Lourenço Urges U.S. to Swap Aid for Investment at U.S.Africa Summit in Luanda

João Lourenço, the president of Angola, called Africa a “credible partner” with abundant resources and human capital, and urged the United State

João Lourenço, the president of Angola, called Africa a “credible partner” with abundant resources and human capital, and urged the United States to switch from traditional aid to private investment at the U.S.Africa Business Summit in Luanda. He underlined the need to replace the "logic of aid" with the "logic of ambition," citing industries such as infrastructure, technology, agribusiness, and renewable energy. Lourenço promoted the African Continental Free Trade Area AfCFTA as an investment magnet and pointed to Angolas 3.5% Q1 GDP as proof of regional momentum. "It is business—not aid—that drives lasting growth," said Troy Fitrell, chief of the U.S. Africa Bureau. The goal of the conference is to strengthen business connections and draw American businesses to Africas changing economic environment. Read More..

BOJ Holds Rates at 0.5% as Board Splits Over Inflation and Tariff Fallout

With policymakers split on the way forward, the Bank of Japan BOJ held its June 16–17 meeting and maintained interest rates at 0.5%. Concerned about

With policymakers split on the way forward, the Bank of Japan BOJ held its June 16–17 meeting and maintained interest rates at 0.5%. Concerned about possible harm to Japans already frail economy, some members called for a sustained accommodating policy and caution owing to the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs. According to one, the BOJ may need to boost rates "decisively" in spite of economic uncertainties, as inflation was increasing more quickly than anticipated. Additionally, in 2026, the board agreed to decrease the rate of balance sheet reduction. Among the worries were how increased rice prices would affect inflation forecasts and how tariffs might affect business mood later. July 30–31 is when the next policy meeting is planned. Read More..

India, U.S. Race to Finalize Trade Pact Before July 9 Tariff Deadline

Before the July 9 deadline, when the U.S. may reimpose a 26% reciprocal tariff on some Indian exports, India and the U.S. are attempting to complete a

Before the July 9 deadline, when the U.S. may reimpose a 26% reciprocal tariff on some Indian exports, India and the U.S. are attempting to complete an interim trade agreement. The United States wants market access for petrochemicals, wines, EVs, industrial items, and genetically modified products, while India wants a complete exemption. In return, India is advocating for duty reductions on leather, seafood, textiles, diamonds, and agricultural goods like grapes and bananas. Although agriculture and dairy are still controversial, the temporary agreement is a part of a larger deal that is anticipated to be finalised by autumn 2025. It comes in the wake of Indias FTA effort with the EU, the UK, and its neighbours. As extensive negotiations continue, it is unclear if the tariff moratorium will be prolonged. Read More..

From Palo Alto to the Cloud Snowcap’s $23M Bet on PostCMOS AI Acceleration

In order to create superconducting AI chips that outperform todays leading processors by a factor of 25, Snowcap Compute has obtained $23 million in s

In order to create superconducting AI chips that outperform todays leading processors by a factor of 25, Snowcap Compute has obtained $23 million in seed investment. Using niobium titanium nitride, the Palo Altobased firm is able to achieve zeroresistance electrical flow at cryogenic temperatures. According to Snowcap, net efficiency increases make cooling feasible despite its energy cost, particularly when data centre power restrictions are strained by AI and HPC workloads. Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger serves on the board of the business, which is run by Michael Lafferty, a former Cadence executive. By late 2026, their first chip should be ready, and complete systems will follow. Investor faith in nextgeneration computation architectures that can transform AI infrastructure in the face of mounting energy restrictions is reflected in the funding. Read More..
