Fendi opens its first store in Cancun
The store's façade is highlighted by three-dimensional handmade tile cladding in the shape of palm leaves, a choice that creates a fusion between European savoir-faire and elements of local identity.
Inside, the boutique offers an immersive experience: Italian marble, warm wood, and textures that hark back to the brand's origins in Rome are combined with a contemporary layout.
The space is conceptualised to connect itself with the environment without losing the visual codes that distinguish Fendi. The store houses leather goods, footwear and a selection of ready-to-wear for women and men, curated especially for the season.
The setting reinforces this vision with a visual proposal adapted to the destination, without renouncing the sophistication that characterises the historic brand.
In addition to the new location in Cancun, Fendi operates in Mexico through its flagship store in Artz Pedregal and four shop-in-shops in El Palacio de Hierro: two in Mexico City (Polanco and Santa Fe), one more in Monterrey, and another in Guadalajara. The country is also home to the only Fendi Casa boutique in Latin America.

EU resists renewed Trump pressure to shift digital rules
EU digital rules are not up for discussion, a spokesperson for the European Commission said in response to media reports that the US administration of President Donald Trump has instructed its diplomats to launch a lobbying campaign against the bloc's digital rulebook. Reuters reported on Wednesday that a memo signed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warned that the EU was pursuing "undue" restrictions on freedom of expression in its efforts to combat hate speech and disinformation. It warned against the Digital Services Act (DSA) – online platform rules in place from late 2023 with the aim to curb illegal content and products online. A spokesperson for the Commission told Euronews in response that 'our EU regulations and standards were never up for discussion, and this will not change.' 'We firmly rebut any censorship claims. The censorship allegations relative to the DSA are completely unfounded. Freedom of expression is a fundamental right in the EU,' the spokesperson added. EU rules have been the subject of several attacks since Trump came to power in January. Not only by government officials, but also by the Big Tech companies themselves. In April, the Commission reiterated it will not make any concessions on its digital and technology rules as part of any trade negotiations with the United States after a senior advisor of Trump openly accused the bloc of waging "lawfare" against the country's Big Tech companies. EU Tech Commissioner Henna Virkkunen told Euronews in April: "Our rules are very fair, because they are the same rules for everybody who is operating and doing business in the European Union. So, we have the same rules for European companies, American companies, and Chinese companies.' The EU executive has begun a number of probes into companies - including American ones – for suspected breaches of the DSA, and the Digital Markets Act, online competition rules.

US President Donald Trump's sweeping global tariffs go into effect
The US has started levying higher import taxes on goods from dozens of countries, four months after President Donald Trump first announced his plans to impose steep tariffs in a bid to reshape the global trading system. Products coming into the US from more than 60 nations as well as the EU will be subject to rates of up to 50% from Thursday, the White House said. The imposition of country-specific rates follows months of frantic trade negotiations ahead of an August deadline set by Trump. The US president unveiled a sweep of so-called "reciprocal tariffs" in early April, before pausing them for 90 days and then for a further four weeks. Many countries managed to reduce the original rates by reaching agreements with Washington. After deals with the Trump administration, the EU and Japan will now have their US imports taxed at 15%, below the threatened rates of 30% and 25% respectively. Elsewhere, Asian nations including Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines and Vietnam settled for levies of around 20%. Other countries face steeper rates, with Laos as well as war-torn Myanmar and Syria struck with tariffs of at least 40%. Meanwhile, goods from Brazil are being taxed at 50%, partly as a result of Trump's displeasure at the country's treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Uncertainty remains The Trump administration has given some trade partners, including India and China, longer to cut deals. The US president has yet to announce whether he will extend a 12 August deadline for reaching a trade agreement with China that would forestall earlier threats of tariffs of up to 245%. India also has no broad trade agreement with Trump. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order that could increase India's tariff rate from 25% to 50% over its continued purchase of Russian oil. Washington has given the country 21 days to respond. These tariffs, according to Indian exporters, will severely hamper their ability to compete with countries facing lower rates. A top body of Indian exporters said Thursday the tariffs will impact nearly 55% of the country's outbound shipments to America and force exporters to lose their long-standing clients. 'Absorbing this sudden cost escalation is simply not viable. Margins are already thin,' S.C. Ralhan, president of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, said in a statement. Switzerland is also among those countries that have not reached a trade agreement with Washington. The European nation's executive branch, the Federal Council, was expected to hold an emergency meeting on Thursday after President Karin Keller-Sutter and other top Swiss officials returned from a hastily arranged Washington trip that aimed to reduce Trump's 39% tariffs. On her X account, Keller-Sutter posted photos of meetings with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio — with whom her team discussed tariffs and other issues — as well as with US and Swiss business leaders. She made no reference to any deal to bring down the US tariffs on Swiss products, which are among the highest imposed on any country by the Trump administration.

