After allocating $500 billion to the U.S. economy, Qatars sovereign wealth fund QIA intends to treble its yearly U.S. investments over the next ten years.

The expansion coincides with President Donald Trumps recent trip to Doha, where he inked $1.2 trillion in deals, including a $96 billion aircraft contract with Qatar Airways. QIA may be updating its fixed income strategy as it concentrates on data centres, real estate, and AI infrastructure. A move towards hightech investments and confidence in American markets are reflected in the funds expanding U.S. presence. Read More..

Using Elon Musks commercial endeavours as part of a trade strategy, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is in Washington to repair ties with the United States. As part of the strategy, Tesla will receive reduced charges in return for the construction of EV charging stations throughout South Africa.

An interim accord is anticipated before President Donald Trumps reciprocal tariffs go into force in July, as part of a multiphase trade pact between the US and India.

To further talks, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are meeting with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in Washington. Between September and November, a more comprehensive second phase that covers 19 important trade areas is anticipated, possibly coinciding with Trumps trip to India for the Quad summit. The last stage, which is expected to end next year, will need clearance from the US Congress. Read More..

BOJ to Raise Rates If Inflation Meets 2% Target, Says Deputy Governor Uchida

Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that if inflation continues to climb towards its 2% objective, the Bank of Japan BOJ will keep hiking interest

Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida stated that if inflation continues to climb towards its 2% objective, the Bank of Japan BOJ will keep hiking interest rates. Because of increased U.S. tariffs, Japans GDP shrank for the first time in a year, which sparked worries about consumer spending and business profits. In spite of this, the BOJ supports additional hikes because it thinks underlying inflation will be stable. The central bank signalled a move away from ultraloose monetary policy in January by raising rates to 0.5%, its first increase in more than ten years.
