The SGX TSI Iron Ore CFR China (62% Fe Fines) Index traded at $97.20 per metric ton on Monday morning, May 5, 2025. Prices dipped marginally by 0.10% from Friday’s close of $97.56 amid cautious market sentiment before key Chinese economic data releases this week. Weekend trading showed modest bearish pressure as traders assessed conflicting signals from China’s manufacturing and property sectors. The iron ore market has experienced a period of consolidation characterized by limited price volatility and balanced supply-demand dynamics. Iron ore has retreated 5.23% since January despite major miners maintaining disciplined output throughout 2025. Australian Pilbara shipments remain steady at 16.5 million tons weekly while Brazilian exports continue at rates consistent with first-quarter averages. Chinese steel mills have shifted strategies from aggressive restocking to just-in-time purchasing in recent weeks. Mill inventories now average 28 days of consumption, down significantly from 35 days recorded in early March. Blast furnace utilization rates have stabilized at 82.3%, sufficient for maintaining current production but inadequate for driving aggressive raw material accumulation. This operational equilibrium contributes to the market’s current price stability. Regional disparities characterize China’s physical iron ore markets. Eastern provinces report tightening inventories due to infrastructure projects while southern regions face oversupply from concentrated seaborne arrivals. Iron Ore Faces Demand Pressures and Tariff Uncertaint Technical indicators present mixed signals for iron ore futures. Key support rests at $95.40, with a potential breakthrough opening a path toward $89.30. RSI trends lower but has not yet reached oversold territory. Forecasts for iron ore vary considerably. Trading Economics projects $96.22 per ton by quarter-end while UBS maintains a more optimistic $100 average target for 2025. Government sources suggest long-term pressure with prices potentially averaging $80 per ton. China’s property sector contraction continues to weigh on iron ore demand. Real estate investment declined 10.1% year-on-year during 2024’s first nine months while new construction starts contracted by 22.2%. Market participants now focus on President Trump’s tariff impacts on global steel trade flows. China exported over 10 million tons of steel in March, but future shipments face uncertainty from increased tariffs. Port stockpile trajectories remain critical indicators for price direction. Combined inventories at Chinese ports stand at 138 million metric tons, with the 135 million ton threshold watched carefully as a potential trigger for panic buying.

Индекс SGX TSI Iron Ore CFR China (62% Fe Fines) торговался на уровне $97,20 за метрическую тонну в понедельник утром на фоне осторожных настроений на рынке перед выходом ключевых экономических данных Китая на этой неделе. Цены незначительно снизились на 0,10% по сравнению с закрытием пятницы на отметке $97,56, поскольку трейдеры оценивали противоречивые сигналы из производственного сектора и сектора недвижимости Китая. Сокращение сектора недвижимости в Китае продолжает оказывать влияние на спрос на железную руду: инвестиции в недвижимость снизились на 10,1% в годовом исчислении, а объем нового строительства сократился на 22,2%. Участники рынка сейчас сосредоточены на влиянии тарифов президента Трампа на мировые торговые потоки стали. В марте Китай экспортировал более 10 миллионов тонн стали, но столкнулся с неопределенностью из-за повышения тарифов.

