Vietnam Urges US Business Group to Help in Tariff Talks: Media
Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh called on a US business group to continue supporting his country's attempt to secure a final tariff agreement with the Trump administration after the two countries basically reached a consensus on the deal's framework, local media reported. Chinh made the request during a Friday meeting in Hanoi with the U.S.-Asean Business Council, The Investor website reported, citing the Vietnamese government's news portal. The group represents companies such as Apple Inc., Boeing Co. and Inc., according to its website. Leaders of the Southeast Asian nation were caught off guard by President Donald Trump's announcement last week that they had agreed to a 20% tariff, Bloomberg News reported. Vietnam seeks to lower the rate, people familiar with the matter said. Read More Vietnam Surprised by Trump Tariff Decision, Seeks Lower Rate Vietnam, which last year had the world's third-biggest trade surplus with the US, was the second country after the UK with which Trump announced a trade agreement. The US president has been issuing tariff letters to dozens of trading partners since then, slapping on duties as high as 50% ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. Chinh said the two countries had basically reached a consensus on the deal's framework, but he called on the US business group to help Vietnam obtain a reasonable and detailed tariff agreement for individual products and for some groups of goods, The Investor reported. The prime minister urged council representatives to oppose the use of trade defense measures against Vietnamese exports and actions that would undermine bilateral ties between the two countries, according to the report. He also asked companies to push the US to recognize Vietnam as a market economy. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Economists see lower recession risk and stronger job growth: WSJ survey
The economic fallout from US President Trump's policies may prove less dire than feared. Economists expect stronger growth and job creation, lower risk of recession and cooler inflation than they did three months ago, according to The Wall Street Journal's quarterly survey of professional forecasters. The reason: The Journal's previous survey was conducted at the height of the president's threats to impose eye-watering tariffs on America's biggest trading partners. He paused some of the tariffs shortly thereafter. Whether the improved mood lasts remains to be seen. This past week, Trump told numerous trading partners—including Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the European Union—that they would face much higher tariffs starting Aug. 1. Although economists' outlook improved slightly from the last survey, they still are relatively downbeat—most likely because of the persistence of trade uncertainty and muted growth to date. On average, they expect gross domestic product adjusted for inflation to grow 1% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier. That is up from an April forecast of 0.8%, but just half of what they expected in January. They see growth rebounding to 1.9% in 2026, little changed from prior surveys. On average they put the probability of recession in the next 12 months at 33%, down from 45% in April, but higher than January's 22%. 'Despite numerous headwinds, the U.S. economy is proving stubbornly resilient," said Chad Moutray, chief economist at the National Restaurant Association. 'Consumers are continuing to spend, but the mood has clearly shifted from bold to careful." The survey gathered responses from 69 economists at outfits ranging from Wall Street banks to universities to small consulting firms from July 3 to July 8. Not every forecaster answered every question. The improved outlook follows three months of generally encouraging economic data. Job growth averaged 150,000 in the past three months, better than projected in April, and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.1% in June from 4.2% in May, staying within its range of the past year. Weekly claims for initial unemployment benefits, an almost-real-time indicator of layoffs, show no cause for concern. Business and consumer sentiment, which were in free fall earlier this year, appear to have leveled off. The S&P 500 notched a record high this month. Perhaps most important, the tariff-driven inflation spike that economists widely predicted hasn't materialized. Core consumer prices, which exclude volatile food and energy components, were up 2.8% in May from a year earlier, the lowest in four years, though still higher than is consistent with the Fed's 2% target. To be sure, Trump's policies are affecting behavior. Goods imports surged 26% in the first quarter from a year earlier as consumers and firms rushed to get ahead of tariffs. After the duties took effect in April, imports plunged. Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG US, cautioned that official economic indicators, which combine actual data from surveys with estimates, often struggle to capture inflection points. 'As good as our stats are, they just weren't made for these kinds of very large moves in policy that cause a knee-jerk reaction," Swonk said. 'It makes it even harder to read the tea leaves." Trump's policies—which besides tariffs include a clampdown on illegal immigration, stepped-up deportations and a just-signed megabill cutting taxes and some spending—may also take time to filter into the real economy. Some Federal Reserve officials suspect companies won't raise prices until they have run down inventories amassed before tariffs took effect, according to minutes of their June meeting. The average economist in the Journal's survey expects Trump's tariff plans to add 0.7 percentage point to inflation as measured by the consumer-price index in the fourth quarter of 2025. Nonetheless, their average forecast of 3% inflation in December is down from an April forecast of 3.6%—though higher than the 2.7% predicted in January. 'While tariff hikes still seem likely to raise inflation in the second half of the year, their impact will be partially offset by less energy and shelter-cost inflation," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. The ultimate level of tariffs, and thus the economic impact, remains a wild card. JPMorgan economists estimate the average U.S. tariff on May 12, after Trump rolled back levies on China, was 12.2%. Tariffs since announced on steel, aluminum, copper, Vietnam and other countries have boosted that to 14.6%, and other tariffs floated by Trump would add another 6.1 percentage points, they estimate. The labor market's outlook has also recovered since April, though not to January's level. Economists expect employers to add an average of 74,070 to payrolls per month over the coming year, up from 54,619 in April. They forecast the unemployment rate rising to 4.5% in December, down from an April projection of 4.7%. That may give the Fed a little more time before cutting its interest-rate target from its current 4.25%-to-4.5% range. On average, economists see the midpoint of that range ending the year at 3.94%, up from 3.79% in April, implying one to two quarter-point cuts this year. Economists see Trump's megabill adding 0.2 percentage point to economic growth in 2025 and 0.3 in 2026. But they also see stepped-up deportations and decreased immigration fully offsetting that, shaving 0.2 and 0.3 percentage point from annual GDP growth in 2025 and 2026, respectively. 'Immigration helped power growth significantly over the past two years," said Joel Naroff, who runs his own consulting firm. 'That will wash out going forward."

Israel launches Dror-1 satellite: SpaceX Falcon 9 powers mission; digital payload onboard
Dror-1 satellite launched (Image credits: Israel War Room) Israel's new national communications satellite, Dror-1, was successfully launched into space early Sunday morning from Elon Musk 's SpaceX launch facility in Florida. The Dror-1 satellite, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), weighs 4.5 tons, spans 17.8 meters, and is equipped with the largest transmission and reception antennas ever built in Israel, according to Israel National News. It is the first in a new line of satellites that will replace the older Amos series, and is designed to fully meet Israel's communication needs for the next 15 years. According to IAI, Dror-1 is among the most advanced communication satellites in the world, built almost entirely with Israeli-made technologies. It includes a digital communication payload and 'smartphone in space' features that allow for agile and adaptable communication throughout its operational life, as per Sat News. The satellite was carried into orbit on SpaceX Falcon 9 two-stage rocket. The booster, making its 13th flight, successfully returned to Earth, landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, avoiding a sonic boom over Florida. The second stage continued to push the satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), a path that will allow Dror-1 to reach a fixed position relative to Earth. SpaceX referred to the launch as 'Commercial GTO 1,' a naming convention it has not previously used. This mission marks SpaceX's 519th launch overall, and its 85th of 2025. In the coming days, Dror-1 will open its solar panels and antennas and begin maneuvering into its final geostationary orbit, a process expected to take about two weeks. IAI described the mission as a milestone for Israel's space capabilities, demonstrating its ability to develop and deploy cutting-edge satellite technology using mostly local resources.
