Up Front— House to end record shutdown tonight. The House plans to pass a continuing resolution funding the government through Jan. 30 after swearing in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The stopgap measure is expected to reach President Trump tonight, ending the longest U.S. shutdown in history.— Trump signals tariff cuts to ease coffee costs. The president told Fox News the U.S. will “lower some tariffs” in response to high coffee prices — a hint at easing duties on Brazilian imports and possibly trimming beef tariffs as well.— Beef becomes political flashpoint. A Wall Street Journal editorial said Trump is “channeling Biden and Warren” by blaming packers for high beef prices, noting herd reductions and tariffs — not corporate greed — are the real drivers.— Brazil redirects exports away from U.S. tariffs. Despite steep U.S. duties, Brazil’s exporters offset losses by boosting sales elsewhere, with gains to China and Mexico more than compensating for declines in U.S. trade.— China’s Cofco inks $10 billion Brazil deals. Cofco signed major agreements to buy nearly 20 million tonnes of soybeans, soybean oil, and palm oil from Brazil, highlighting China’s preference for South American suppliers over costlier U.S. cargoes.— Supreme Court extends SNAP payment hold. Justices kept in place an order allowing the Trump administration to withhold full November food-stamp payments as Congress works to reopen the government, leaving millions in limbo.— Flight cancellations climb amid shutdown. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said cancellations reached 6% at major airports due to controller shortages and warned normal operations won’t resume immediately after reopening.— Bayer sees heavier 2025 costs. The German conglomerate expects €3.5–4 billion in one-off charges from litigation and restructuring, even as Q3 earnings beat forecasts.— China’s soybean glut clouds U.S. sales. Massive stockpiles and weak crush margins are limiting Beijing’s appetite for U.S. soybeans despite pledges under the trade truce.— Brazil’s beef exports soar. November shipments are up nearly 70% from a year ago, keeping Brazil on track for another record year as global demand stays strong.— Oil steady as shutdown nears end. Crude prices eased slightly but held most gains on expectations the U.S. reopening will lift demand; IEA now projects oil use will keep rising to 2050.— Mexico hikes sugar tariffs. Mexico imposed tariffs of up to 210% on imported sugar to counter low global prices and protect domestic producers.— Grijalva to be sworn in before funding vote. Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva will take the oath today, giving Democrats another vote ahead of the shutdown-ending resolution.— Trump defends need for skilled visas. The president said the U.S. “needs outside talent” despite steep new H-1B fees, arguing that not all technical skills can be filled domestically.— Weather outlook. The East cools while the Central and Western U.S. warm; heavy rain and mountain snow are forecast as a strong Pacific cyclone moves ashore. —House set to end longest U.S. government shutdown tonightSpeaker Johnson to swear in new member before final vote; stopgap funds agencies through Jan. 30 The House is poised to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history tonight. Lawmakers are set to convene at noon, with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) planning to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) at 4 p.m. before the chamber votes on the shutdown-ending bill. Final passage will come but not until the evening. Under a plan approved by the Rules Committee after a marathon seven-hour session early Wednesday, the House GOP leadership intends to move quickly: following the rule vote, debate will be limited to one hour, and no amendments will be allowed. Democrats are expected to use a procedural vote to try to extend Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) subsidies, though Republicans will block the move. Party leaders say they don’t anticipate further delays. The vote: Even if a few GOP hardliners — like Reps. Thomas Massie or Victoria Spartz — vote no, Johnson has the margin to pass the bill — Republicans believe a handful of Democrats will vote for this package. Once approved, the measure will go straight to President Donald Trump for his signature, reopening the government after a record-long closure. After passage, lawmakers will adjourn for the weekend and reconvene next week for a packed schedule to make up for seven lost weeks of legislative work. But pressure will remain high: the continuing resolution only funds agencies through Jan. 30, setting up another potential shutdown deadline just two months from now. Some agencies like USDA have their full appropriations approved through September 2026. The Senate is out and will return Nov. 18. —Trump says U.S. will lower Brazilian tariffs to ease coffee pricesPresident indicates tariff relief for coffee imports in Fox News interview President Donald Trump said his administration will “lower some tariffs” in response to rising coffee prices, signaling