Jordan-Syria trade rebounds: Exports surge nearly 500% in early 2025
Shafaq News – Amman/Damascus Jordan's exports to Syria surged nearly 500% in the first four months of 2025, according to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Trade. Exports reached $101M through April, up from $18.3M during the same period in 2024. Cement topped the list of outbound goods, with over 6,150 truckloads transported to Syria, reflecting Jordan's "expanding logistical role in reconstruction efforts and improved bilateral ties" with the new Syrian government, the ministry reported. The Jaber–Nasib border crossing recorded heightened activity, with nearly 14,600 Jordanian trucks entering Syrian territory during the same period. The trade rebound follows new economic agreements and a plan to establish a high-level coordination council aimed at boosting cooperation in trade, energy, transport, and water sectors. Jordan's exports to Syria had exceeded $1.1B before the outbreak of war in 2011, but dropped sharply after the 2020 implementation of the US Caesar Act, which imposed sanctions on entities dealing with the Syrian government. By that year, bilateral trade had fallen to just $79M.

US-Canada trade talks resume after Ottawa drops tech tax
Shafaq News – Washington Trade negotiations between the United States and Canada resumed on Sunday after Ottawa withdrew its plan to impose a digital services tax on American technology companies, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced. The move follows a statement on Friday by the US President Donald Trump, who had suspended the talks in response to Canada's intention to proceed with the tax. Trump described the measure, which was scheduled to take effect Monday, as a 'direct and blatant attack on our country.' The proposed levy would have imposed a 3% tax on revenue generated by US digital firms—including Amazon, Google, and Meta—from Canadian users, and applied retroactively. According to estimates, US firms would have faced a $2 billion bill by the end of the month. Both leaders reportedly held a phone conversation on Sunday. Carney's office confirmed that they agreed to resume negotiations. In a statement, the Canadian government said that 'in anticipation' of reaching a trade agreement, Canada would rescind the tax plan. 'Today's announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set out at this month's G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis,' Carney said. The resumption of talks comes amid broader tensions in US-Canada relations since Trump's return to office in January. The US president has taken an unpredictable approach to trade, including repeated suggestions that Canada could be integrated as a US state. Trump and Carney last met in May at the White House, and again earlier this month during the G7 summit in Alberta, where both countries agreed to a 30-day deadline for trade negotiations. Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne also spoke on Sunday with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 'Rescinding the digital services tax will allow the negotiations of a new economic and security relationship with the United States to make vital progress,' Champagne said.

Oil declines on OPEC+ supply outlook and easing Middle East concerns
Shafaq News Oil prices fell on Monday as an easing of geopolitical risks in the Middle East and the prospect of another OPEC+ output hike in August improved supply expectations amid persistent uncertainty over the outlook for global demand. Brent crude futures fell 13 cents, or 0.19%, to $67.64 a barrel by 0344 GMT, ahead of the August contract's expiry later on Monday. The more active September contract was at $66.62, down 18 cents. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped 32 cents, or 0.49%, to $65.2 a barrel. Last week, both benchmarks posted their biggest weekly decline since March 2023, but they are set to finish higher in June with a second consecutive monthly gain of more than 5%. A 12-day war that started with Israel targeting Iran's nuclear facilities on June 13 pushed up Brent prices, which surged above $80 a barrel after the U.S. bombed Iran's nuclear facilities and then slumped to $67 after President Donald Trump announced an Iran-Israel ceasefire. The market has stripped out most of the geopolitical risk premium built into the price following the Iran-Israel ceasefire, IG markets analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note. Further weighing on the market, four delegates from OPEC+, which includes allies of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, said the group was set to boost production by 411,000 barrels per day in August, following similar-sized output increases for May, June and July. OPEC+ is set to meet on July 6 and this would be the fifth monthly increase since the group started unwinding production cuts in April. However, bearish pressure from concerns over slower global oil demand, particularly from China, is likely to persist. Uncertainty around global growth continues to cap prices, said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova. China's factory activity contracted for a third straight month in June, as weak domestic demand and faltering exports weighed on manufacturers amid U.S. trade uncertainty. In the U.S., the number of operating oil rigs, an indicator of future output, fell by six to 432 last week, the lowest level since October 2021, Baker Hughes said.
