Each episode opens with a specific data point: a new WTO ruling, a sudden tariff hike on semiconductors, a shipping-cost spike out of the Red Sea. Lucas, a former trade journalist, walks Luna through the legal and economic logic behind the headline; Luna, a supply-chain analyst, pushes back with on-the-ground logistics data from Port of Shanghai container indices and factory PMIs. Together they trace how a 25% steel tariff in Washington reshapes auto-assembly plants in Mexico, how export controls on Dutch lithography machines stall China's chip ambitions, and how the USMCA's rules of origin are quietly redrawing North American investment flows. The show avoids both jingoistic cheerleading and academic detachment — it's for the procurement director who needs to know whether to hedge yuan exposure, the policy wonk tracking Section 301 exclusions, and the investor recalibrating country-risk models. Every episode ends not with a verdict but with a tension: if the EU slaps digital-services taxes on US tech giants, does t…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:20:17.875958+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709"},"episode":{"title":"How Apple Is Squeezed by the Memory Chip Crisis in Mid-2026","slug":"how-apple-is-squeezed-by-the-memory-chip-crisis-in-mid-2026","published_at":"2026-06-19T17:56:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/how-apple-is-squeezed-by-the-memory-chip-crisis-in-mid-2026","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0062.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0062.mp3","summary":"A severe memory chip shortage is rippling through global supply chains, and even Apple isn't immune. Lucas and Luna break down why the crisis has gotten so extreme, how it's reshaping trade flows for semiconductors, and what it means for consumer electronics prices. They anchor the discussion to the latest trade balance data and the weakening dollar, connecting chip shortages to broader economic trends. Along the way, they explore how other industries are adapting and whether this crisis could accelerate reshoring of chip manufacturing. #Apple #MemoryChipCrisis #SemiconductorShortage #SupplyChainDisruption #ConsumerElectronics #ChipManufacturing #TradeFlows #DollarWeakening #USExports #GlobalSupplyChains #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeAndTariffs #TechIndustry #Reshoring #MemoryChips #CNBCHeadlines Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"A severe memory chip shortage is rippling through global supply chains, and even Apple isn't immune.
