US reaches new trade deal with European Union
Global pharmaceutical giants, including Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, are paying a tiny fraction of the billions of dollars they earn from drug sales in local taxes, at a time when they're lobbying US President Donald Trump to force an overhaul of Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. An analysis of earnings statements filed with the corporate regulator by five of the biggest US and European drugmakers shows the companies on average pay between 2 per cent and 4 per cent of their Australian sales in income tax. The numbers may make for uncomfortable reading for drug multinationals as they step up efforts to loosen the PBS' grip on the pricing of key medicines.

ASX set for modest dip; US-China tipped to extend trade truce
Equity markets are staring down a high-stakes week, with earnings season, key inflation data and a US Federal Reserve meeting all on the radar – and plenty of scope for volatility as the ASX hovers near record highs. Local futures are pointing to a modest dip at Monday's open, even after Wall Street pushed higher again, with the S&P 500 notching its fifth consecutive record close. The Fed's interest rate decision, due Friday morning AEST, is likely to set the tone. While no change is expected, Chair Jerome Powell's remarks will be closely parsed for hints of a potential September cut — especially with economic data showing mixed signals. Non-farm payrolls and the central bank's preferred inflation measure are also due this week. Back home, Rio Tinto kicks off earnings season, while Wednesday's CPI report looms large. The Reserve Bank has flagged that any policy shift hinges on fresh inflation data, and a soft enough read could pave the way for a rate cut in August. Westpac expects headline inflation to come in at 0.9 per cent for the June quarter, or 2.3 per cent annually. The RBA's preferred trimmed mean is tipped to rise 0.7 per cent, to an annual pace of 2.7 per cent. With global equities on a tear and the ASX just 1 per cent shy of its own all-time high, some strategists are starting to question how far this rally can run. 'Bubble is a big word, but the notion that the sharemarket is egregiously overvalued is one that I am sympathetic to,' said GSFM's Stephen Miller. 'These things can go on for a while, but markets have a tendency to walk up the stairs and down the elevator shaft. But I think there comes a time, too, when people like me who have been defensive haven't got that right, yet.'
