AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Consumer Spending Slips: US retail sales fell 0.6% in July and University of Michigan sentiment dropped about 8% in August, with inflation expectations ticking up as households feel squeezed. Real Sugar vs. Corn Syrup: A CoBank 2026 report says demand for cane and beet sugar rose 0.6% year over year while high-fructose corn syrup fell 3.5%, signaling manufacturers and shoppers still prefer “less processed” sweeteners. Mortgage Fees Crackdown: New Jersey and 46 jurisdictions reached a $15.5M settlement with Newrez over improperly charging force-placed insurance to borrowers who already had active coverage. Food Safety Update: CDC says recalled Taylor Farms de Mexico iceberg lettuce tied to the Cyclospora outbreak should be off shelves, but most consumers don’t need to avoid all lettuce. Tech & Media for Shoppers: PayPal is reportedly in talks to sell itself to Stripe and Advent, while Dolby Vision 2 may work on existing 4K Blu-ray players—if manufacturers provide firmware updates. Tariffs Hit Consumer Tech: Trump announced new drone tariffs up to 100%, likely raising prices for some consumer drones and components. Online Reputation & Scams: Retailers are urged to respond fast to reviews, and BBB scam reports show ongoing losses from online purchase and phishing schemes.