SIR KEIR STARMER hailed it as Britain’s “biggest trade deal” since Brexit, and the “most ambitious” agreement in India’s history. Neither, it must be said, are especially high bars. Despite Brexiteers’ dreams, Britain has chalked up only a handful of modest deals since leaving the EU in 2020. India, meanwhile, has long been one of the world’s least-open markets. For Britain this follows a long and painful history: Mahatma Gandhi spent hundreds of hours spinning yarn to promote his boycott of the colonisers’ cloth. That alone makes the trade deal agreed between India and Britain on May 6th significant—perhaps even a “landmark”, as Britain’s prime minister and his opposite number, Narendra Modi, claimed. The deal will add a useful boost to trade between the world’s fifth- and sixth-largest economies. Beyond that, as the first major agreement since Donald Trump’s tariffs came into effect in April, it points to how America’s disruption of global trade could accelerate bilateral negotiations around the world. What was—and wasn’t—included here will be studied closely elsewhere. The core of the deal was a big reduction in tariffs. The negotiating teams will be toasted, above all, by Scottish distillers and Indian drinkers, thanks to the halving of tariffs on whisky and gin, from 150% to 75%. Indian tariffs on cars will fall from 100% to 10%, subject to a quota that is yet to be specified. In total India agreed to reduce tariffs on 90% of products—the most open agreement on goods it has struck. Britain, meanwhile, will reduce tariffs on Indian clothes, shoes and food. According to the British government, the deal will boost annual trade between the two countries by £25.5bn ($34bn) over 15 years. That is a rise of more than a third, with the larger part coming from British exports (at the moment India accounts for around 2% of Britain’s trade in goods). Compared with other deals that Britain has struck since Brexit, notably with Australia and New Zealand, Indian tariffs started at a far higher level, and British businesses will benefit from selling into a much larger market. Britain also won greater access to India’s government procurement contracts, though experts think that will help mostly with the sale of goods. That points to the lack of progress in the area that could have been most beneficial: services. The British government had wanted easier access to the Indian market for legal and accountancy firms, and stronger protections for British companies selling products in India. Its refusal to budge on India’s biggest ask—more visas for Indian workers, particularly in IT—put that beyond reach. The government is due to publish an immigration white paper next week. Hardening attitudes to immigrants are probably the biggest constraint on rich countries lowering barriers. One part of the deal has already sparked controversy. Indian workers on inter-company transfers in Britain will not have to pay national insurance for three years, to avoid being double taxed, given they already make social-security contributions at home. Such deals, which apply reciprocally, are common. India already has them with many countries including France, Germany and the Netherlands; Britain does, too. Yet politicians on the right, including Nigel Farage, attacked the proposal, arguing it will undercut British workers. It is true that Indian companies employ more workers in Britain than elsewhere, though still only around 110,000 in all. But the number of Indian workers who can enter via this route will not rise—indeed it may well fall. Social security and Britain’s apparent refusal to agree to India’s request for an exemption from carbon border taxes will be among the aspects of the deal studied closely in Brussels. Progress on a potentially much larger trade deal between India and the EU has stalled on several issues, including agriculture and electric vehicles, but some parts of the one with Britain could offer a template. “This deal will definitely set a precedent,” says Sam Lowe of Flint Global, a consultancy. Until now, India had struck serious trade deals with relatively few countries. But since Mr Modi won re-election last year his appetite for trade agreements has grown. India is set to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the trade war between America and China. Signing deals with countries like Britain signals to investors that it is a stable place to grow a business, says Abhijit Das, a trade expert based in New Delhi. Britain, meanwhile, is hoping to finalise deals this year with the UAE and Switzerland, as well as with the EU. Both Britain and India are said to be close to making deals with America. Mr Trump’s impact on negotiations between other countries can be overstated. Domestic factors will still matter most. But having appeared stuck only months ago, Britain and India have concluded this deal at a clip. Mr Das reckons that America’s upending of the global order could spur negotiators to act more quickly and pragmatically, taking more risks and prioritising finalising deals over agreeing every point. It has certainly “focused minds”, says Vikram Doraiswami, India’s high commissioner in London. “The attitude is let’s bag what we can get.” Call it the start of the deals. ■

The agreement also includes provisions for Indian workers on inter-company transfers in Britain not having to pay national insurance for three years. Social security and carbon border taxes are among the aspects of the deal that will be studied closely in Brussels.

Великобритания и Индия согласились на значительную торговую сделку, названную «большим торговым договором» после Brexit. Соглашение включает в себя снижение тарифов на 90% товаров, с индийскими тарифами на автомобили, которые падают с 100% до 10%. Договор ожидается, что он увеличит годовой объем торговли между двумя странами на £25.5 млрд ($34 млрд) в течение 15 лет. Великобритания подписала торговую сделку с Индией, которая обеспечивает большее доступ к контрактам государственного заказа Индии и более широкий рынок для британских бизнесов. Однако эксперты отмечают, что договор не дотягивает в областях услуг, где британские компании не получат легкого доступа на индийский рынок. Соглашение также включает в себя положения о том, что индийские работники на межкомпанийных переводах в Великобритании не будут платить национальный страховой взнос в течение трех лет. Социальное обеспечение и углеродные пошлины являются среди аспектов договора, которые будут изучаться тщательно в Брюсселе. Прогресс в потенциально более крупной торговой сделке между Индией и ЕС замедлился из-за проблем с сельским хозяйством и электромобильным транспортом, но части договора с Великобританией могут служить шаблоном. Договор установит прецедент для будущих соглашений, согласно Сэму Лоу из Flint Global.

