🌍 Back with This Week in Trade Briefcast!
Your quick, curated roundup of the latest global trade news, supply chain shifts, and trade policy developments shaping business decisions worldwide.This week, we unpack the major forces reshaping international trade: the IMF cuts its global growth outlook as conflict weighs on the world economy, the US and China escalate their AI chip and export control battle, and the European Union tightens steel safeguards while signalling a broader CBAM regime.The bigger picture: trade is becoming more fragmented, more strategic, and more heavily shaped by economic security, industrial policy, and regional resilience measures.
🎯 This week’s key stories:IMF cuts growth outlook as conflict weighs on the global economyUS and China deepen the tech and export control battleEU tightens steel safeguards and signals a broader CBAMUSTR opens a new labor case in Mexico under USMCAAustralia and Singapore strengthen essential supply resilienceVietnam requests to join the expansion of the WTO Information Technology Agreement
💡 Key takeaway: Global trade is no longer just about tariffs and market access. It is increasingly about AI controls, carbon border measures, supply chain resilience, and geopolitical risk; which is forcing businesses to rethink compliance, sourcing, and long-term strategy.
