AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

India Trade & Industry: India’s April exports jumped 13.59% to $80.80bn while the trade deficit narrowed to $7.81bn, alongside a first semiconductor chip packaging push in Rajasthan (Bhiwadi) and a new EV battery market outlook report set for IESW 2026. Gulf Energy Shock: Modi’s UAE visit focused on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and safe, with talks on boosting ADNOC storage in India as Iran-linked shipping risks keep fuel prices under pressure. China–US Pivot: Trump and Xi wrapped a summit with strategic cooperation language on Iran, but North Korea was sidelined, and Xi’s Taiwan warning still hung over the talks. Markets Hit: Global bonds sold off as oil spiked, feeding a stock sell-off and higher consumer-cost fears. Semiconductor Stress: Samsung’s feared chip output cuts and a looming union strike raise supply-chain jitters. Corporate Wins: Nexon posted record Q1 earnings on global franchise growth, while Stellantis and Dongfeng signed a $1.2bn China production deal for Peugeot and Jeep EVs.
