Last update: 6 hours agoWorld Cup build-up in the US: Inglewood is putting $250,000 into a family-friendly “Wood Cup” fan zone on Market Street ahead of the USA–Paraguay opener at SoFi Stadium, with free food, entertainment and kids’ activities—an attempt to offer a cheaper alternative to pricey match tickets. Ticket pressure and scams: Demand looks softer than early hype, and prices are sliding in some markets, but that’s also where scammers move in—so buyers are being warned to watch for urgency traps and resale fraud. Paraguay trade angle: Paraguay is being floated as a potential free-trade partner by the Philippines, with interest in selling meat products (beef, pork, chicken) into the Philippine market. Regional business context: Separately, Argentina opened economic bids for the Paraná–Paraguay waterway concession despite prosecutors warning of “serious and obvious irregularities,” keeping logistics and cross-border trade in the spotlight. AI investment spillover: HIVE shares jumped after it said it bought $58m of Toronto land for a large AI data-centre push, underscoring how compute projects are reshaping regional investment flows.