a possible reduction in import duties on coffee. In a pretaped interview with Fox News, Trump was asked directly about coffee prices and replied, “We’re going to lower some tariffs. We’re going to have some coffee come in.” The comment suggests the White House may be preparing targeted tariff adjustments to mitigate food and beverage inflation that has persisted despite broader supply-chain stabilization. Coffee prices have remained elevated through 2025 amid weather disruptions in major producing nations and tariff-related import costs. This could also signal the U.S. may drop the recent 40% additional tariff put on Brazilian beef. —Beef is now political red meatWSJ: Trump blames packers for rising prices, much as Joe Biden did In a pointed commentary, the Wall Street Journal editorial board argues that President Donald Trump is “doing his best Biden-Warren imitation” by blaming meat packers for rising beef prices rather than addressing the underlying market causes. On Friday, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate meatpacking companies for “illicit collusion, price fixing, and price manipulation,” calling recent price increases “fishy.” According to the WSJ, beef prices have climbed 15% over the past year, but not because of corporate profiteering. Instead, the editorial points to long-running structural factors: the U.S. cattle herd has been shrinking amid drought and higher feed costs, and the USDA suspended Mexican cattle imports earlier this year after detecting screwworm parasites. With fewer cattle available, live cattle prices have surged 24% in a year, squeezing rather than enriching packers’ profit margins. The board notes that tariffs are also worsening the situation. Trump’s administration has maintained a 50% tariff on Brazilian beef and quotas on Argentinian imports — policies that restrict supply and drive domestic prices higher. Ironically, the editorial says, the “real beneficiaries” of the price surge are U.S. ranchers, who are now pressing for continued import restrictions under the guise of national security. When Trump proposed last month to expand Argentinian beef quotas to help ease prices, ranchers pushed back. The WSJ praised that idea and suggested going further by removing all tariffs and quotas. The piece concludes with a warning: “As Joe Biden learned the hard way, attacking business won’t reduce the price of hamburger.” —Brazil offsets U.S. tariff losses by redirecting exports to other marketsExport gains to other destinations more than compensate for drop in U.S. sales after tariff hikes Brazilian exporters have largely absorbed the impact of Washington’s new 50% tariff hikes by redirecting shipments to other markets, according to a Valor Econômico analysis of government trade data. From August to October 2025, exports of 1,503 affected goods to the U.S. totaled $1.58 billion, down sharply from 2024 levels. Yet, sales of those same products to the rest of the world rose by $3.1 billion, more than offsetting U.S. losses. The shift demonstrates Brazil’s agility in rerouting trade flows despite steep tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump in July and earlier Section 232 measures from April. Economist Rafael Cagnin of the Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (IEDI) said the data show “a significant ability to redirect exports,” though certain U.S.-dependent sectors still face pressure. The pattern varied widely across products. Nearly 28% of affected items fully offset U.S. losses through gains elsewhere, while 30% saw no compensation in other markets. Among key examples: • Frozen beef exports to the U.S. plunged 60.5%, but sales to Mexico and China surged, lifting overall beef exports by more than $1.7 billion.•Semi-manufactured iron and steel shipments to the U.S. dropped 16.4%, partially offset by a 27.2% increase to other destinations.•Coffee exports to the U.S. fell 16.7%, but global shipments jumped 14.5%, with low U.S. dependence easing the blow. Of note: Overall, exports of tariff-affected goods to the U.S. totaled $3.76 billion in August–October 2025, compared with $5.3 billion a year earlier. Sales of those products to all other destinations climbed to $18.2 billion, up 20% year over year. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva met with President Trump in Malaysia in late October to discuss easing tariff impacts. Economists say Brazil’s ability to pivot has strengthened its negotiating hand — even as total exports to the U.S. fell nearly 25% in the past quarter. —Cofco signs multi-billion soybean and palm oil deals with BrazilChina’s state grain trader secures nearly 20 million tonnes in purchases amid tariff headwinds on U.S. products Chinese state-owned food giant Cofco announced the signing of agreements totaling more than $10 billion with major trading firms — ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus — to purchase soybeans, soybean oil, and palm oil from Brazil. The contracts, inked during the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, cover nearly 20 million tonnes of commodities and underscore a deepening trade partnership