(May 7): US President Donald Trump said he would prescribe tariff levels and trade concessions for partners looking to avoid higher duties, appearing to move away from the idea that he would engage in back-and-forth negotiations. “We’re going to put very fair numbers down, and we’re going to say, here’s — what this country, what we want. And congratulations, we have a deal. And they’ll either say ‘great’, and they’ll start shopping, or they’ll say, ‘not good’,” Trump said Tuesday at the White House as he met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. “It’s going to be a very fair number, it’ll be a low number. We’re not looking to hurt countries,” he added. Tuesday’s meeting comes just a week after the Canadian prime minister’s Liberal Party won an election in which Carney vowed to strengthen his country’s economic independence and protect its sovereignty from the US president, who has openly mused about making Canada the 51st state. With Carney, Trump indicated that he would strike a friendlier relationship than the one he had with former prime minister Justin Trudeau, who the US president said he “didn’t like”. The president, however, cast doubt on whether Carney will be able to strike a deal. When asked whether there was anything the Canadian leader could say to convince him to lift the tariffs on his country, Trump said “no”. “There’s no reason for us to be subsidising Canada,” Trump said. “Canada’s a place that will have to be able to take care of itself economically.” As Trump was speaking, the Canadian dollar briefly rose to its highest level since October at C$1.375 per US dollar, before paring those gains to trade at C$1.377 in late afternoon New York time. Trump’s comments come as US trading partners rush to negotiate with the administration to avoid higher levies. The president said Sunday the first deals could come as soon as this week. But his latest comments indicate he could continue to change his approach, which could further roil financial markets that have struggled with uncertainty surrounding his trade policy. Trump said he was tired of questions about when deals would be struck. “We don’t have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now if we wanted,” he said. “We will sign some deals. But much bigger than that is we’re going to put down the price that people are going to have to pay to shop in the United States.” Trump said he had already gotten some nations to agree to concessions, saying India had agreed to roll back tariffs on American goods. Carney offered praise for Trump, calling him a “transformational president focused on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker” and expressing eagerness to work with the US on “defense and security, securing the Arctic and developing the Arctic”. But Carney also pushed back on Trump’s calls for his country to be absorbed by the US, saying “it’s not for sale, it won’t be for sale, ever”. Trump insisted there are merits to Canada joining the US, but said Carney’s stance would not negatively affect their talks. “I still believe that but, you know, it takes two to tango,” Trump said. “It would really be a wonderful marriage.” 51st state After the meeting, Carney told reporters he asked Trump to stop calling Canada the 51st state, though he didn’t say how the president responded. Asked what was going through his mind in the Oval Office as Trump referred to the Canada-US border as an artificial line, Carney replied: “I’m glad that you couldn’t tell.” The Canadian leader said he and Trump had a positive discussion that created a “good basis” for later negotiations on trade and security. They agreed to have further conversations in the coming weeks, including at the Group of Seven leaders’ summit in Alberta in June. “These are the discussions you have when you’re looking to find solutions, as opposed to laying down terms,” he said. “We have more — a lot more — work to do. I’m not trying to suggest in any respect that we can have one meeting and everything’s changed, but now we are engaged.” Separately, Trump told reporters the meeting went well. “We had a very good meeting. No tension. We want to do what’s right for our respective peoples, and that’s what’s going to happen,” he said. The president said he hadn’t called Carney “governor”, as he did at times with Trudeau. “I haven’t done that yet, and maybe I won’t. I did have a lot of fun with Trudeau. But I think this is a big step up, it’s a good step up for Canada.” Trump applied tariffs of 10% and 25% to Canada in March, while excluding certain goods covered under the North American trade pact. The president has said the tariffs were necessary to curb the fentanyl trade, even though US government data shows that very little of the drug enters the US through Canada. Canada, in turn, has applied some countermeasures, including some tariffs on US consumer products. Trump also levied 25% tariffs globally to sectors where Canada is a major source of US imports, including automobiles and aluminium. And he’s threatened duties on other sectors such as lumber and most recently film production. The impact on the auto industry, which has supply chains that crisscross the US, Canada and Mexico threaten to be particularly stark. The president softened the auto tariffs by applying them only to the non-US portions of cars, lowering the effective rate for vehicles manufactured in Canada as part of the heavily integrated continental auto sector. Trump has also said he’ll apply tariffs to auto parts that comply with the USMCA trade pact, though hasn’t specified when. Global tariffs on other auto parts went into effect May 3. Carney said he pressed the case for tariffs to be lifted and told Trump about Canada’s efforts to strengthen its border security. He also said the two discussed how they could strengthen the North American auto industry against foreign competition, including from Asia. A senior Canadian government official, asking not to be identified discussing the private meeting, said Trump sought Carney’s perspective on a number of foreign policy issues, including Russia, Iran and China. Military spending Carney sought to explain why he believes none of the US tariffs on Canada make sense, while doing it in a way that was not confrontational, the Canadian official said. He also described Canada’s plan to boost defense spending, especially in the Arctic, which the president was very interested in, the official said. Canada and the US exchanged US$916 billion (RM3.88 trillion) in goods and services last year, according to data from the US Census Bureau. The US had a trade deficit of US$36 billion with Canada in 2024, partly driven by imports of oil and gas. Amid the tariff war, Canadian exports to the US tumbled in March, even as shipments to other countries soared. Canadian exports to the US plunged 6.6%, the biggest drop since the Covid-19 pandemic, while imports fell 2.9%, Statistics Canada data showed Tuesday. Trump indicated he would pursue just “subtle changes” to the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement negotiated during his first term and that their talks would be “very friendly”. “I think I was probably the greatest thing that happened to him but I can’t take full credit,” Trump joked Tuesday. “Probably one of the greatest comebacks in the history of politics, maybe even greater than mine.” The president also teased what he said would be a “great announcement over the next few days”, before he leaves on a trip to the Middle East, but said that it would not “necessarily” be trade related.
