Ozzy Osbourne Dies at 76 – Tariff Deal Shakes Markets & Fed Update Coming
Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76. Despite years of health complications, his final moments were peaceful—he died at home, surrounded by loved ones. Contrary to speculation, Ozzy did not travel to Switzerland for assisted suicide. His daughter, Kelly Osbourne, publicly shut down the rumors, calling them false and disrespectful.
Was There an Assisted Suicide Pact?
Years ago, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne discussed a potential assisted suicide pact if either of them developed a degenerative illness like dementia. That conversation resurfaced in recent headlines, but the family has made it clear: Ozzy did not pursue euthanasia, nor was he in Switzerland at the time of his death.
Kelly Osbourne responded to the rumors by stating unequivocally that her father was at home and that the “pact” had never been taken seriously in recent years.
Japan–U.S. Tariff Deal Impacts Global Markets
In other major news, the U.S. and Japan finalized a game-changing tariff reduction deal on July 22, 2025. The agreement cuts tariffs on Japanese cars and other goods from 27.5% to 15% starting August 1. Japan is also committing over $500 billion in direct investment into American industries, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals.
The announcement caused a market reaction overnight—Japanese automakers like Toyota and Honda surged, and the Nikkei rose more than 3%. U.S. automakers, however, are voicing concerns that the deal may give foreign competitors an unfair advantage.