between Beijing and Brasília. The deals come despite Washington’s claims that China committed to buying 12 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans by year-end. Cofco made no mention of U.S. products, reflecting continued caution amid tariffs that remain at 10% for American imports, even after reductions from 23%. Analysts note that Brazilian soybeans remain cheaper than U.S. cargoes, making them more attractive for Chinese buyers. Market observers say the move highlights China’s strategy to diversify supply chains and strengthen South American ties as it balances geopolitical and economic considerations. Cofco’s purchasing power gives it significant influence over global food flows and price dynamics, particularly as Beijing navigates policy uncertainty and sluggish domestic crush margins. —Supreme Court keeps full SNAP payments on hold amid shutdown uncertaintyJustices extend short-term order as Congress weighs deal to reopen government The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a temporary order allowing the Trump administration to continue withholding full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November, signaling a desire to wait for Congress to act on a pending agreement to reopen the government. The move keeps in place an “administrative stay” first issued Friday by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, blocking a lower court’s ruling that would have required the USDA to pay full food stamp benefits to roughly 42 million Americans. The new order extends that stay through Thursday; Jackson dissented. The shutdown’s fallout has left SNAP recipients caught in legal limbo, with about 27 million expected beneficiaries yet to receive their full allotments. Advocacy groups warned the Court that millions — including children — have now gone ten days without needed food aid. At issue is whether the USDA can be compelled to shift about $4 billion between accounts to make full payments, something the Justice Dept. argued would improperly insert the judiciary into Congress’ budget negotiations. While at least 16 states have provided full benefits and five partial ones using contingency funds, the rest remain stalled as litigation continues. If the House passes the continuing resolution, the Supreme Court case will likely be dismissed as moot. Until then, millions of households averaging $350 per month in benefits face continued uncertainty over their November food assistance. —Flight cancellations rise as shutdown strains air-traffic controlDuffy warns flight volumes may remain below normal even after reopening Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Tuesday that flight cancellations at 40 major U.S. airports have climbed to 6%, as more flights are being grounded by government directive to address safety risks tied to air-traffic controller shortages during the ongoing shutdown. Duffy cautioned that even after Congress votes to reopen the government, air travel will not immediately normalize. “I’m concerned that we’re not going to have, on Day One, controllers come back to the towers right away,” he told reporters. “We’re going to watch, analyze, and encourage them to come back. But we’re going to start to alleviate the restrictions only when the data says we should.” Of note: The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said some of their members have taken second jobs and those side hustles may continue until they get their missed paychecks. What’s more, even before the shutdown, the nation’s air traffic control system was short by more than 3,000 workers. Some 20 to 25 controllers per day are opting for retirement or another job, and the shutdown has thwarted hiring efforts. |

—Equities today: Global stocks climbed on Wednesday as optimism grew that the U.S. Congress would this evening end the federal government shutdown, potentially lifting the cloud of uncertainty caused by weeks of missing economic data. The yen drew renewed attention after sliding to a nine-month low against the dollar, prompting officials to issue fresh comments on currency moves. European shares hit a new record in early trading, with the STOXX 600 index gaining ground, while U.S. stock futures pointed to a strong Wall Street open. Japan’s Nikkei and broader Asian equity markets also advanced about 0.4%.

—Bayer warns of heavier one-off costs in 2025 amid restructuring
German conglomerate expects litigation and executive buyout provisions to weigh on profits despite strong Q3 performance
Bayer AG said Wednesday it anticipates higher one-off charges in 2025 tied to litigation provisions and executive buyouts under its ongoing restructuring program. The company now forecasts special items will reduce EBITDA by €3.5 billion to €4 billion ($4.08 billion), exceeding its prior estimate of €2.5 billion–€3.5 billion.
Despite the outlook for heavier burdens, Bayer reported a 20.8% year-on-year rise in third quarter adjusted EBITDA to €1.51 billion ($1.76 billion), surpassing the €1.28 billion consensus forecast. The improvement was driven by gains in the Crop Science division and reconciliation effects in accounting.

