Domingo Brief — When the Strait Closes

Welcome back to the Domingo Brief! What happens when a fifth of the world's oil vanishes overnight? India sends tankers to Patagonia, one country has its most lucrative oil month in years, and another's truckers are ready to paralyze it. Meanwhile, Cuba plunges into darkness again and two South American neighbors trade bombing accusations. Plus: the world's largest plant of its kind is heading to Sinaloa, a steelmaker bets $50M on one of Rio's poorest neighborhoods, and an obscure metal is making one country very popular in Washington.

Each Sunday issue of the Domingo Brief curates the most important stories shaping Latin America — economics, politics, business, and markets — with original Latinometrics data analysis on every story, plus venture-capital and startup funding updates, a trivia question, and curated reading picks sourced from the best local and international outlets.
