A reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would do little to swiftly ease the pain inflicted by higher prices for fertilizer, food, and fuel. Less fertilizer applied earlier this year means smaller harvests ahead — a driver for higher food prices. From Latin America to Africa to Asia, some 33 million people are at risk of falling into poverty this year because of higher food and energy costs, the UN warned in April. A doubling of food and fuel prices in areas already threatened by famine has combined with a slashing of the world’s humanitarian relief system to expand the contours of hunger. After regaining momentum following the Covid-19 pandemic, many developing countries are contending with alarm from the war. Global economic growth is expected to slow to 2.5 percent this year, down from 2.9 percent in 2025, marking the slowest pace of expansion since the pandemic, the World Bank warned this month.

Colombia's president-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella, said on Tuesday (June 23) that the country will join the “Shield of the Americas,” the US initiative against drug cartels, on August 7, when he takes office in place of Gustavo Petro. “Colombia will no longer be governed by a government complacent toward narcoterrorism; we will move to combat it,” he wrote on the social network X. The announcement marks a shift from Petro's foreign policy. The “Shield of the Americas,” created by President Donald Trump, is a regional coalition against organized crime that was joined by right-wing governments such as those of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and El Salvador, but not by left-wing administrations like those of Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, or Mexico. De la Espriella, who received Trump's electoral backing, will come to power with rhetoric aligned with the White House on an iron-fist approach to organized crime and immigration.

The advancement of renewable energies has ceased to impact only the electricity sector and has also gained traction on Brazil’s B3 Stock Exchange. With the promotion of clean energy sources in Brazil, investors have, over the years, had access to alternatives focused exclusively on renewable generation and the energy transition. It is already possible to find stocks, REITs, and ETFs with direct exposure to the renewable energy sector on the B3. One of the companies listed is Auren Energia (AURE3), which stands out for having a 100% renewable energy matrix. Its portfolio includes hydroelectric, wind, and solar power plants distributed across different regions of the country. For those seeking passive income, REITs can be an interesting alternative. One of the main highlights is SNEL11, the first Brazilian real estate fund dedicated exclusively to the renewable energy sector. Another alternative is the RENV11. This is a real estate fund focused on photovoltaic projects.

Argentina's natural gas sales to Brazil could increase during the Southern Hemisphere's spring due to the El Niño weather phenomenon, a representative of the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) told Reuters. An intense El Niño would increase the frequency and intensity of rainfall in Argentina, allowing greater use of hydroelectric plants. In western Brazil, however, the phenomenon would cause drought, requiring more natural gas to generate electricity in thermal power plants. "Brazil is likely to have greater need for natural gas, and Argentina, because of how El Niño affects the Paraná River, may have exportable surpluses," Guido Maiulini, head of strategic advising, told Reuters on June 19. Maiulini did not estimate how much gas sales — currently conducted ad hoc — could increase. Last year, Argentina, for the first time, exported gas from its Vaca Muerta shale formation to Brazil via Bolivian pipelines.
