AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

US–China Summit Watch: Beijing confirmed Trump’s state visit May 13-15, with Xi expected to press for trade stability while Washington raises Iran, Taiwan arms sales, and tech access—plus a high-profile CEO entourage that includes Elon Musk and Tim Cook, while Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is reportedly skipping. Iran Pressure: The US announced fresh sanctions on 12 individuals and firms accused of helping Iran ship oil to China, as Trump also brands Iran’s latest ceasefire response “totally unacceptable.” Markets & Tech: Traders are bracing for how the summit could swing US and Chinese tech stocks, with attention on China’s AI-driven adoption and ongoing scrutiny of Chinese telecom and EV supply chains. Trade Friction at Home: US lawmakers and auto industry groups are urging Trump not to open the market to Chinese cars, while Quectel sues the Pentagon over a military designation. Regional Energy Security: ASEAN leaders urged faster ratification of APSA 2.0 and quicker rollout of the ASEAN Power Grid amid West Asia disruption risks.
