July 20 (Xinhua) -- Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev said on the 20th that the Bulgarian government has received a request from the United States to deploy up to eight refueling aircraft at the Bezmer Air Base in Bulgaria and will submit it to parliament for approval. Radev stated that the government received the request from the US on the 17th, which aims to support its military operations in the Middle East. The US cited a 2006 intergovernmental defense cooperation agreement between the two countries. This agreement allows the US military to use bases within Bulgaria, including the Bezmer Air Base. Radev said that although the US urgently submitted the deployment request, the Bulgarian government has not yet approved it because, according to Bulgarian law, such a decision must be made by parliament. The government will propose to parliament that the refueling aircraft be deployed at the Bezmer Air Base.July 20 – KPMG Canada Chief Economist Ali Jaffery stated that Canadas June inflation report showed limited evidence of rising energy costs being passed on to goods such as food.

Jaffery said that economic literature suggests this transmission could take a year or more to peak, but the slow start is encouraging. He stated that concerns about accelerating commodity price increases due to the combined effect of rising energy prices and US tariffs have not been substantiated. He added that the CPI basket showed "considerable weakness" after excluding travel services; travel service prices rose in June due to the World Cup matches held in Toronto and Vancouver.July 20th - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently released the latest data showing that its non-oil foreign trade reached 1.937 trillion UAE dirhams (approximately 3.67 dirhams to 1 US dollar) in the first half of 2026, a record high, representing a 13.1% year-on-year increase.

Crypto Assets Shed $800 Billion in Market Value in A Month

According to statistics site CoinMarketCap, crypto assets have lost about $800 billion in market value in the last month, reaching a low of $1.4 trillion on Tuesday, as the end of free monetary policy dampens desire for risk assets.


Bitcoin, which accounts for roughly 40% of the cryptocurrency market, fell to a 10-month low on Tuesday before rebounding to $31,450, only six days after hitting $40,000. It was down more than 54% from its all-time high of $69,000 on November 10th.


Prices of digital assets have fallen, reflecting a drop in stocks on worries of aggressive interest rate rises throughout the world to combat decades-high inflation. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted in technology, was down 28% from its all-time high in November 2021.


According to CoinMarketCap, the total crypto market worth was $2.2 trillion on April 2, down from an all-time high of $2.9 trillion in early November.


"Bitcoin remains closely tied to larger economic circumstances, implying that the road ahead may regrettably be bumpy, at least for the time being," stated blockchain data firm Glassnode in a note.


Investors were also alarmed by signs of weakness in stablecoins, which are normally a safer crypto currency. TerraUSD, the fourth-largest stablecoin in the world, lost a third of its value on Tuesday after losing its dollar peg.


According to a study issued on Monday by digital asset management Coinshares, despite bitcoin's price drop, funds and products related to it saw inflows of $45 million last week as investors took advantage of market weakness.


"An enormous amount of liquidity has inflated some of these cryptocurrencies," said Nordea Asset Management's senior macro analyst, Sebastien Galy. As various central banks tighten their monetary policies, he expects crypto, which is also tied to high-growth equities, will face pressure.
