AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 minutes ago

Canada-U.S. Trade Talks: Negotiators in Washington are racing to finalize a deal before midnight tariff deadlines, with markets treating progress as “risk reduction” and a tentative package reportedly targeting steel, aluminum, lumber and autos while addressing dairy and alcohol disputes. U.S.-Iran Economic War: Washington’s “Economic D-Day” push escalates with new sanctions and energy-sector pressure, while Iran and China reject the strategy as doomed to fail and call for diplomacy. Monetary Policy & Markets: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s bond buyback plan is drawing alarm from economists who warn it could morph a debt stress into a currency problem. Regional Trade & Growth: Mexico expects a U.S. deal similar to Canada’s, and Indonesia’s EU pact is set to deliver its highest tariff concessions. Local Trade Pushes: Guam hosts a Japan inbound trade mission to open export paths for island-made food and hospitality suppliers. Policy & Governance: Bolivia fires its economy minister after congressional censure, and Nigeria suspends officials over fake agencies—both underscoring how political decisions are reshaping economic administration.
