High-level US business delegation to visit China
HONG KONG : A high-level delegation from the US-China Business Council will visit China this week and is expected to meet senior Chinese officials, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Sunday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The delegation will be led by FedEx chief executive Rajesh Subramaniam, the council's board chair, and is expected to include Boeing executives and USCBC president Sean Stein, the report added.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
'They are expected to meet with Chinese officials – potentially to revive business discussions,' a source told the SCMP.
Both sides are also working to secure a visit to China by the US president this year, the SCMP report said.
The council did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
The visit coincides with the latest round of US‑China trade negotiations in Sweden, where China's vice premier He Lifeng is meeting US officials over July 27-30 for a new round of economic and trade talks.
China faces an Aug 12 deadline to reach a durable deal with the White House or risk higher US tariffs.

NST Leader: Brazil's COP30 call to action
BRAZIL has a noble reason to host COP30, the United Nations annual climate summit, aka Conference of the Parties: to showcase to the international community that multilateral action is the only way to keep the planet liveable. Earlier in July, when hosting the 17th BRICS summit, Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva put forward his formula: multilateralism, not the law of the strongest, is the only equitable way to solve global problems. He is right at many levels, but let's take climate change. It recognises no boundaries. What gets burned in one country doesn't just stay there; it heats up the rest of the world. The action of a few nations won't work; it must be the collective effort of all. That means multilateralism must trump the law of the strongest. But by hosting COP30, Brazil has taken on three humongous challenges, all the result of failures caused by preceding COPs. First is the failed promise to triple the capacity of renewable energy, a pledge made at COP28 in Dubai. Second is climate finance, which COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan failed to do much about. Finally, arguably the toughest challenge for Brazil, is to ensure that the 196 countries expected to attend COP30 in the Amazon forest city of Belem put a brake on new investments in fossil fuels so that net zero can be achieved in 2050. Start with the renewable energy pledge made at COP28. Last year, the International Energy Agency (IEA), made media headlines when it warned that its analysis of close to 150 nations' climate action plans led it to conclude that the pledge to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 will not be met. Meeting the Dubai promise means the world must hit 11,000 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, but IEA's best-case scenario is 8,000GW. The gap may be bridgeable, but worse things have happened since the report was issued, which may widen the gap further. It may not be a bridge too far for Brazil, but to marshal some recalcitrant states would not be easy. Climate finance is equally a mammoth task. It has been an unfulfilled promise for the longest time. According to the 2025 Climate and Catastrophe Insight Report, published by Aon, an insurance company, the world lost US$368 billion to natural disasters last year. The amount is at best an underestimate. Baku, the host of COP29, will be remembered for the wrong thing on climate finance, though it badged itself as a climate finance summit. Instead, it will be remembered for walkouts and protests on climate finance, though a paltry US$300 billion every year for developing countries was eventually agreed. Belem's challenge is to beat Baku to reach US$1.3 trillion that many analysts say is needed. Finally, a giant of a challenge for Brazil: to get the world to do everything needed now to get to net zero by 2050. A tough one for Belem, given that governments around the world are spending trillions of dollars subsidising the fossil fuel industry. What is worse, some countries are putting aside their pledge not to approve any new investments in fossil fuels. This is not the way to slow climate change.

