AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Gold-Silver Shock: India has hiked import duties on gold and silver to 15% (from 6%), adding a 10% basic duty plus a 5% cess, as the government tries to curb imports, protect the rupee, and ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves. Digital Health Push: India’s health ministry rolled out JANANI and Swasth Bharat to cut fragmented reporting and improve continuity of care, adding QR mother-and-child cards, automated high-risk alerts, and unified dashboards. US-China Spotlight: Trump’s long-awaited China trip is underway with a major CEO delegation, while the US also moves to tighten sanctions tied to Iran-linked oil shipments to China. Japan Security & UAP: Japan confirmed it is reviewing declassified Pentagon UAP footage near Japanese airspace, as Japan’s military posture continues to trigger regional alarm. Indo-Pacific Deterrence: At LANPAC, US-led discussions stressed deterrence depends on industrial endurance and sustainment, not just combat power. Japan Rates Watch: The OECD expects Japan’s policy rate could reach 2% by end-2027, backing a hawkish shift. Local Politics: Haryana municipal vote counts are in motion, including Sonipat and Panchkula.
