    Auto shares dip, currencies fluctuate

    “We believe that he’s using (auto tariffs) as a trade negotiation. The markets are jittery because nobody really knows what’s going to happen and what will come out in future,” Nicolas Lin, chairman and interim CEO of Aether Holdings.

    European stocks fell, with weakness in shares of Europe’s top carmakers such as Volkswagen down nearly 2%, while BMW lost almost 3% and Mercedes-Benz slid more than 4%.

    The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell 0.2% to 104.43, with the euro up 0.24% at $1.0777.

    The Mexican peso weakened 0.82% versus the dollar at 20.288 while the Canadian dollar weakened 0.39% versus the greenback to C$1.43 per dollar as both countries are expected to be heavily impacted by the tariffs.

    Florida Senator Proposes Bill To Recognize Gold, Silver, And Digital Currency As Legal Tender

    Follow up to Gold and Silver may be adopted as legal tender in Florida

    Sponsored by Senator Rodriguez, Senate Bill 132 aims to redefine financial transactions, taxation, and payment of debts using these alternative forms of currency.

    The proposed bill includes several significant measures:

    Definition of Legal Tender:

    Tax Exemptions:

    Government Acceptance:

    Prohibition on Compulsion:

    Regulatory Framework:

    If passed, SB 132 would make Florida one of the few states to officially recognize gold, silver, and digital currencies as legal tender.

    China’s gold reserves rise over $73 million

    China’s gold reserves rose to 73.61 million fine troy ounces at the end of February from 73.45 million at the end of January, as the central bank kept buying the precious metal for a fourth straight month.

    “The PBOC’s purchases are an important factor underpinning gold, so a continuation of its buying in February could help to build further strength behind the gold price,” said Frank Watson, market analyst at Kinesis Money.

    “Unlike investors, central banks are relatively price insensitive to gold and tend to buy as part of a restructuring of their reserve holdings,” Watson said.