US President Donald Trump announced that he would set tariff levels and trade concessions for partners to avoid higher duties, signaling a shift away from back-and-forth negotiations. He stated that fair numbers would be proposed, and countries would either accept or reject them. This approach aims to facilitate deals with trading partners. The move was made during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House.
Президент США Дональд Трамп объявил о том, что он установит уровни тарифов и торговые льготы для партнеров, чтобы избежать общих вышеустановленных пошлин. Это signaling shift away от обратной связи переговоров. Он заявил, что будут предложены честные числа, и страны либо примут их, либо откажутся. Этот шаг был сделан во время встречи с канадским премьер-министром Марком Карни в Белом доме.

Как сообщает агентствоBloomberg, Индия предложила отменить пошлины на ограниченный объем импорта из США, включая сталь, автозапчасти и фармацевтическую продукцию, в обмен на аналогичные шаги со стороны Вашингтона. По данным агентства, предложение было сделано во время визита индийских чиновников в Вашингтон в конце апреля. Обе стороны пытаются ускорить заключение двустороннего торгового соглашения этой осенью. По данным источниковBloomberg, беспошлинный импорт будет применяться только к определенному объему товаров. После превышения лимита будут применяться стандартные тарифные ставки. Среди условий США — разрешение споров по так называемым индийским приказам о контроле качества (QCO), которые Вашингтон рассматривает как нетарифные барьеры. Это обязательные стандарты качества, которым должны соответствовать все производители, включая иностранных экспортеров. США характеризуют их как непрозрачные и несправедливые. В ответ Индия готова пересмотреть эти требования в определенных секторах, таких как медицинские приборы и химикаты, и предлагает подписать соглашение о взаимном признании стандартов. Переговоры все еще продолжаются, и пока неясно, будут ли эти предложения включены в окончательную сделку.

India proposes to waive tariffs on a limited volume of imports from the US, including steel, auto parts and pharmaceuticals, in exchange for similar steps by Washington. According to Bloomberg sources, duty-free import will only apply to a specific volume of goods. Once the limit is exceeded, standard tariff rates will be applied. Among the conditions set by the US are the resolution of disputes over so-called Indian quality control orders (QCO), which Washington considers non-tariff barriers. These are mandatory quality standards that all producers, including foreign exporters, must comply with. The US characterizes them as opaque and unfair. In response, India is willing to review these requirements in certain sectors, such as medical devices and chemicals, and proposes signing an agreement on mutual recognition of standards. Negotiations are still ongoing, and it is unclear whether these proposals will be included in the final deal.

