US blocks export licenses to Huawei.

Sev­eral people famil­iar with the White House said the com­merce depart­ment had noti­fied some com­pan­ies it would no longer grant licences to any group export­ing US tech to Hua­wei. The Trump admin­is­tra­tion in 2019 imposed curbs on export­ing US tech to Hua­wei by adding the group to a black­list

Huawei

called the «entity list». «The actions are partly driven by the fact that Hua­wei as a com­pany is a dif­fer­ent animal than it was four years ago when it was focused on 5G,» said Rasser, a former CIA offi­cial, refer­ring to its expan­sion into areas such as under­sea cables and cloud com­put­ing. The move comes as Hua­wei’s oper­a­tions have sta­bil­ised.

Eric Xu, its rotat­ing chair, said in Decem­ber that 2023 would be the first year in which Hua­wei would return to «busi­ness as usual». Hua­wei secured its sur­vival with a shift to enter­prise and gov­ern­ment busi­ness, espe­cially in China, and its grow­ing cloud busi­ness. The fact the US still allowed some exports to Hua­wei also helped avert a com­plete col­lapse. In addition, Hua­wei is believed to be back­ing projects in China aimed at build­ing an import-inde­pend­ent chip sup­ply chain, efforts that the US has also begun to tar­get.

US FED rate rise.

  The US Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they plan to resume increasing interest rates to control inflation in the world's biggest economy. During the June meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee reached a consensus to keep interest rates stable for the time being to evaluate whether further tightening of policy would be necessary. However, the majority of the committee anticipates that additional rate increases will be required in the future. The minutes of the meeting have recently been made public. According to the minutes, most participants believed maintaining the federal funds rate at 5 to 5.25 per cent was appropriate or acceptable, despite some individuals wanting to raise the acceleration due to slow progress in cooling inflation. Although Fed forecasts predicted a mild recession starting later in the year, policymakers faced challenges in interpreting data that showed a tight job market and only slight improvements in inflation. Additionally, officials gr...

EU business slide.

  S&P Global’s flash eurozone composite purchasing managers’ index, a key gauge of business conditions for the manufacturing and services sector, fell 1 point to 47.1, figures showed yesterday. That is its lowest level since November 2020 and the fourth consecutive month below the crucial 50 mark separating growth from contraction. One of the few bright spots in the survey was that companies in all sectors reported a slight easing of cost pressures, price growth and supply chain constraints. However, prices charged for goods and services still rose at the sixth fastest rate since such data started in 2002. Jobs growth increased marginally from October but remained low compared with the past 18 months. Following a few months of falling price pressure in manufacturing and services, the October print shows an overall stabilisation said Jens Eisenschmidt, chief European economist at Morgan Stanley. However, German businesses, at the hub of Europe’s energy crisis, reported that manu...

India- UK trade deal.

  According to India's top trade official, talks with the UK regarding a trade agreement are progressing well, despite obstacles related to temporary work visas and the opening up industries like automotive and spirits. The Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal, explained that India is seeking transition periods or greater market access in specific sectors due to its economy, which is slightly larger than the UK's and expected to outgrow it in the coming decades. If a trade deal is reached, it would be one of the most significant agreements for Britain since leaving the EU, and it would also be necessary for India, which surpassed the UK as the fifth-largest economy last year. Goyal stated that India aims to increase its economy from $3.5tn to $35tn by 2047, the country's centenary of independence. According to officials and diplomats in India, talks about a proposed trade deal may be finished by early September, just in time for the G20 summit in New Delhi. Nigel Hu...
