Influencing is critical to convince people to maintain social distancing rules and also to impact consumption, with fewer dollars to run around. IZEA, a firm specializing in influencers, has taken an initial hit amid the coronavirus crisis but seems to have emerged stronger.

According to Ted Murphy, the company's CEO, it has already recovered the level of bookings seen from the beginning of the year through March 15, when the US entered a state of national emergency.

Moreover, the firm announced on Monday that it secured a six-digit contract with a Fortune 500 Customer. The press release sent the stock surging, sending it to the highest since 2018. NASDAQ:IZEA closed at $0.60 on Friday, and shrugged off its penny-stock status on Monday with a leap above $1. It is now trading above $2.

The Winter Park, Florida-based firm may now continue to secure additional influencer deals. The crisis shifts money away from traditional advertising to social media, and celebrities on various platforms, known as influencers, are listened to by younger audiences.

IZEA promises to streamline the process of advertising on via influences and to allow content producers to shine and also make money.

Gold remains depressed below $4,650 on firmer USD; looks to US PCE for Fed rate outlook

Gold sticks to modest losses below $4,650 heading into the European session, though it lacks bearish conviction and remains confined within the previous day's broader range. The US Dollar regains positive traction amid some repositioning ahead of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index and is seen as weighing on the commodity. Adding to this, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday might offer more cues about the interest rate path.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe: Profit-taking cools last week’s rally

Meme coins, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE), are losing their bullish momentum after last week’s double-digit gains. Facing downside pressure amid profit-taking, DOGE and PEPE risk further decline while SHIB holds at a support level.

America’s self‑inflicted trade wound

I’m conflicted about the trade war that the U.S. has started with Canada. Let’s be clear: any representation that Canada has been taking unfair advantage of the U.S. or that they have been treating us badly for years is a bogus characterization. In reality, the shoe is on the other foot. It’s the U.S. that has been behaving badly.

Canada hits US goods with tariffs; The rate market sees a problem

On September 8, Canada begins charging its own importers 15%, 25% and 50% on roughly 700 lines of American goods. The measure is billed as dollar for dollar, and on the arithmetic of covered trade it is. What it is not is a tax on the United States.
