Lead Story#

The United States has decided against renewing the sweeping $2 trillion US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), shifting instead to rolling annual reviews of the trilateral trade pact. The decision, unveiled by US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, avoids an immediate collapse of the treaty—which technically remains in force for another decade unless a member exits—but opens the door to years of contentious, drawn-out renegotiations. By abandoning a straightforward renewal, the Trump administration has injected massive long-term uncertainty into North American manufacturing and cross-border supply chains.

Story of the Week#

The volatile ceasefire between the US and Iran dominated global markets, with early-week tit-for-tat military strikes in the Strait of Hormuz giving way to a renewed truce and indirect peace talks in Qatar. The safe passage of commercial shipping lanes prompted a massive unwinding of the war-driven energy shock, driving global oil prices sharply lower and prompting Citigroup to forecast crude could slump to $60 a barrel by year-end.
