AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tariff Shock Meets Consumer Reality: A U.S. court fight over Trump’s 10% universal tariffs just dealt another blow, but airfare relief is unlikely right away—tariffs can still ripple through aircraft parts, maintenance, and travel supply chains. US–China Ag Push: The U.S. is pressing China for broader agriculture purchases beyond soybeans, aiming to calm farmer anxiety as prices and input costs stay brutal. USMCA Clock: The US–Mexico–Canada deal heads into its July 1 “joint review” deadline, with the big question being whether the pact gets fixed or effectively sunsets. Venezuela Recovery Bet: Venezuela’s central bank chief forecasts 8% growth in 2026 after debt restructuring moves to restart global finance ties. Food & Retail Pressure: Grocery costs rose 0.7% in April, the biggest monthly jump since 2022, adding to gas-driven strain. LATAM Labor Shift: Chile’s labor market is seeing a sharp drop in Venezuelan workers, tied to tougher immigration and Venezuela’s political shake-up. Brazil Meat Under EU Scrutiny: Ireland’s food regulator welcomed tighter EU import rules, putting more pressure on Mercosur exporters as compliance timelines tighten. Tech & Payments: Blokko and WalletConnect are teaming up to bring crypto/stablecoin payments to retail POS networks across the US and Latin America.
