EU, South Korea Race to Seal U.S. Trade Deals Before August 1 Tariff Deadline

In order to avert the imposition of high tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, the European Union and South Korea are negotiati

In order to avert the imposition of high tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, the European Union and South Korea are negotiating trade agreements with the United States rapidly. As tensions over international trade rise, President Donald Trump has proposed a 25% tariff on South Korean exports and a 30% duty on the majority of imports from the EU and Mexico. While Yeo Hankoo, the trade minister of South Korea, indicated a willingness to agricultural concessions, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic cautioned that such levies might severely harm transatlantic activity. Should negotiations fail, Italy has planned €21 billion in punitive levies. Market responses have been subdued, but sectors like spirits and cars are preparing for the effect. Both areas want to avert economic disruption by reaching inprinciple agreements prior to the deadline. Read More..

Anthropic and Amazon Web Services AWS will collaborate to launch the AI Agent Marketplace on July 15 at the AWS Summit in New York, posing a threat to Microsoft and Google in the enterprise AI market.

Foreign Investors Repatriate Record $97.7B From India Amid FDI and Debt Gains

A record $97.7 billion was returned by foreign investors from Indian investments in FY25, up from $87.5 billion in FY24, thanks to robust FDI inflows

A record $97.7 billion was returned by foreign investors from Indian investments in FY25, up from $87.5 billion in FY24, thanks to robust FDI inflows and gains from loan instruments. Investments in overseas portfolios increased when Indian debt was added to the JPMorgan bond index. By deploying foreign exchange reserves, the RBI also made $21.7 billion, which helped close the investment income shortfall to $52.6 billion. Along with increasing overseas investments, Indian businesses balanced twoway flows. Private equity exits and dividend repatriation are major contributors to this trend, which experts say solidifies Indias position as a top international investment destination. The report shows a more balanced current account, indicating strong economic fundamentals as increased foreign revenue balances out withdrawals from foreign investors. Read More..