International prices of certain commodities being traded by the Philippines continued to rise in April, based on the World Bank’s latest report. Figures from the World Bank showed that prices of coffee varieties like arabica and robusta sustained their upward momentum last month as the market was buffeted by supply shortfalls linked to lingering effects of weather-related shocks. Average arabica prices surged by 63.95 percent to $8.64 per kilo in April from $5.27 per kilo recorded in the same period last year. The average quotation of robusta variety jumped by 28.37 percent to $5.43 per kilo from $4.23 per kilo. The World Bank projected that the average quotations of arabica and robusta varieties will settle at $8.50 per kilo and $5.50 per kilo, respectively, in 2025. These figures were higher than the average prices of both varieties last year, at $5.62 per kilo and $4.41 per kilo, respectively. Despite this, the international organization expects prices of these varieties to ease in 2026, primarily driven by higher arabica output in Colombia, the world’s second-largest arabica producer. However, the World Bank said certain factors could dampen this upbeat outlook. “This baseline forecast is subject to significant risks, particularly the upside risk that low rainfall and above-average temperatures earlier in the year could negatively affect the 2025–26 harvest in Brazil, the world’s leading coffee producer.” Data from the World Bank also indicated that fertilizers like urea were more expensive last month due to stronger demand and production shortfalls. Average urea quotations climbed to $386.9 per metric ton (MT), from $320 per MT last year. The international organization said it expects quotations of urea to rise by 15 percent this year to $390 per MT, higher than the $338 per MT average in 2024. Corn prices also climbed by 12.15 percent to $215 per MT last month from $191.7 per MT in the previous year as “hotter and drier-than-normal weather in parts of South America” boosted quotations for the staple crop. The World Bank, however, expects prices of the key crop to edge down by 2 percent this year at $187 per MT, due to increased tariffs on US-China trade and lower crude oil prices, “which reduce demand for ethanol, and thereby for maize.” As for the Philippines’ top farm export, World Bank figures showed that the average prices of coconut oil swelled by 74.25 percent to $2,483 per MT in April from $1,425 per MT. Given the sustained increase in prices of the tropical oil, the World Bank said average coconut oil quotations will settle at $1,800 per MT this year. This figure is higher than the average price of $1,519 per MT recorded in 2024. Among the metal prices, however, World Bank data indicated that only global quotations of tin registered an increase in April. Tin prices inched up by 2.49 percent to $32,565 per MT last month from $31,775 per MT in the previous year. It expects the average prices of tin to reach $31,000 per MT this year and $31,500 per MT in 2026 amid the steady growth in demand, “reaching near-record nominal levels on an annual average basis.” Its average price stood at $30,066 per MT in 2024.
International prices of coffee and fertilizers continued to rise in April, according to the World Bank's latest report. The average price of arabica coffee surged by 63.95% to $8.64 per kilo, while robusta coffee jumped by 28.37% to $5.43 per kilo. Urea prices also climbed due to stronger demand and production shortfalls, with an expected rise of 15% this year. The World Bank projects that prices will ease in 2026 driven by higher arabica output in Colombia. World Bank expects prices of maize to edge down by 2% this year due to increased tariffs on US-China trade and lower crude oil prices, while average coconut oil quotations will settle at $1,800 per MT this year. Tin prices inched up by 2.49% to $32,565 per MT last month and are expected to reach $31,000 per MT this year.
Согласно последнему отчету Всемирного банка, мировые цены на кофе и удобрения продолжили расти в апреле. Средняя цена на кофе арабика выросла на 63,95% до 8,64 доллара за килограмм, в то время как кофе робуста подскочил на 28,37% до 5,43 доллара за килограмм. Цены на карбамид также выросли из-за роста спроса и сокращения производства, и ожидается, что в этом году они вырастут на 15%. Всемирный банк прогнозирует, что в 2026 году цены снизятся из-за увеличения производства арабики в Колумбии. Всемирный банк ожидает, что цены на кукурузу снизятся на 2% в этом году из-за повышения тарифов на торговлю между США и Китаем и снижения цен на сырую нефть, в то время как средние котировки кокосового масла в этом году составят 1800 долларов за тонну. Цены на олово выросли на 2,49% до 32 565 долларов за тонну в прошлом месяце и, как ожидается, достигнут 31 000 долларов за тонну в этом году.

(May 7): Volvo Cars said on Wednesday it would make production changes and cut 5% of the workforce at its Charleston plant in the United States due to changing market conditions and evolving trade policies, including tariffs. A spokesperson for Volvo Cars said the changes would affect about 125 of the 2,500 employees at its factory in South Carolina. It was not immediately clear which positions would be affected or how the cuts would affect production at the plant in Charleston. Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, said it remained committed to creating 4,000 jobs in South Carolina and that it still planned to boost output there in the future. It added in an emailed statement that the cuts were not included in the upcoming redundancies flagged alongside its earnings for the first quarter last week, when it said it would slash costs by 18 billion Swedish crowns (US$1.88 billion or RM7.9 billion). Volvo Cars declined to comment on when it would be able to disclose more details around the upcoming job cuts. The carmaker said the United States remained a key part of its long-term strategy and that it was focused on sharpening its US product line-up and manufacturing. Volvo Cars has nearly 43,000 employees globally according to its 2024 annual report. Some 29,000 are in Europe, around 10,000 in Asia and 3,000 in the Americas region. While the Charleston factory has a capacity to produce 150,000 cars annually, it currently only makes the EX90 electric SUV and Polestar's model 3 with most cars imported from Europe. In an April retail sales update, the company said it had sold 1,316 EX90s in the US year to date.

