EU energy ministers on Monday backed a plan to phase out Russian oil and gas imports by January 2028, according to the Council of the European Union. The proposal, approved at a meeting in Luxembourg, would ban new Russian gas contracts from January 2026, end short-term ones by June 2026, and terminate long-term deals by 2028. The law still requires negotiations with the European Parliament before becoming final. The move aims to cut Moscow’s energy revenues that help fund its war in Ukraine. Russia now supplies about 12% of the EU’s gas, down from 45% before the 2022 invasion, with Hungary, France, and Belgium still importing. The proposal was crafted to win approval despite resistance from Hungary and Slovakia and required a “qualified majority” vote so that one or two states could not block it. Flexibilities were included for landlocked countries. Separately, the EU is preparing a new sanctions package that could ban Russian LNG imports a year earlier, by January 2027.

EU Moves to End Russian Energy Imports by 2028

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said Monday the government shutdown is “likely to end sometime this week,” though warned that if it doesn’t, the Trump administration may resort to “stronger measures” to pressure Democrats. Speaking on CNBC, Hassett’s remarks come as the shutdown enters its third week, with no resolution in sight amid a partisan standoff over federal funding. Republicans are pushing for a short-term funding bill to maintain current spending levels, while Democrats insist any deal must include expanded health-care provisions—specifically, an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits set to expire at year’s end.

Canada has granted tariff relief on select steel and aluminum imports from the U.S. and China to support domestic industries hit by trade tensions. Prime Minister Mark Carney is in talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, who imposed tariffs on Canadian metals, while also engaging Chinese officials to ease levies on Canadian agricultural exports. In response to economic strain, Carney has reversed many retaliatory tariffs previously placed on U.S. goods. A recent amendment to the 2024 surtax remission order allows duty-free entry of certain Chinese steel and aluminum products not manufactured in Canada. The order took effect October 15, with further details to be released November 5. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance exempted some U.S. metal imports tied to “public health, national security, manufacturing, agriculture and food packaging,” according to an official document.

Canada Cuts Tariffs on U.S., China Metals

The NZX 50 slipped 20 points or 0.2% to 13,325 in early trade on Tuesday, swinging from the previous session’s gains amid weakness in electronic tech and process industries. Sentiment turned cautious after China, New Zealand’s largest trading partner, reported its slowest annual growth in a year for Q3 2025, weighed by ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., a prolonged property downturn, and sluggish consumer demand. On the trade front, New Zealand posted its third consecutive monthly trade deficit in September, marking the largest shortfall in the sequence as imports were higher than exports. Losses were offset by a rally on Wall Street Monday, supported by optimism over the U.S. avoiding a government shutdown, progress in U.S.-China trade talks, and anticipation of major corporate earnings. Mercury NZ Ltd. (-1.6%) led the losses, followed by Winton Land Ltd. (-1.4%), A2 Milk Co. (-1.2%), and Napier Port Holdings (-0.9%).
