Lucas and Luna dissect the latest developments at the World Trade Organization, from dispute rulings and tariff disputes to the stalling Doha Round. They map the patchwork of free trade agreements — from the USMCA and RCEP to the AfCFTA — and assess how these deals reshape supply chains, labor standards, and intellectual property protections. Each episode grounds abstract policy in concrete numbers: the volume of trade at stake, the tariff lines that matter, the winners and losers in specific industries. The show is for trade economists, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand how trade tensions affect their operations. Lucas brings the global perspective; Luna stresses the real-world impact on exporters, importers, and workers. Together, they avoid ideology and focus on the data: what does a new EU carbon border adjustment mean for Indian steel? How does a Chinese export ban on rare earths hit electric vehicle production? Listeners leave each episode with a clearer map of the world's commercial arteries — and the choke points that coul…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:21:13.899418+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/global-trade-with-fexingo-wto-free-trade-agreements-and-international-commerce-7871813"},"episode":{"title":"The One Rule That Made Global Natural Gas Trade Possible","slug":"the-one-rule-that-made-global-natural-gas-trade-possible","published_at":"2026-07-11T19:54:20+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/global-trade-with-fexingo-wto-free-trade-agreements-and-international-commerce-7871813/the-one-rule-that-made-global-natural-gas-trade-possible","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/global-trade-with-fexingo-wto-free-trade-agreements-and-international-commerce-7871813","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/global-trade/episode-0105.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/global-trade/episode-0105.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna unpack the single rule that transformed natural gas from a local fuel into a globally traded commodity: the liquefaction standard. They trace how a 1960s engineering breakthrough—the first commercial LNG plant in Algeria—and later the ISO tank container rule enabled gas to cross oceans. Specific numbers: LNG now accounts for over 10% of global gas trade, up from near zero in 1970. They discuss how the 'take-or-pay' contract structure evolved alongside the physical rule, and why today's spot LNG market in Asia is challenging long-term deals. A concrete look at how a technical standard reshaped energy geopolitics. #LNG #NaturalGas #Liquefaction #ISOContainers #EnergyTrade #GlobalCommodities #Algeria #Qatar #Japan #GasGeopolitics #TradeRules #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #EnergyMarkets #CommodityTrade #Infrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna unpack the single rule that transformed natural gas from a local fuel into a globally traded commodity: the liquefaction standard.
