    U.S. Accuses Over 40 Countries of Aiding China in Tariff Evasion

    The White House has identified over 40 countries, including China, India, Mexico, and Japan, as participants in a 'shadow transshipment network' to avoid U.S. tariffs. This practice, known as transshipment, involves routing goods through third countries to claim a lower tariff rate. The U.S. administration estimates that this practice costs the U.S. between $19 and $26 billion annually in lost tariff revenue. To combat this, the U.S. is developing an AI-based system to detect and penalize such practices.

    'iPhone Ultra' Launch: US Priority, Global Rollout Delayed

    Apple's first foldable iPhone, the 'iPhone Ultra', is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September. However, due to supply, testing, and pricing issues, the initial rollout will be limited to the US, with other markets receiving the device in stages over the following months. The staggered launch mirrors Apple's strategy with the Vision Pro. The iPhone Ultra's price is rumored to be significantly higher than the iPhone 18 Pro models, potentially up to $2,613 in Australia. Production issues, particularly with the hinge and foldable screen, are cited as the reason for the delayed rollout.

    EU Gas Storage Lags Behind Previous Years

    Gas injection into the European Union's underground storage facilities is significantly behind last year's levels. If current rates persist, EU gas storage will be less than 80% full by October, a level not seen since 2022 when Russia was still a major gas supplier. This is due to increased demand for electricity for air conditioning and disruptions in the global LNG market, particularly from Qatar. The EU's refusal to purchase Russian hydrocarbons has exacerbated the energy crisis, with wholesale gas prices remaining 1.5-2 times higher than at the beginning of 2022. This has led to increased household energy costs and deindustrialization in Europe.
