Venezuelan opposition gets US court boost in dispute over Citgo-backed bonds
A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday set aside a judge's ruling that bondholders had valid claims against Venezuela's state-run oil company related to its U.S. refiner Citgo, and directed the judge to apply Venezuela law in assessing the claims. The decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan could provide a boost to opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who have since 2019 controlled some of the Petroleos de Venezuela's (PDVSA) overseas assets.

German car industry urges EU to drop tariffs on China-made cars
BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's VDA auto association has urged the European Commission to drop its planned tariffs on China-made electric vehicles in a last-ditch effort to influence negotiations ahead of the tariffs which take effect on Thursday. The association said in a statement on Wednesday the tariffs would hurt European and U.S. carmakers exporting from China and risked retaliation by China with counter-tariffs, which would hit the German industry hard given its high volume of exports to China.

China's Xi greets EU Council president ahead of EV tariffs taking effect
China's President Xi Jinping made a congratulatory call on Thursday to incoming European Council President Antonio Costa, Chinese state media said, a few hours before European Commission curbs on Chinese electric cars are scheduled to take effect. The Commission is set to confirm provisional import tariffs of up to 37.6% on Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles (EVs), after the bloc accused the world's No.2 economy of providing its firms with heavy state subsidies. Xi said he "attaches great importance to the development of China-EU relations" as Europe braces for retaliatory measures from Beijing and the possible opening up of a new front in the West's tariff war with the $18.6 trillion economy.

China EV makers brace for tariffs as Beijing, EU engage in talks
With the clock ticking for the European Commission to impose provisional tariffs on electric vehicles made in China, automakers are bracing for billions of dollars in new costs that analysts expect will slow their European expansion. "The Chinese EV brands' march into Europe will continue on," said Lei Xing, founder of consultancy AutoXing. China and the European Commission have been in negotiations since last week over the curbs that Beijing and some European automakers want scrapped.

Exxon-Hess arbitration panel nears formation, sources say
The final member has been chosen for a three-person arbitration panel meant to settle Exxon Mobil's claim against Chevron's $53 billion purchase of Hess Corp, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The panel's formation would be a milestone in a long-delayed process that has cast uncertainty over the mega-merger, which both Chevron and Hess had hoped would close in the first half of 2024. Exxon filed the arbitration claim with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in March, arguing that it has a right of first refusal over Hess's assets in Guyana.
