Citi charges US$595 for ‘Strata Elite' credit card to rival Amex, Chase
[NEW YORK] Citigroup launched a premium credit card designed to rival ones offered by JPMorgan Chase and American Express, the latest entrant in the increasingly crowded market for cards offering high-end perks. The 'Strata Elite' card will feature an annual fee of US$595, a price that the bank says can unlock almost US$1,500 in value if used to its maximum potential. It offers the largest points rewards for hotels, car rentals and attractions booked on Citigroup's travel platform, as well as restaurant dining at peak weekend times. The card also bakes in perks for customers who fly with American Airlines Group, giving four passes per year to the airline's airport lounges and the ability to transfer Citigroup 'ThankYou Points' into reward miles with the airline. That follows an expansion of the firms' existing card partnership in December, when American Airlines chose to make Citigroup the exclusive issuer of all its credit cards. In addition to American Express and JPMorgan, Citigroup will be competing with other banks trying to break into the premium space, including Capital One Financial. The customers they vie for are highly sought after, known for their willingness to pay annual fees, and reliably spending more and prioritising travel and hospitality. 'It's always been highly competitive, competition makes us all better,' Pam Habner, Citigroup's head of US branded cards and lending, said. At US$595, plus US$75 a year for each authorised user, the card is cheaper than JPMorgan's Sapphire Reserve, which Habner helped launch when she worked there in 2016. That card's annual fee will jump to US$795 from US$550, JPMorgan said last month. In addition to the perks rolled out by Citigroup directly, the Strata Elite card will be the first in Mastercard's recently announced World Legend tier of credit cards, meaning it comes with an additional suite of benefits. World Legend cards include access to the Mastercard Collection, which translates into ticket pre-sales and streamlined airport security access, among other rewards. 'We designed benefits that we know our customers can use,' Habner said, adding that the card was designed to give customers rewards for types of spending, rather than handing them coupon-style rewards to use with specific companies. The card offers perks designed for frequent travellers, including hundreds of US dollars worth of credit to spend on Blacklane, a chauffeur service, and on GlobalEntry or TSA PreCheck to get through airport lines faster.

Samsung signs $21 billion deal to make chips for global firm
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Samsung said the deal is for contract chip manufacturing and details will not be disclosed until contract is completed at end-2033. SEOUL - Samsung Electronics said on July 28 it has signed a US$16.5 billion (S $21 billion) deal to supply chips for an unidentified major global company, sending its shares up 3.5 per cent. The South Korean tech giant said the deal signed on July 26 was for contract chip manufacturing and details of the agreement including the counterpart and terms would not be disclosed until the contract is completed at the end of 2033. The deal comes as Samsung is struggling to compete in the race to make artificial intelligence chips, which has hit its profits and share price. Samsung has customers like Tesla and Qualcomm for its foundry business, while bigger rival TSMC has customers like Apple and Nvidia. The deal comes as South Korea is seeking US partnerships in chips and shipbuilding as it is making last-ditch efforts to reach a trade deal to eliminate or cut potential 25 per cent tariffs. It is not clear how the order would affect Samsung's plan to start production at its new factory in Texas, which has been delayed as it had struggled to win major customers. Samsung is grappling to boost production yields of its latest 2-nanometer technology, and the order is unlikely to involve the cutting-edge tech, Lee Min-hee, an analyst at BNK Investment & Securities, said. Samsung has been losing market share to TSMC in contract manufacturing, underscoring technological challenges the firm faces in mastering advanced chip manufacturing to lure the likes of Apple and Nvidia away from TSMC, analysts said.

What is the status of US tariff negotiations?
Find out what's new on ST website and app. On July 27, the US struck a framework deal with the EU, imposing a 15 per cent US import tariff on most EU goods, half the threatened rate. WASHINGTON - US tariff negotiations with key trading partners have shifted into high gear as economies race to avoid steeper duties before an Aug 1 deadline. Many of these tariff hikes were part of a package first announced in April, under which dozens of economies were due to face higher levies - up from a 10 per cent level – over their trade surpluses with the United States. The twice-postponed deadline for duties to take effect is now Friday, Aug 1 . But Washington has expanded its group of targets coming up against these tariffs, while announcing agreements with the European Union, Britain, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. A deal with the European Union unveiled on July 27 sees a 15 per cent tariff imposed on European exports to the United States, down from the 30 per cent that Mr Trump earlier threatened. Where do other US trade talks stand? South Korea: Heightened pressure Seoul is racing to reach a deal with Washington, as Tokyo's success in landing an agreement has 'amped up the pressure for South Korea,' a government source told AFP.

The South Korean government did not confirm this. But South Korean officials have outlined proposals to deepen collaboration in sectors like shipbuilding, semiconductors and batteries. National Security Advisor Wi Sung-lak has told reporters that the two countries are in 'the final and most crucial phase of negotiations' to avert Mr Trump's proposed 25 per cent duty. India: Cautious optimism Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Bloomberg Television on July 24 that he was optimistic his country could reach an agreement with the United States to avert Washington's 26 per cent tariff threat. Mr Goyal insisted there were not any sticking points in the US-India relationship or in trade talks, and clarified that immigration rules – including those around H-1B visas for skilled workers – had not come up in negotiations. Despite Mr Goyal's remarks, local media reported the prospects of an interim deal before Aug 1 had dimmed. Taiwan: Working hard Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai said on July 24 that officials are 'working hard' on negotiations, amid worries that an unfavorable tariff level could hit the self-ruled island's economy. Vice-President Hsiao Bi-khim said Taipei's negotiating team was 'working almost 24 hours a day to achieve trade balance and Taiwan's industrial interests, and even to further deepen cooperation'. Canada, Mexico: Deal unclear Although Canada and Mexico were spared from Mr Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs announced in April, goods from both countries entering the United States generally face a separate 25 per cent duty if they fall outside a North American trade pact. This figure stands to jump to 30 per cent for Mexico come Aug 1, while the level for Canada was set at 35 per cent. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration was 'doing everything' possible to avert the duties and that she would speak with Mr Trump if necessary to try to reach a pact. Mr Trump told reporters on July 25 that there was no deal with Canada so far. Brazil: Political nature Brazil is girding for a virtual trade embargo on its planes, grains and other goods if Mr Trump's threatened 50 per cent tariff on its exports takes effect on Aug 1. The United States runs a trade surplus with Latin America's biggest economy, which was not originally expected to face steeper tariffs under Mr Trump's 'reciprocal' duties plan. Mr Trump has not attempted to hide the political motivation in targeting Brazil, citing a judicial 'witch hunt' against his right-wing ally, former president Jair Bolsonaro, when he unveiled the tariff rate. The political nature of the spat makes a last-minute deal appear less likely. AFP