Is August the worst month to invest in European stocks?
ADVERTISEMENT European equities have entered what is historically the most challenging stretch of the calendar year, as August and September consistently deliver the weakest returns for the region's stock markets. Following a strong first half in 2025 and a slightly positive July, history suggests that the summer momentum in European equities often loses steam as August arrives. The month is typically defined by thinner trading volumes, greater market sensitivity to economic and geopolitical headlines, and a consistent pattern of higher volatility. August: The weakest month for European indices Analysis of the past three decades reveals a clear seasonal downturn in August. The EURO STOXX 50, Europe's blue-chip benchmark, has averaged a 1.66% decline during the month over the past 30 years, making it the worst-performing month of the year. It has ended August in positive territory only 43% of the time, and the broader STOXX Europe 600 tells a similar story. Over the past 24 years, this index has fallen by an average 0.7% in August, also with a 43% winning ratio. The most brutal August came in 1998, when the EURO STOXX 50 plunged 14.4%, followed closely by 2001's 13.79% loss. Country indices echo August's negative trend Zooming in on national markets, the pattern of August weakness is equally pronounced. This period is the weakest month for Germany's DAX, which posts an average decline of 2.2% and finishes in positive territory just 47% of the time. In France, the CAC 40 drops by 1.47% on average in August, narrowly ahead of September's 1.49% average fall, and sees only a 37% winning rate. Italy's FTSE MIB and Spain's IBEX 35 also see the negative sign, logging average August losses of 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. German stocks: Some of the weakest August seasonality A group of Germany's blue chips consistently show downward August bias, with some of them marking it as their worst month of the year, both in terms of returns and win probability. According to TradingView data, some of the hardest-hit stocks include: • Thyssenkrupp AG leads the decline, tumbling an average 4.6% in August with a win rate of just 30%, meaning it has posted gains in only 9 of the past 30 years. • BMW AG averages a 4.1% loss in August with just a 37% win rate. Volkswagen AG, meanwhile, falls 3.3% and ends the month higher only 27% of the time — proof that even automakers aren't spared from late-summer volatility. • Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's largest lender, averages a 3.47% drop in August and matches Thyssenkrupp's 30% win ratio. • Utility giant SE and industrial titan Siemens AG also feel the seasonal drag, both slipping by nearly 2%, with win rates of 37% and 40%, respectively. • Deutsche Börse AG, operator of Germany's stock exchange, and consumer goods firm Beiersdorf AG both see their weakest performance in August, falling 1.72% and 1.66% on average, with win rates of 48% and 39%, respectively. Bottom line: August's seasonal slump hard to ignore With the EURO STOXX 50 and STOXX 600 up 8% and 7%, respectively, European equities have delivered a solid year-to-date performance. Much of this rebound has come on the back of a strong recovery from April's tariff-induced downturn, mirroring a broader global equity upswing. But history warns that August marks a persistent seasonal soft spot — particularly for Germany's corporate heavyweights, which tend to underperform more than their European peers. From broad indices to blue-chip stocks, the month shows a consistent pattern of lower returns, thinner liquidity, and heightened vulnerability to negative news flow. While no seasonal trend guarantees future performance, August remains, by many measures, the most challenging month for European investors.
