Shipping halted in the Strait of Hormuz after a Singapore-flagged cargo ship came under attack. Earlier Iran warned ships only to use routes it had approved. The incident prompted the UN’s International Maritime Organization to pause its plans to evacuate sailors stranded in the strait. Oil prices jumped in response after tumbling earlier in the week, touching pre-war levels on Thursday (June 25), as crude shipments through the Strait reached their highest volumes since the war began. Traders seem convinced that the interim U.S.-Iran peace deal will lead to a sustainable agreement and the normalization of energy flows. What comes next depends in part on America-Iran talks. If a lasting deal ends America’s long conflict with Iran, the shock to the Gulf may soon fade. If fighting resumes, the next round may be more destructive. Few officials in the region expect the war to restart. But nor do they expect a durable peace.

Several countries announced the dispatch of rescue teams, while acting President Delcy Rodríguez thanked them for the shows of support. Among Latin American neighbors, Brazil's President Luiz Lula da Silva expressed his “concern and dismay” and instructed his Foreign Ministry and the embassy in Caracas to assess assistance measures. Ecuador's leader, Daniel Noboa, ordered the immediate dispatch of humanitarian aid. Uruguay's President Yamandú Orsi made himself available to the Venezuelan government and activated his consular section to assist resident Uruguayans, while Panama's José Raúl Mulino offered humanitarian aid to the “brotherly” country.

Brazil plans to raise up to 5 billion yuan (US$ 735 million) with its first-ever issuance of panda bonds, Finance Minister Dario Durigan told Reuters on Thursday (June 25), marking the largest debut ‌of yuan-denominated debt by a foreign nation in China. Brazil will become the 5th sovereign issuer in ‌12 months to tap into China's domestic debt market, with the move seen as a "test" to help private Brazilian firms deepen their presence in the world's second-largest economy, Durigan said. Panda bonds are a key part of Beijing's effort to internationalize the yuan, which still faces tight capital and regulatory controls. Diplomatically, they also signal emerging markets' openness to alternatives to the dollar-dominated global financial system. "We need to test and to start doing the trajectory of sovereign debt of Brazil in China," ‌Durigan said. He said he hoped the bonds would be issued within the next 2-3 months.

General Motors announced on Wednesday (June 24) an additional investment of R$ 3.5 billion (US$ 678 million) in its Brazilian operations, raising its total investment plan for the 2024–2028 period to R$ 10.5 billion (US$ 2.03 B). The increase represents a 50% expansion over the automaker’s original R$ 7 billion (US$ 1.36 B) commitment announced 2 years ago. It comes just one day after the Brazilian government decided to renew import quotas for CKD (completely knocked down) and SKD (semi-knocked down) vehicle kits—a measure strongly supported by Chinese automaker BYD but criticized by traditional manufacturers operating in Brazil, including GM. GM South America VP Fabio Rua criticized the government’s decision and said GM is fully aligned with the position of Brazil’s Motor Vehicle Manufacturers National Association (Anfavea), which had advocated ending the quotas.
