the ministry, the trade body has 30 days to table a report on the matter.

The uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s tariffs has reportedly dented U.S. soybean farmers but boosted the prospects for their Brazilian counterparts.A Reuters report, citing soybean traders, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-losing-out-china-soybean-sales-brazil-fills-key-supply-period-2025-08-13/">said</a> that Chinese buyers, who are top importers of the oilseed crop, are gravitating toward Brazil amid the tariff standoff.Chinese importers have booked eight million metric tons of Soybean cargoes for September, all from South America, the report said, citing traders.&nbsp;These importers have contracted to buy four million metric tons of soybeans in October, also from South America. This is half the requirement. But the country will likely complete this year’s bookings by early September.Chinese oilseed importers have reportedly procured 7 million tons of soybeans from the U.S. during the first two months of 2024.The report stated that typically, China procures U.S. soybeans between September and January, and then shifts to purchases from Brazil once the harvest begins in South America.According to the report, China imported 105 million metric tons of soybeans in 2024, with 22.13 million tons or roughly 21% coming from the U.S.U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data showed that U.S. soybean exports in 2024 totaled 52.21 million metric tons, valued at $24.47 billion.&nbsp;On Sunday, President Trump called for China to <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-hopes-china-will-quickly-quadruple-soybean-purchases-from-us/chrunbERd46">“quadruple its soybean orders,</a>" alluring importers by promising “rapid service” if China made the orders.Food processing and commodity trading company <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ADM">Archer-Daniels-Midland Company’s (ADM) stock</a> was up 0.34% in the early premarket session on Wednesday. Sentiment toward the stock improved to ‘bullish’ (65/100) by early Wednesday from ‘neutral’ a day ago. Sentiment toward Agribusiness and food company <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BG">Bunge’s (BG)</a> stock stayed ‘bearish’ (37/100).The &nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, the exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, is up 10.31% for the year compared to the 28.5% gain for the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWZ">iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ)</a>.China has been reducing its reliance on the U.S. for agricultural commodities since Trump took office in 2021 due to the trade war unleashed by the president.This week, the U.S. and China agreed to extend the tariff truce by 90 days, offering a reprieve.The truce may not trigger purchases from the U.S., given that Beijing’s tariffs on U.S. soybean imports stand at 23%, making them uncompetitive. Excluding the tariffs, US soybeans for October shipment would have been cheaper than Brazilian imports by $40 per ton.&nbsp;Chinese importers’ decision to stay away from the U.S. market will likely dent the soybean futures pricing on the Chicago Board of Trade, Reuters said. The futures prices have been on a secular downtrend since mid-2022.Futures pricing for the agricultural commodity climbed for a second straight day on Tuesday after the USDA trimmed its harvest outlook forecast for the 2024/25 period.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/figma-reaches-settlement-with-motiff-forcing-rival-to-halt-sales-of-ui-design-tool/chrC2stRdBi">Figma Reaches Settlement With Motiff, Forcing Rival To Halt Sales of Its UI Design Tool — Retail Cheers ‘Solid Win’</a>

