AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoSolar Eclipse Watch: Iceland and parts of Greenland and Spain saw a rare total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, with Iceland’s totality visible from the Reykjavík area only briefly as clouds blocked some central views, while Spain celebrated its first total eclipse in more than a century. Energy & Markets: A new analysis comparing locations across the North Atlantic found that peak eclipse obscuration didn’t predict daily solar power losses the same way everywhere, with cloud cover and local timing driving big differences. Culture & Music: Björk marked the eclipse with a timed DJ set at Echolalia in Hafnarfjörður, with the festival staged in the path of totality and Arca performing as darkness fell. EU Politics: With an EU referendum restart looming, commentators argue the debate needs more focus on security implications, not just timing and domestic politics. Economy: Íslandsbanki expects Iceland’s Central Bank to lift its key policy rate again next week, potentially pushing the seven-day term-deposit rate to 8% as inflation stays stubborn. Crime Update: Police say two suspects linked to the Kópavogur homicide have been arrested abroad, with 11 arrests in Iceland so far. Sports: FC Nordsjælland thrashed Valur 5-0 in the Conference League qualifiers, while Hearts face fitness checks after their Benfica tie.
