US Seeks Comments on China Trade Board

By

The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) launched a public comment period to gather input on establishing a new bilateral governance framework, referred to as the U.S.-China Board of Trade.

The framework is designed to manage trade relations between the two countries on an ongoing basis, according to a Tuesday press release.

The USTR is seeking public feedback on specific categories of non-sensitive products that could benefit from tariff adjustments on both sides, with the goal of achieving a more balanced and reciprocal trade relationship.

The deadline for comment submission is July 10. Responses to those comments are due July 27.

TPG Telecom Well-Positioned to Convert Value-End Subscriber Growth Into Earnings, Jarden Says

TPG Telecom (ASX:TPG) is well-positioned to convert value-end subscriber growth into earnings despite intensifying industry competition for value-end mobile share, Jarden said in a June 2 note.Given the telecommunications company's "positioning as the value brand, smallest back-book and lowest cost operator, we believe it can deliver structurally better earnings conversion on value-end industry growth," the investment firm said.TPG confirmed its fiscal year 2026 guidance while committing to a medium-term framework to deliver operating leverage. Jarden believes the share price response to the trading update, where the stock fell more than 7%, was overdone as there was no change to the forecast.The company's digital subscription expansion and capital expenditure reduction following the completion of a post-transformation investment cycle give it clear levers to improve free cash flow from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2030, the equity research firm said.Jarden maintained an overweight rating on TPG with a target price of AU$4.30.