Stocks cheer Trump's trade deals after EU agreement
Europe accepted the 15% US tariff as better than the threatened 30%, though it fell short of hopes for zero tariffs. (EPA Images pic) SINGAPORE : Global stocks rose and the euro firmed on Monday after a trade agreement between the US and the EU lifted sentiment and provided clarity in a pivotal week headlined by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan policy meetings. The US struck a framework trade agreement with the European Union, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods – half the threatened rate, a week after agreeing to a trade deal with Japan that lowered tariffs on auto imports. Countries are scrambling to finalise trade deals ahead of the Aug 1 deadline, with talks between the US and China set for Monday in Stockholm amid expectation of another 90-day extension to the truce between the top two economies. 'A 15% tariff on European goods, forced purchases of US energy and military equipment and zero tariff retaliation by Europe, that's not negotiation, that's the art of the deal,' said Prashant Newnaha, senior Asia-Pacific rates strategist at TD Securities. 'A big win for the US.' S&P 500 futures rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq futures gained 0.5% while the euro firmed across the board, rising against the dollar, sterling and yen. European futures surged nearly 1%. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei slipped after touching a one-year high last week while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.27%, just shy of the almost four-year high it touched last week. While the baseline 15% tariff will still be seen by many in Europe as too high, compared with Europe's initial hopes to secure a zero-for-zero tariff deal, it is better than the threatened 30% rate. The deal with the EU provides clarity to companies and averts a bigger trade war between the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade. 'Putting it all together, what we've seen with Japan, with the EU, with the talks which are due to be held in Stockholm between the US and China, it really does negate the risk of a prolonged trade war,' said Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG. 'The importance of the August tariff deadline has significantly been diffused.' The Australian dollar, often seen as a proxy for risk sentiment, was 0.12% higher at US$0.65725 in early trading, hovering around the near eight-month peak scaled last week. Fed, BOJ await In an action-packed week, investors will watch out for the monetary policy meetings from the Fed and the BOJ as well as the monthly US employment report and earnings reports from megacap companies Apple, Microsoft and Amazon. While the Fed and the BOJ are expected to stand pat on rates, comments from the officials will be crucial for investors to gauge the interest rate path. The trade deal with Japan has opened the door for the BOJ to raise rates again this year. Meanwhile, the Fed is likely to be cautious on any rate cuts as officials seek more data to determine if tariffs are worsening inflation before they ease rates further. But tensions between the White House and the central bank over monetary policy have heightened, with Trump repeatedly denouncing Fed chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates. Two of the Fed Board's Trump appointees have articulated reasons for supporting a rate cut this month. ING economists expect December to be the likely starting point for rate cuts, but it 'may be a 50 basis point cut, if the evidence on weaker jobs and GDP growth becomes more apparent as we anticipate.' 'This would be a similar playbook to the Federal Reserve's actions in 2024, where it waited until it was completely comfortable to commit to a lower interest rate environment,' they said in a note.

US says differences with India cannot be resolved overnight for deal
India faced Western pressure to distance itself from longstanding ties with Russia and the BRICS group of developing nations. (Reuters pic) WASHINGTON : Differences between the US and India cannot be resolved overnight to arrive at a trade deal, a senior US official told reporters late on Thursday, citing geopolitical disagreements. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday Washington was still negotiating with India on trade after announcing earlier that day the US would impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from the country starting on Friday. The 25% figure would single out India more severely than other major trading partners, and threaten to unravel months of talks between the two countries, undermining a strategic partner of Washington's and a counterbalance to China. 'Our challenges with India, they've always been a pretty closed market… there are a host of other kind of geopolitical issues,' the US official said. 'You've seen the president express concern about, you know, membership in BRICS, purchases of Russian oil and that kind of thing.' While saying there were constructive discussions with India, the official added: 'These are complex relationships and complex issues, and so I don't think things can be resolved overnight with India.' India has faced pressure from the West, including the US, to distance itself from Moscow after Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. New Delhi resisted that pressure, citing its longstanding ties with Russia and its economic needs. Trump has cast the BRICS group of developing nations – of which India is a key part – as hostile to the US. Those nations have dismissed that accusation and the group says it promotes the interests of its members and of developing countries at large. Trump has also drawn India's frustration by repeatedly taking credit for an India-Pakistan ceasefire that he announced on social media on May 10. The ceasefire halted days of hostilities between the nuclear armed Asian neighbours. India's position has been that New Delhi and Islamabad must resolve their issues directly without outside involvement. Trump has reached a trade deal with India's rival Pakistan.
