Global events/updates
- China’s stricter rules on rare earth exports are creating big problems for European companies. Some firms have already lost millions, while others face delays and uncertainty over getting supplies. Even with licenses, access isn’t steady. Since Europe depends heavily on China for these minerals, businesses are now waiting to see what changes China’s next plan will bring.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he expects a U.S.-China trade deal before November, when reciprocal tariffs are set to kick in. He noted talks are becoming more productive, with China showing openness to an agreement. The U.S. trade deficit with China is already shrinking, and officials believe it could narrow further in 2026, aiming for fairer trade.
- Japan’s exports fell again in August, marking the fourth straight month of decline, but the drop was smaller than expected. Stronger demand from Asia and Europe helped soften the blow, while U.S. shipments, especially cars, plunged under tariffs. Slowing global demand, earlier front-loading of exports, and Japan’s political uncertainty add further pressure to the country’s trade outlook.
- Singapore’s exports dropped sharply by 11.3% in August, far worse than expected growth. Both electronics and non-electronics saw declines, with weak demand from key markets like the U.S., China, and Indonesia. Tariffs and earlier “front-loading” added pressure. This slump signals global demand challenges and raises concerns for Singapore’s trade-driven economy in the coming months.