—China’s soybean glut clouds U.S. export hopes
Massive stockpiles and weak crush margins limit Beijing’s buying appetite despite trade truce pledges
China is confronting an oversupply of soybeans after months of record imports, curbing the potential for large U.S. purchases even as Washington touts Beijing’s pledge to buy 12 million tons by year-end and 25 million annually through 2028, a Reuters analysis notes. Traders report that state-owned firms such as COFCO have booked only limited cargoes for December and January, while crush margins remain deeply negative.
Soybean stocks at Chinese ports hit a record 10.3 million tons on Nov. 7, up 3.6 million tons from a year earlier, and crushers hold another 7.5 million tons, the highest since 2017. Soymeal prices have dropped more than 20% since April to about 3,000 yuan ($421) per ton, reflecting slack demand in the livestock sector.
With Brazilian beans still cheaper — around $480 per ton including freight to China versus $540–$550 for U.S. cargoes — importers are favoring South American supply. Analysts say state firms may wait for margins to recover before fulfilling any large-scale U.S. commitments.
Beijing’s state reserves are estimated to hold 40–45 million tons of soybeans, roughly double last year’s U.S. import volume and enough to cover about five months of typical demand. As a result, there is little sign of the “big buys” Washington expects.
—Brazil’s beef exports surge in November, nearly 70% above 2024 levels
Record-breaking pace continues as U.S., EU, and Chile increase purchases despite tariffs
Brazil’s beef exports have surged sharply in November, with shipments up nearly 70% compared to the same period in 2024, according to preliminary trade data for the first five business days of the month. Exporters shipped an average of 20,100 tonnes per day, versus 12,000 tonnes a year earlier, totaling 100,530 tonnes so far this month — already 44% of November 2024’s total volume of 228,130 tonnes.
The average export price reached $5.51 per kilo, just below October’s $5.54 but 13% higher year-on-year, signaling continued firm global demand. The report notes that Brazil is on track for another record-breaking year after setting all-time highs in both September and October.
Key destinations and market trends. The European Union led the increase in Brazilian beef imports in October, followed by Chile, while the United States boosted purchases for a second straight month despite maintaining an additional tariff on Brazilian beef. Although U.S. import levels remain below pre-tariff volumes, the rebound underscores strong demand amid constrained global supply.
Outlook: With solid external demand and resilient prices, Brazil’s beef sector anticipates a record finish to 2025. Industry analysts say the performance cements Brazil’s position as the world’s leading beef exporter, with further upside possible if China’s state buyers return to the market in December.

—Oil prices ease slightly as markets eye end to U.S. shutdown
Crude holds most gains as demand outlook brightens; IEA revises long-term forecast upward
Oil prices dipped modestly on Wednesday but retained most of their prior-session gains, buoyed by expectations that the end of the record-long U.S. government shutdown could revive fuel demand. Brent crude futures fell 22 cents, 0.34%, to $64.94 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate slipped 22 cents, 0.36%, to $60.83 a barrel.
The House is expected to vote today on a funding bill already approved by the Senate, potentially restoring government operations through Jan. 30. Analysts said a reopening would lift consumer confidence, spur travel, and boost energy consumption — particularly for jet fuel during the upcoming holiday season.
The International Energy Agency added to the optimism, forecasting in its World Energy Outlook that oil and gas demand could continue growing until 2050 — a reversal from its earlier projection that oil use would peak this decade. The IEA’s updated model, which now assumes only existing policies rather than unfulfilled climate pledges, projects a 13% rise in demand by mid-century from 2024 levels.
On the supply side, U.S. sanctions on Russian producers Lukoil and Rosneft continued to ripple through global markets. Reuters reported that Chinese refiners, including Yanchang Petroleum, are seeking non-Russian crude, while Sinopec’s Luoyang Petrochemical has shut for maintenance as an indirect result of the sanctions. The measures, imposed last month, marked President Trump’s first direct sanctions against Russia in his second term.
—Oil prices rose Tuesday on sanctions fallout and shutdown optimism
Brent climbs to $65.16 as traders weigh U.S. sanctions on Russian energy and signs of a deal to reopen government
Oil prices advanced Tuesday, lifted by fallout from new U.S. sanctions on Russia’s top energy firms and improving sentiment over progress to end the U.S. government shutdown. Brent crude gained $1.10 to settle at $65.16 a barrel, up 1.7%, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose $0.91 to $61.04, up 1.5%.
The sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft have begun to disrupt exports of both crude and refined fuels, bolstering prices despite persistent oversupply concerns. Analysts said fuel markets were showing firmer strength than crude as Russian product flows tighten. Lukoil’s force majeure declaration at Iraq’s West Qurna-2 field underscored the sanctions’ immediate impact, prompting refiners in India to shift purchases toward Middle Eastern suppliers, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Market sentiment also improved after the Senate passed a bipartisan measure to end the record-long shutdown, with the House expected to vote Wednesday. Analysts said prospects for reopening the government supported expectations of stronger short-term demand.
Still, gains were capped by expectations of a growing global surplus, as OPEC+ plans to raise output by 137,000 barrels per day in December before pausing further increases in early 2026. Commerzbank analysts cautioned that “even with sanctions and short-term supply disruptions, the broader balance still looks heavy,” projecting OPEC+ could add another million barrels per day after the pause.

—Mexico imposes 156% tariff on sugar imports
Move aims to protect domestic producers amid falling prices and oversupply concerns
Mexico has sharply raised tariffs on sugar imports to 156% per kilogram in response to declining global prices and fears of oversupply in its domestic market, according to a decree published in the Official Gazette. The measure, signed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, also sets a 210.44% tariff on refined liquid sugar.
Reasons cited. Until now, imported sugar faced duties of $360–$390 per ton, but officials say the new ad valorem tariff — which factors in insurance, freight, and costs — will effectively halt sugar imports. “It practically eliminates the possibility of sugar imports into Mexico,” said Carlos Blackaller, head of the national sugarcane producers’ organization, noting that imports over the past three seasons totaled just over one million tons.
Mexico typically produces around 5 million tons of sugar annually, with roughly 4 million consumed domestically and the remainder exported mainly to the U.S. For the 2025/26 cycle, output is projected to rebound to 5.2 million tons, while the U.S. import quota stands at just 188,000 tons. Blackaller said the higher tariffs would help “provide greater protection for domestic product” and support “a slightly higher price season” for Mexican sugar producers.

—Grijalva to take oath before CR vote
Arizona Democrat to be sworn in today, expected to sign Epstein records petition
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told CNN he will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) today, just before the House votes on the continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through Jan. 30. Grijalva, elected Sept. 23 in a special election, has been unable to take office since the House recessed on Sept. 19. Once sworn in, she is expected to provide the decisive signature on a petition demanding the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Johnson called the vote to release the Epstein files “a moot point” due to the House Oversight Committee’s work reviewing and releasing some 43,000 records so far. the Jeffrey Epstein discharge petition will hit 218 signatures. The full House will have to go on record whether they support or oppose the release of the full Epstein files by the Justice Department. This will be used against vulnerable Republicans in 2026 if they vote no.
Grijalva has waited nearly seven weeks to be seated. Johnson cited the House recess for his refusal to administer the oath of office to Grijalva.

—Trump defends need for foreign skilled workers despite visa fee hikes
President says “you can’t take people off an unemployment line and make missiles” as businesses challenge new $100,000 H-1B fee
President Donald Trump defended the need for skilled foreign labor even as his administration has sharply increased costs for companies to hire them. In a Fox News interview, Trump rejected host Laura Ingraham’s argument that restricting H-1B visas would help boost U.S. wages, saying the country still needs outside talent to fill gaps in advanced manufacturing and technology. “You don’t have certain talents,” Trump said. “You can’t take people off, like an unemployment line, and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory. We’re going to make missiles.’”
The remarks follow a new $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas — used heavily by tech firms — which drew a lawsuit from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The policy underscores tension between Trump’s immigration crackdown and business demands for skilled labor.
Trump’s enforcement push, including troop deployments to assist immigration officers, has strained ties with allies such as South Korea. A raid earlier this year on a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia detained more than 300 South Korean workers, prompting diplomatic friction and reassurances from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that U.S. investment remains welcome. Trump said he plans a “whole new plan” to allow highly skilled workers to help build U.S. manufacturing plants.
