AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoBolivia Unrest: A government deal with protesting miners in La Paz didn’t end the chaos. Roadblocks and demonstrations kept choking access to the capital, with police using tear gas as protesters hurled stones and explosives, and miners again demanding fuel, work equipment, and contract changes—while some chants turned to calling for President Rodrigo Paz’s resignation. Mining Pressure: The unrest is tied to a deep economic squeeze: a dollar shortage, falling energy production, and fuel scarcity that have spread from highways to daily life. Regional Spillover: The week’s broader labor and political turbulence across Latin America—from strikes in Brazil to wider market stress—adds to the sense that Bolivia’s crisis is not isolated. Energy & Trade Context: Separately, the lithium market story keeps moving toward “demand wall” dynamics, while global trade shifts continue to reshape commodity flows.