Oil prices entered Thursday morning with Brent crude near $61.50 and WTI above $58, reflecting a market still under pressure despite a modest overnight rebound. The latest data and technical charts show a market grappling with excess supply, weak demand signals, and persistent uncertainty around global trade. The previous session saw prices fall sharply, with Brent and WTI both losing about 1.7%. This drop followed OPEC+’s decision to accelerate production increases, a move that added to already mounting concerns about oversupply. OPEC+ will raise output by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June, with Saudi Arabia pushing for stricter discipline among members. This policy shift comes as US producers also slow drilling activity, especially in the Permian Basin, in response to lower prices and shrinking margins. US inventory data provided a brief respite for bulls. Government figures showed crude stocks fell by more than 2 million barrels last week, beating expectations. However, gasoline prices rose, and analysts worry that demand is not recovering as the US enters the summer driving season. The drawdown in crude stocks, while positive, has not been enough to reverse the broader downward trend in oil prices, which have fallen more than 17% since the start of 2025. Trade tensions continue to weigh on sentiment. Hopes for a breakthrough in US-China negotiations remain muted after President Trump hinted at a trade deal with the UK but refused to roll back tariffs on China. Market participants fear that ongoing tariffs could further erode global economic growth and oil demand. Analysts expect the peak impact of these trade disruptions to hit in the third quarter, with prices likely to remain stuck in the mid-to-high $50s for WTI. Oil Market Outlook Technical analysis confirms the bearish outlook. Both Brent and WTI trade below their 200-period simple moving averages, a classic sign of a sustained downtrend. Shorter-term moving averages have started to flatten, but the overall trend remains negative. ‘The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for both contracts hovers near the midpoint, suggesting neither oversold nor overbought conditions, but momentum is weak. Bollinger Bands show prices hugging the lower edge, indicating persistent selling pressure and low volatility. MACD readings remain negative, with no clear sign of a bullish crossover. Support levels for Brent sit at $60 and $61, with resistance at $62.50 and $64. WTI faces support at $57 and resistance at $58.50 and $60. Volume remains subdued, with no significant inflows into oil ETFs, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. The market’s core story is simple: supply is rising faster than demand, and traders see little reason to bet on a quick turnaround. Until trade tensions ease or demand picks up, oil prices will likely remain under pressure.

Rabat – Masterflex Group, a company specializing in manufacturing connections and hose systems, announced on Monday its plans to open a new plant in the MIDPARC free trade zone near Casablanca. “With an investment of almost three million euros over the next five years, the company plans to build a production facility and offices on an area of around 4,000 square meters,” Masterflex Group said. The company added that the opening of the facility is part of its first step, seeking to create at least 65 jobs in the coming years. Masterlex CEO Andreas Bastin commented on the opening of the new plant, recalling the importance of the global aviation industry that is experiencing an “extraordinary increase in demand for air travel.” The sector is reaching “record highs both nationally and internationally,” he said, noting that Morocco has become an attractive location for aviation companies thanks to its investment-friendly climate and its proximity to Europe. “The good training, the high quality of the work, the strict adherence to processes and quality standards, but also the geographical proximity and the overall costs – these are all factors that convinced us to choose Morocco,” Bastin explained. The group further stressed the importance of the aerospace and automotive sectors in Morocco, noting that the Masterflex Group is benefiting from a major investment program in this sector. Data from 2024 shows that Morocco’s aviation manufacturing sector concluded last year with unprecedented growth. Exports increased by 17.3% to reach $2.1 billion in the first ten months, surpassing the previous year’s record. President of Midparc Hamid El Andaloussi said in an interview last August that the country’s aerospace exports are expected to double to $4 billion by 2030. A new analysis by Marie-Noelle Nwokolo, an associate researcher at the Brenthurst Foundation, also highlighted the growing importance of Morocco’s aviation sector. According to Nwokolo, the North African country was the first African country to sign an Open Skies agreement with the EU in 2006. Morocco has long emphasized its vision to double employment in the aerospace sector by 2030. The sector created an overall of 20,000 jobs, reaching an integration rate exceeding 40.5%.
