[Lagarde Says ECB Has Achieved Inflation Target, But Uncertainty Remains] European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde stated that the bank has achieved its inflation control target, but that despite the trade agreement with the United States, uncertainty about the economic outlook remains. In an interview with Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DRTV) aired on Saturday, Lagarde stated, "Interest rates must target the inflation level, and that is the target we set, and we have achieved that." She noted that the future trajectory has become more predictable after the EU and US reached an agreement on increased tariffs, but the situation remains less clear than before US President Trump began imposing tariffs. Lagarde stated, "The level of uncertainty has decreased by about 50%, which is a significant improvement compared to the previous situation.

WTO Report: Artificial Intelligence Impacts Global Trade Patterns. The World Trade Organization (WTO) recently released its "World Trade Report 2025," focusing on the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and international trade. It noted the profound impact of AI on global trade patterns and called for multilateral cooperation to ensure that AI fosters inclusive growth rather than exacerbating divisions. Artificial intelligence presents opportunities and potential for trade. The report notes that AI can improve efficiency in various sectors, including consulting and R&D, and is expected to boost global total factor productivity by an additional 0.68 percentage points annually. WTO simulations predict that by 2040, global trade will increase by 34% to 37%, global GDP by 12% to 13%, and trade in digitally deliverable services, including AI services, will grow by 42%. Furthermore, AI can optimize supply chains, including improving transparency, predicting logistics bottlenecks, and optimizing shipping routes. It can also improve customs clearance and compliance efficiency, including automating customs declaration and compliance processes to reduce delays. It can overcome language and information barriers, reducing cross-border communication costs through real-time translation and intelligent customer service. It can also provide insights into market trends and help businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, better enter overseas markets by analyzing international market trends.

[US Senate Confirms Waltz as US Permanent Representative to the United Nations] The US Senate voted on the 19th to confirm former National Security Advisor Michael Waltz as US Permanent Representative to the United Nations. The Republican-controlled Senate approved President Trump's nomination of Waltz by a vote of 47 to 43. The 80th UN General Assembly High-Level Week will begin on the 22nd.

[Foreign exchange market intervention causes Argentina's foreign reserves to shrink by $1 billion; President Milei senses the "panic" triggered by Argentines selling the peso] Argentine President Javier Milei has reportedly lost the trust of investors, and he's well aware of it. Investors are pulling money out of Argentina day after day, fearing that the brash, libertarian president—despite his bold plans to overhaul the economy—will, like so many of his predecessors, abandon the defense of the peso and allow it to plummet. "The market is in panic mode," Milei said, speaking briefly to a local reporter late Friday. That day, Argentine central bank traders poured $678 million into the foreign exchange market, desperate to meet demand for hard currency and prevent the peso from collapsing. This brought the total amount of intervention over three days to $1.1 billion. This scale of intervention is staggering for a country where, according to economists' best estimates, Argentina has less than $20 billion in liquid foreign exchange reserves. For Milei, the security of his presidency hinges on curbing the hyperinflation that has plagued Argentines, and a stable peso exchange rate is crucial. If the peso collapses, consumer prices will soar again, and Milley's hopes of maintaining the popular support he needs for his reform agenda will be largely dashed. On Friday, he vowed to defend the peso at all costs, echoing the words of his chief economic aide the day before: "We will take all necessary measures to preserve the quality of life of the Argentine people."

[Meloni government's deficit reduction is recognized, Fitch raises Italy's rating for the first time since 2021] Italy has been upgraded by Fitch for the first time since 2021.

In a statement on Friday, the company raised the rating of the euro area's third-largest economy by one level to BBB+, three levels above junk level. The company also added that the current rating is stable. "The rating upgrade reflects increased confidence in Italy's fiscal trajectory, thanks to Italy's continued improvement in fiscal prudence and its firm commitment to achieving short-term and medium-term fiscal goals under the new EU fiscal framework," Fitch said in a report on Friday. "The stable political environment, continued reform momentum and the easing of external imbalances have further improved Italy's credit indicators."

Trump Signs Executive Order Imposing a New $100,000 Fee on H-1B Visas: On September 19th, US President Trump signed an executive order significantly reforming the H-1B visa program, requiring applicants to pay an annual fee of $100,000 or be denied entry. The new regulations will increase the fee companies pay for H-1B applicants to $100,000 annually, ensuring that imported foreign workers are "truly highly skilled and irreplaceable." The White House emphasized that the new regulations will encourage companies to prioritize the training of domestic talent. The H-1B visa allows US companies to hire foreign professionals to fill specialized positions that are difficult to fill domestically, and is primarily used by US tech companies to recruit highly educated and skilled immigrants. The H-1B visa has long been controversial in the United States. Supporters believe it is crucial to attracting the world's best talent, maintaining the vitality of the US economy, and ensuring that US technological innovation remains a global leader, especially in the era of artificial intelligence, which is even more crucial to US defense and national security. Opponents criticize US tech companies for their long-term abuse of the H-1B visa, importing cheap foreign labor and hindering the employment and advancement of US talent, including minorities.
