Every weekday, Lucas and Luna sit down in a business lounge to parse the day's most consequential developments in global trade, cross-border dealmaking, and multinational corporate strategy. This is not a news headline recap. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional memory—tariff schedules, currency hedging costs, bilateral investment treaty case law—while Luna presses on the messy human realities: how a logistics manager in Rotterdam adapts to new customs protocols, why a German Mittelstand company chooses Vietnam over Mexico, what happens to a supply chain when a single port in the South China Sea freezes. They walk through real cases: a recent foreign-acquisition approval blocked by CFIUS, a shift in EU carbon-border adjustment enforcement, a Japanese trading conglomerate's pivot into African lithium. The show is built for executives, trade lawyers, procurement heads, and sovereign-wealth analysts who need more than a headline—they need the strategic nuance behind the cross-border friction. Lucas and Luna don't pretend to have a crystal ball. They ask: What does a 2.3% effective tariff differential mean for a mid-cap manufacturer's sourcing decision this quarter? How do transfer-pricing rules in one jurisdiction alter the tax efficiency of a regional holding structure? And when a multinational's CEO announces a 'local-for-local' strategy, is that a genuine operational shift or a PR hedge? Each episode leaves the listener with a sharper lens to evaluate their own international exposure and one specific question to watch for in the coming week.#GlobalTrade #CrossBorderDeals #MultinationalOperations #Tariffs #SupplyChainRisk #CFIUS #FDI #TradeCompliance #CurrencyHedging #TransferPricing #EUCarbonBorder #Sanctions #WTO #BilateralInvestment #Logistics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InternationalBusinessKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
