Argentine power generator YPF Luz has filed a preliminary prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a potential initial public offering of shares, which would list simultaneously on the New York Stock Exchange and on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) in Buenos Aires. According to the prospectus, the shares would list in New York as American Depositary Shares under the symbol “YLUZ,” with each unit representing ten Class B ordinary shares. The offering corresponds to the stake held by BNR Power Investments, a company owned in equal parts by US firm GE Vernova and China's state investment fund Silk Road Fund, which holds 24.99% of the capital and is divesting its holding. Once the operation is completed, the oil company YPF — currently the holder of 75.01% — would remain as the sole controlling shareholder

Having choked off shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is now signaling it could play its most dangerous card yet: using Yemen's Houthi allies to shut the Bab el-Mandeb gateway to the Red Sea, opening a new front against Washington and putting two of the world's most vital energy arteries at risk. As Houthi attacks ‌escalate, it appears that Iran is using Yemen's Houthi allies to open a second pressure point at Bab el-Mandeb, the narrow waterway linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden through which Saudi oil exports and a substantial share of global shipping pass. A senior Yemeni official warned on Monday that the country's armed forces were prepared to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait - a move he said could send oil prices soaring to US$ 200 a barrel - if Saudi Arabia continued to attack Yemen, according to a report on Iran's Press TV website.

Canadia Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand has announced US$ 125 million in financing for sustainable infrastructure in Brazil, a country she describes as one of Canada's closest partners on the global stage. Anand was in Sao Paulo on Tuesday (July 14) for meetings with government and business officials -- part of Ottawa's efforts to deepen ties with the largest country in South America as talks continue on a trade agreement with the regional Mercosur bloc. Anand said Brazil is among the countries closest to Canada because of shared work on human rights and climate change. The Canadian government has pledged loan financing through the FinDev Canada agency for two energy-related projects in Brazil. Canada is lending roughly US$ 82.3 million to help build an industrial plant on Brazil's Atlantic coast that would use fats and oils to help produce more sustainable jet fuel and diesel.

The Brazilian government's payment system is drawing attention as a major agenda item in tariff negotiations with the U.S. government that has taken issue with unfair trade because it provides a payment system through low fees in Brazil. According to the Financial Times, the Brazilian payment system "Pix" reported that the US government is one of the main grounds for imposing 25% tariffs on Brazilian imports. Pix is a government-led payment service used across the country that helps users pay without a debit or credit card. You can easily use it through your mobile phone with only bank or financial institution accounts and Internet services. The advantage is the low fee. According to a study published in 2022 by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Pix transaction fees averaged 0.22%, much lower than the average credit card.
