The New York Times reports a multibillion-dollar US–Kazakhstan agreement opened access to one of the world’s largest undeveloped tungsten deposits for a group of US investors close to President Trump and Commerce Secretary Lutnick. In September Lutnick met Kazakhstan’s president in New York; Trump joined by phone and, the paper says, helped persuade Kazakhstan to allow a little-known US company to develop the deposit. Weeks later investors in Dominari Securities — based in Trump Tower and partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — acquired a 20% stake in an entity tied to the Kazakh project.

LBBW senior fixed-income analyst Elmar Voelker expects euro-area Q3 gross government bond issuance to fall about 20% QoQ to €323bn. He says net issuance (gross minus redemptions) is likely to rise about 5% to just under €110bn. The projection assumes debt management offices will follow the usual seasonal pattern of slower bond supply in summer months. Over the past four years, gross issuance has declined 18–23% from Q2 to Q3. Euro-area annual bond financing completion rate has reached 60%.
