AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

EV Policy Watch: Malaysia’s MITI says it won’t roll back new rules on importing CBU EVs, arguing the move protects consumers while supporting a stronger local auto industry. Back-to-School Retail: NRF data shows 62% of shoppers have started back-to-school buying early, driven by Prime Day-style promos, with many waiting for the “best deals” to finish. Inflation & Household Budgets: US CPI cooled to 3.5% in June as gasoline inflation eased after energy costs fell, but core inflation still looks sticky—so rate relief may be limited. Utility Cost Pressure: US utilities are seeking record $18B-plus in rate hikes, with millions facing higher electricity bills even as affordability strains grow. Food Safety Alerts: Wisconsin flagged Rackow Reuben bratwurst for undeclared soy/eggs; health officials also warn a parasite linked to contaminated produce is spreading—wash produce and be cautious. Cyber & Consumer Data: 23andMe reached a multistate $18M settlement over its genetic data breach, with states including PA, NJ, SD and others receiving payouts. Retail & Product Moves: Home Depot expands private-label storage with HDX Vista Stack and Defender collections. Consumer Tech & AI: SpeechifyAI’s Simba 3.2 topped major voice-model rankings, while analysts question whether AI spending is creating “circular” demand.
