Battery-Material Producer Shares Rise as U.S. Set to Tariff Chinese Graphite
Shares of some Asia-Pacific battery-material producers rose sharply Friday, after the U.S. moved to impose hefty duties on graphite—a key component of battery anodes—imported from China. The U.S. Commerce Department will impose preliminary anti-dumping duties of 93.5% on Chinese graphite imports, after determining the materials were unfairly subsidized, according to a statement posted online late Thursday by the American Active Anode Material Producers.

Top Spain Stainless Steel Maker Wants EU to Be More Like Trump on Trade
Europe's approach to trade will need to be more like Donald Trump's to protect an ailing steel industry from a flood of Chinese imports, according to the head of one of the region's top stainless steel makers. Only outright tariffs can counter the wave of cheap Asian supplies that a safeguard system under the World Trade Organization's free-trade rules has failed to contain, said Bernardo Velazquez, chief executive officer of Spain's Acerinox SA.

Owning a cat in the US will get more expensive because of tariffs
Thailand's pet food producers are bracing for the end of a 90-day pause on US tariffs, set to expire on July 9. The pause temporarily reduced a steep 36 percent tariff on Thai pet food exports to the US, which is the largest foreign supplier. If no deal is reached, the 36 percent tariff could be reinstated, potentially leading to higher pet food prices for American consumers and forcing Thai producers to suspend shipments. Thai officials are hopeful of negotiating a lower tariff, possibly 10 percent, before the deadline, with trade talks reportedly making good progress. While some Thai companies face challenges, others have benefited from higher tariffs imposed on Chinese imports, allowing them to compete better in the US market.