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has reportedly spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping over a phone call to strengthen ties amid an ongoing trade dispute with the U.S.According to a report by the South China Morning Post, during early Beijing hours, the two leaders talked about war in Ukraine, the role of BRICS and the G20 in defending multilateralism, and preparations for the COP30 climate summit, which Brazil will host in November.Xi assured that China will send a “senior delegation” to the host city, Belem, and also agreed to deepen cooperation in health, energy, the digital economy, and satellite technology. According to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3321521/chinas-xi-and-brazils-lula-hold-phone-call-amid-us-trade-rupture">report</a>, citing Brazilian officials, Lula also sought to use the call to ensure that trade links between the two countries remain stable despite broader uncertainty in global trade.The call comes days after the U.S. slapped a 50% tariff rate on Brazilian goods, citing trade barriers and the judicial treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Last week, Lula spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose country also faces steep 50% U.S. levies.Earlier on Monday, Brazil Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said his virtual meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had been scrapped after initially being scheduled for Wednesday, as per a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-us-meeting-canceled-amid-tariff-dispute-says-finance-minister-2025-08-11/">Reuters report</a>.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWZ">iShares MSCI Brazil ETF</a> (EWZ) was in the ‘neutral’ territory at the time of writing.Beijing has already demonstrated its support for Brazil in the dispute. Last week, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly told Lula’s chief foreign policy adviser that Beijing opposed “unjustified external interference” in Brazilian affairs.According to a report by the South China Morning Post, the call was requested by Lula and had been in preparation for several days. The Brazilian President proceeded with the call after consulting with senior ministers about the potential impact of the U.S. tariffs and the diplomatic message he wished to convey.According to data from China’s General Administration of Customs, China’s total imports from Brazil in 2024 amounted to $116 billion, with the South American nation emerging as one of the handful of major economies to post a trade surplus with China. China primarily imports soybeans, iron ore, and oil from Brazil.While tensions between Brazil and the U.S. mount, Trump has expressed his satisfaction with China and extended a tariff truce with the world's second-largest economy for another 90 days on Monday.The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF has risen nearly 24% this year, compared with a 7.9% rise of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-did-ast-spacemobile-stock-rise-after-hours-despite-bigger-q2-loss/chrDrSsRdey">Why Did AST SpaceMobile Stock Rise After-Hours Despite Bigger Q2 Loss?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Brazil’s Lula Speaks With China’s Xi As Trade Disputes With Trump Stay On The Boil

The call comes days after the U.S. slapped a 50% tariff rate on Brazilian goods, citing trade barriers and the judicial treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reportedly said he would not take orders from a ‘gringo,’ referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, as tensions between the two leaders rise over tariffs.Last week, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on goods from Brazil due to the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, which the Republican President has dubbed a ‘witch hunt.’ In a letter sent to Lula, Trump also attacked Brazil, claiming that U.S. companies have been victims of unfair trade practices.Trump again voiced his support for Bolsonaro on Thursday by posting a letter issued to the former president on Truth Social. He urged the Brazilian government to “stop attacking political opponents and end their ridiculous censorship regime.”Trump unveiled the tariffs, set to take effect on Aug. 1, days after Lula called him an ‘emperor’ the world does not want. The U.S. president also ruffled feathers by threatening tariffs on BRICS members.According to a Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/lula-says-he-wont-take-orders-foreigner-trump-calls-tariffs-blackmail-2025-07-17/">report</a>, Lula said in a speech that "No foreigner is going to give orders to this president." He reportedly used the slang word 'gringo', which is commonly used in Brazil to refer to a foreigner and does not carry the pejorative sense similar to other parts of South America.Lula also defended Brazil’s rights to regulate and tax U.S. tech firms. Speaking at a gathering of leftist student activists in the state of Goiás, he reportedly noted that tech firms are conduits of violence and fake news disguised as freedom of expression."We expected a response, and what we received was unacceptable blackmail, in the form of threats to Brazilian institutions and false information about trade between Brazil and the United States," he reportedly said in a televised address later.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWZ">iShares MSCI Brazil ETF</a> (EWZ) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.The proposed tariffs are likely to impact key Brazilian exports, including crude oil, semi-finished iron, and coffee.

Brazil’s Lula Intensifies Attacks On Trump Amid Tariff Dispute, ‘Won’t Take Orders’ 

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reportedly said he would not take orders from a ‘gringo,’ referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, as tensions between the two leaders rise over tariffs.

Lula also defended Brazil’s rights to regulate and tax U.S. tech firms.

