Taiwan to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese beer, steel for four months
[TAIPEI] Taiwan's finance ministry said on Friday it would impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese-made beer and hot-rolled steel for four months starting on July 3, citing substantial damage to Taiwan's industry.
The duties on Chinese-made beer will be as high as 64.14 per cent while for steel they will be as high as 20.15 per cent, the ministry said in a statement.
'These products have caused substantial damage to the domestic industry, and in order to prevent the industry from continuing to suffer during the period of the investigation, the products would be subject to temporary anti-dumping duties,' the ministry said.
China's Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Another private member's club expands: Mandala Club invests S$2m to grow square footage by almost 50%
[SINGAPORE] Private members' club, Mandala Club, has taken over a building next door on Bukit Pasoh Road and will spend S$2 million to expand its floor space by almost 50 per cent. Slated to open in the fourth quarter of this year, the 9,000-square foot, four-storey property will be connected internally to the club's current clubhouse, which occupies four shophouses.

The building formerly housed a clan association and the Singapore First Aid Training Centre. Mandala Club is also building a beach front property in Bali, which is slated to open some time this year. The Indonesian venue will have a 35-key hotel component. The club's expansion follows The Business Times' report last week of 67 Pall Mall's plans to open next year in Shanghai, its first Chinese outpost, as well as the collapse of another private members' club, 1880. Ben Jones, chief executive and founder of The Mandala Group told BT: 'The expansion has been in the works since late last year, and was driven by both momentum and necessity.

We reached a natural inflection point where the physical footprint of the club needed to grow in order to support the scale of our community and our programming ambitions.' Mandala Club's current clubhouse spreads across four floors and includes a gym, three restaurants, three bars, a cigar lounge, wine cellar, entertainment and music hub, co-working spaces and event spaces.

The ICON1C Group is a luxury hospitality collective co-founded with tech entrepreneur Patrick Grove's Kuala Lumpur-based Internet company, Catcha Group. 'As part of ICON1C, we've been able to make a confident, long-term investment into our flagship location,' says Jones, adding the club's being part of ICON1C sets the foundation for the future. The other brand under ICON1C Group is Amber Lounge, which is known for holding after-parties that follow Formula 1 Grand Prix races. The expansion of both Mandala Club and 67 Pall Mall – a private club focused on fine wines – follow the sudden closure of 1880 on Jun 17, with its holding and operating companies placed under provisional liquidation. 1880, which had a 22,000-square-foot space in Robertson Quay, also abruptly closed its Hong Kong branch on May 30 – just seven months after opening in the territory.

Unilever to pay US$1.5 billion for men's grooming brand Dr Squatch
[LONDON] Unilever is paying US$1.5 billion to buy men's personal care brand Dr Squatch from private-equity firm Summit Partners, the Financial Times reported on Friday (Jun 27), citing sources. The deal was announced earlier this week by all three parties, without disclosing financial details. Unilever reiterated on Friday that it will not disclose the terms of the deal, while Summit Partners did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside of regular business hours. Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report. Reuters reported last year that Summit was exploring a sale of the men's grooming brand at a valuation of more than US$2 billion. Launched in 2013 by founder and CEO Jack Haldrup, and named after the mythical creature Sasquatch, Dr Squatch started out by selling handmade bar soaps for men. The Los Angeles-based company currently sells deodorant, hair care products, colognes, lotions and other personal care products through its website and at brick-and-mortar stores. Unilever said earlier that the acquisition of Dr Squatch would complement its men's personal care offerings, which include Axe and Dove Men+Care deodorants, and that it would scale Dr Squatch internationally.

Gold glitters as mistrust spreads
A DECADE ago, I asked officials at the New York Federal Reserve if I could peek at their gold reserves. They refused point blank. The reason? Fed officials have long taken pride in having the world's biggest gold vault, dug 80 feet down into Manhattan's bedrock. But they prefer to keep it discreet, partly because many of the vault's 507,000 bars belong to countries such as Germany and Italy. Silence was literally golden. Now, however, a discordant note has been sounded. In recent weeks, politicians in Germany and Italy have demanded the repatriation of their gold bars, worth an estimated US$245 billion. So have others. 'We are very concerned about (US President Donald) Trump tampering with the Federal Reserve Bank's independence,' explains the Taxpayers Association of Europe. Neither the Fed nor European governments seem minded to act, and there are no signs of bullion moving east. On the contrary, gold has flooded into, not out of, America since Trump's election, prompting speculation that US government agencies, like private investors, might be stockpiling it (although there is no public proof of that). Either way, what is indisputable is that these repatriation appeals are a sign of spreading mistrust. The reason those bars were placed in New York vaults in the first place is that America's allies have hitherto assumed that Washington was a responsible leader of the west – and the dollar-based finance system. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up Now, however, figures in the Trump team – including Stephen Miran, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Scott Bessent, Treasury secretary – are chafing against the 'cost' of this system. Thus, the question that investors need to ask is what other countries might do if trade wars spawn capital battles as well. In Asia, this debate is already under way, as investors look for diversification. One sign is surging gold purchases. Another is that recent unusual price movements in Hong Kong markets suggest a reluctance to buy dollar assets. Meanwhile, Chinese officials are hailing the rising use of the renminbi in trade invoicing, and developing a Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (Cips) to challenge the US-controlled Swift interbank payments system. Investors also need to watch the so-called mBridge initiative, a cross-border central bank digital currency project launched in 2023 by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Last year, Washington forced the BIS to withdraw from this, leaving China in control. I suspect this is an own goal by the US. Europe, by contrast, has been fairly passive thus far. However, figures like François Heisbourg, a key European adviser, are urging preparation for a 'post-American Europe'. And while this has already sparked pledges of higher military spending, the focus is now also shifting to 'geoeconomics', or the idea that statecraft must drive industrial policy. However, analysts such as Elmar Hellendoorn, at the Atlantic Council, want to go further, with a policy of 'geofinance' too. After all, he argues, Europe is vulnerable since it not only relies on dollar finance, but is also buffeted by speculative capital flows, due to financialisation of its economy. Thus, 'large parts of the European economy are now under the strong influence, if not the direct control, of Wall Street firms, which are ultimately subject to US laws and Washington's financial statecraft', he frets. Indeed, Enrico Letta, the former Italian prime minister, fears that Europe is becoming a 'financial colony' of the US. Can this change? The European Commission is taking baby steps in that direction, by accelerating efforts to create a single European capital market. Central banks across Europe are also developing cross-border digital currencies, and the European Central Bank (ECB) itself is building a digital euro. That sets up a fascinating policy contest with Washington, which is embracing dollar-based stablecoins instead – partly because Bessent thinks this will create trillions of dollars of new demand for Treasuries. However, these efforts still seem far too timid to actually create a 'global euro moment', to quote ECB president Christine Lagarde. And that seems unlikely to change unless a crisis hits, be that a loss of market confidence in the dollar (perhaps due to fiscal jitters) or extreme aggression by the US towards Europe. Hence, why those Manhattan gold vaults matter: if such crises do ever materialise, it is easy to imagine a scenario in which American leaders (at best) will insist on using that bullion as collateral for dollar swaps or (at worst) as a tool for political coercion. Germany's Bundesbank, for its part, discounts that risk – in public at least. 'We have no doubt that the New York Fed is a trustworthy and reliable partner for the safekeeping of our gold reserves,' it tells the FT. Almost certainly so. But the debate shows that once unimaginable scenarios are at least being imagined. Reclaiming gold is a rational move. FINANCIAL TIMES