Masterflex Group plans to invest almost three million euros over five years to open a new plant in the MIDPARC free trade zone near Casablanca, creating at least 65 jobs. This move is part of its expansion into the aerospace and automotive sectors in Morocco, which has seen unprecedented growth in aviation manufacturing exports reaching $2.1 billion in the first ten months of 2024.
Компания Masterflex Group планирует инвестировать почти три миллиона евро в течение пяти лет для открытия нового завода в свободной экономической зоне MIDPARC недалеко от Касабланки, что приведет к созданию не менее 65 рабочих мест.

The European Union and Singapore have taken a significant step forward in their bilateral trade relations with the signing of a landmark Digital Trade Agreement (DTA). Signed by Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič and Singapore Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu Hai Yien, this Agreement marks a major milestone in deepening EU-Singapore cooperation in the digital domain. It also reflects the clear commitment of both sides to strengthen their longstanding economic relations and uphold the rules-based trading order. The DTA allows the EU and Singapore to keep pace with the fast-evolving nature of the digital economy. It sets a high standard for digital trade rules between the EU and Singapore and raises the ambition of digital trade rules globally. It builds on the EU's approach for digital and data rules that puts people and their rights at the centre. Fostering open and competitive digital economies Singapore is a key partner of the EU. The DTA demonstrates a clear commitment of both partners to be at the forefront of new digital developments while upholding open digital economies that are competitive, transparent, fair, and free of unjustified barriers to international trade. The DTA will enhance consumer protection, facilitate trusted cross-border data flows and provide legal certainty for businesses that want to engage in cross-border digital trade, as well as addressing unjustified barriers to digital trade. This includes, for instance, the protection of privacy and personal data, customs duties on electronic transmissions, electronic contracts, electronic authentication and trust services, online consumer trust, unsolicited direct marketing communications, open government data, and regulatory cooperation on digital trade. The DTA will prevent protectionist practices and policies by prohibiting unjustified data localisation measures. This will help to ensure trusted cross-border data flows and the protection of source code against unauthorised disclosure. As part of the negotiations, the Commission ensured full respect for the EU's privacy and data protection framework, and the preservation of regulatory space in pursuing legitimate public policy objectives. Next Steps The EU and Singapore will now follow their respective procedures to work towards ratification of the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement. On the EU's side, the formal ratification of the Agreement will require the consent of the European Parliament. The text of the DTA is already publicly available as an annex to the 14 April 2025 Decision of the Council to authorise the Commission to sign the Agreement and will be published on the Commission's website shortly. Background The EU-Singapore DTA is a modern, self-standing agreement – meaning it is separate to the Free Trade Agreement and Investment Protection Agreement between both parties. The negotiations for the DTA were launched on 20 July 2023 by Commission Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis and Singaporean Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong. Following the political conclusion of the negotiations on 25 July 2024, the Council authorised the Commission to sign the DTA with its decision of 14 April 2025. As a principle of international law, the signature of an international agreement validates the text and indicates the parties' willingness to formally bring the agreement to the approval phase. Signature alone does not constitute consent to be legally bound. Digital trade is growing in size and importance: over 60% of global Gross Domestic Product is now considered linked to digital transactions. In 2019, global online sales rose to over $26 trillion. The EU is the world's largest exporter of services, and 48% of those services (excluding investment) are digital. In 2022 more than half of the total trade in services between the EU and Singapore was digitally delivered (55% - €43 billion). Digital trade rules foster consumer protection online, and bring new opportunities for businesses, notably for micro, small and medium enterprises to participate in global value chains.