President Donald Trump’s 50% tariff threat issued against Brazil as part of his recent string of letters sent to key trading partners has not gone down well with the people of the South American nation.Citing a survey conducted by AtlasIntel on behalf of Bloomberg, the media outlet said that 50.3% of the survey respondents called Trump’s Brazilian levies, which the U.S. President linked to former President Jair Bolsonaro's election interference trial, an attack on Brazil.&nbsp;Amid the tariff uncertainties, the&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund tracking the broader S&amp;P 500 Index, has gained 7.25% year-to-date, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWZ">iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ)</a> has climbed about 24%.Trump’s tariff threats announced on July 9 elicited a strong reaction from Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

At the same time, the president’s approval rating improved to 49.7% from 47.3%.About 48% of the respondents were confident that Lula could clinch a deal with the U.S. by the deadline.&nbsp;A majority of respondents (62.2%) see Trump’s tariff move against Brazil as politically motivated. Among the reasons mentioned by the respondents were Brazil’s participation in the BRICS alliance (40.9%) and the Bolsonaro family’s influence in the U.S. (36.9%).&nbsp;Nearly half of the respondents of the survey carried out online between Friday and Sunday said that if the Trump tariff goes into effect, it would impact the domestic economy,&nbsp;pushing up inflation.In Tuesday’s early premarket session, the SPY ETF and the EWZ ETF rose 0.33% and 0.51%, respectively.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trade-desk-ignites-retail-buzz-as-stock-on-track-for-best-day-in-2-months-on-sp-500-inclusion/ch8fysLR5FR">Trade Desk Ignites Retail Buzz As Stock On Track For Best Day In 2 Months On News Of S&amp;P 500 Inclusion</a>

Brazilians Rally Behind Lula Against Trump’s 50% Tariffs, Most Clamor For Retaliatory Levies: Survey

In response to Trump tariffs, the Brazilian President has flagged reciprocal levies if the U.S. tariffs go into effect by the Aug. 1 deadline set by the U.S. President.

Brazilian currency and stocks declined on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump levied 50% tariffs on goods from the country, amid souring relations due to the South American country’s participation in BRICS and the trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro.In a letter sent to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Trump <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1943043154946457812">said</a>, “The way that Brazil has treated former President Bolsonaro, a Highly Respected Leader throughout the World during his Term, including by the United States, is an international disgrace.” The tariffs are set to take effect from Aug. 1.The Brazilian real slipped nearly 3% against the U.S. dollar, according to a Reuters report, while the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ), which tracks Brazilian firms, fell 2% in extended trading. U.S.-listed shares of jetmaker Embraer fell 5.6%. Retail sentiment about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ERJ">Embraer stock</a> on Stocktwits was still in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Bolsonaro, with whom Trump shares a cordial relationship, is currently facing trial over post-election riots in the country’s capital after his election defeat. Trump dubbed the judicial proceedings a ‘witch hunt’ and asked for them to be stopped immediately.To date, Brazil has only been subject to the 10% baseline import tariff, as the U.S. hadn’t imposed any further reciprocal tariffs on the country when Trump revealed his initial set of levies in April. The South American country is one of the few major U.S. trade partners with whom Washington, D.C., has reported a trade surplus in 2024. Brazil’s key exports to the U.S. include crude oil, semi-finished iron, and coffee.Trump’s letter to Lula still contained similar language to his other letters to several trading partners, emphasizing the need for a ‘level playing field’ in trade. He also accused Brazil of “SECRET and UNLAWFUL Censorship Orders to U.S. Social Media platforms” and asked to open an investigation.“Any unilateral rate hikes will be responded to using Brazil’s economic reciprocity law,” Lula said, a few hours later, before adding, “The sovereignty, respect, and intransigent defense of the Brazilian people’s interests are what guide our relations with the world.”The two leaders had already sparred online earlier this week over the role of the BRICS group of countries, which Trump has accused of conspiring to weaken the U.S. dollar.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-taps-transportation-secretary-sean-duffy-as-interim-nasa-chief/chF6ufFR510">Trump Taps Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy As Interim NASA Chief; Musk Ally Isaacman Praises ‘Smart’ Move</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com
