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 Mexican Exports Are Booming Despite the Strong Dollar","slug":"how-mexican-exports-are-booming-despite-the-strong-dollar","published_at":"2026-06-12T05:39:27+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trade-and-tariffs-with-fexingo-international-commerce-trade-wars-and-global-supply-chains-7871709/how-mexican-exports-are-booming-despite-the-strong-dollar","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-0046.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/trade-and-tariffs/episode-0046.mp3","summary":"Episode 46 of Trade and Tariffs with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine why Mexico's export machine is thriving in June 2026, even as the strong dollar crushes many emerging-market peers. They break down the competitive edge Mexico gains from its proximity to the U.S., its deep integration in North American supply chains, and the 'nearshoring' wave that accelerated under the USMCA. With the trade-weighted dollar index at 120.1 and emerging-market ETFs like EEM up 4.5% in a week, they ask whether Mexico's model is durable—or vulnerable to the same currency pressures hitting South Korea and Southeast Asia. Specific data points include the U.S. trade deficit narrowing slightly to $55.9 billion in April, and the yen hitting 160.3 per dollar.