(May 8): Infineon Technologies AG forecast revenue in the current quarter that will miss analysts’ expectations and cut its outlook for the year after the German chipmaker factored in potential declines due to tariffs and currency fluctuations. The company gave a third-quarter sales outlook for €3.7 billion (RM17.77 billion), in a statement on Thursday. That compares to an average analyst estimate of €3.84 billion compiled by Bloomberg. Infineon said that while it hasn’t seen tariffs impacting orders yet, it believes sales will have a “slight decline” for the year after forecasting that they’d be flat or slightly increase previously. Chief executive officer Jochen Hanebeck said the company was on track to hit its former guidance before tariffs and a less favourable exchange rate between the euro and the dollar. Infineon — which makes semiconductors for smartphones, the automotive sector and data centres — had benefitted from a boom in artificial intelligence (AI) that helped it work through an industrywide demand slump for mature chips. “We can only guesstimate the effects of tariff disputes,” Hanebeck said in the statement. “We have therefore applied a haircut of 10% of expected revenue in the fourth quarter of the 2025 fiscal year.” Still, analysts, including Citigroup’s Andrew Gardiner, said that the company’s results show that demand for its chips is recovering on track and that the ultimate impact of the levies is still unknown. Infineon shares rose 2.4% to €30.98 at 9.44am in Frankfurt trading. The stock has declined 1.4% this year. "Infineon’s lowered fiscal-2025 revenue guidance may be a result of stronger pricing pressure, in addition to the direct hit from exchange rates and trade wars which the chipmaker states in justification. The miss on 2Q automotive sales might be partly due to some specific projects, including issues with powertrains made by Inovance for Xiaomi. Infineon still expects full-year AI revenue to be around €600 million, mirroring our expectation," says Ken Hui, technology analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. European peers STMicroelectronics NV and NXP Semiconductors NV also said last month that tariff announcements haven’t had any direct impact on their businesses so far, but warned that the global levies from US President Donald Trump made outlooks for the rest of the year uncertain. Trump’s administration is negotiating final tariff levels with countries around the world after announcing global levies on goods coming into the US. The uncertainty has led to a number of companies across industries saying they’re unsure of how they’ll perform in the rest of the year. While Infineon got about 11% of revenue from the US last year, the company’s ultimate performance is likely to be tied to how well automakers and consumer electronics makers cope. “The geopolitical environment has become much more volatile in the last few weeks,” Hanebeck said on a call with reporters. “The import tariffs will probably put the brakes on global vehicle production.” Infineon’s revenue in the quarter that ended in March fell 1% from a year earlier to €3.59 billion, in-line with analysts’ expectations. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the period were 34 cents, down from 42 cents a year ago. Separately, Infineon said it received final funding approval from Germany for a new plant in Dresden. The company plans to invest more than €5 billion of its own money in the plant, which is set to begin production next year. The company has about €1 billion in government support. In early April, Infineon agreed to buy Marvell Technology Inc’s automotive networking business for US$2.5 billion (RM10.59 billion). The acquisition is expected to close this year and would help Infineon’s presence in a key technology for self-driving cars. Infineon has won market share from its rivals during the slump in demand for automotive chips, caused in part by sluggish sales of electric vehicles.
Infineon Technologies AG has forecast revenue for the current quarter to miss analysts' expectations due to potential declines caused by tariffs and currency fluctuations. The company's sales outlook for the third quarter is €3.7 billion, lower than the average analyst estimate of €3.84 billion. Infineon's revenue fell 1% to €3.59 billion in Q1 due to import tariffs and a slump in demand for automotive chips. The company plans to invest over €5 billion in a new plant in Dresden, Germany, with government support of around €1 billion. Infineon is acquiring Marvell Technology Inc's automotive networking business for $2.5 billion to strengthen its presence in self-driving car technology.
Infineon Technologies AG прогнозирует, что доходы за текущий квартал будут ниже ожиданий аналитиков из-за потенциальных спадов, вызванных тарифами и курсовыми колебаниями. Компания ожидает продажи в размере €3,7 млрд за третий квартал, что ниже средней оценки аналитиков в размере €3,84 млрд. Доходы Infineon снизились на 1% до €3,59 млрд в Q1 из-за импортных пошлин и снижения спроса на автоэлектронику. Компания планирует инвестировать более €5 млрд в новый завод в Дрездене, Германии, с поддержкой правительства в размере около €1 млрд.

The excess of available shipping tonnage, against the backdrop of a shortage of stable cargo flows, continues to put pressure on the maritime shipping market in Ukraine, specialists from Spike Brokers stated. "Shipowners are trying to raise rates, but low demand and high competition among the fleet prevent them from doing so. As a result, the market is stagnant, and the lack of new cargoes holds back any fluctuations in rates," they noted. Against this backdrop, freight rates from the Danube ports and Greater Odessa have remained unchanged over the past week. "It is expected that this situation will remain in place at least until the start of the new season. Market revival is possible with an improvement in the export situation," the experts predict. They also clarified that as of May 7, the market transportation rates from the port of Izmail were as follows: - Romania – 8-9 euros (1-3 thousand tons); - eastern coast of Italy – $28-30 (5-7 thousand tons). The transportation rates from the port of Chornomorsk are as follows: - eastern coast of Italy – $16-17 (30-35 thousand tons); - eastern coast of Spain – $18-20 (25-30 thousand tons).
