US steps up to save the Argentine Peso
The US has purchased Argentine pesos, taking the next step in a controversial effort to calm a currency crisis hitting the South American country and its president, Trump ally Javier Milei.
In the US though, it's a different story – farmers, especially soybean farmers, have lost ground to Argentina in global markets, especially in China, due to its trade war with the US.
And Pokémon cards are hitting record highs, as some of them have seen values rise by 4000%, according to Card Ladder, which tracks values.
