U.S. Vice President Vance said technical talks will continue and he will return to the United States shortly.

Berenberg analyst Holger Schmieding expects the ECB deposit rate to reach 3% by mid-2029 (current 2.25%), revising a prior 2028 call. He says a temporary US–Iran agreement lowering energy costs could push eurozone inflation below 2% in early 2027, which could delay ECB tightening until end-2028; thereafter demographic-driven labour‑supply declines should lift wages and force the central bank back to hiking.

The National Energy Administration, in a Q&A on implementation of the renewable energy consumption minimum share and renewable electricity responsibility-weighting rules, said compute facilities, 5G base stations and charging infrastructure have seen explosive growth and will be an important component of future power demand. NEA expects compute-related electricity use to rise by more than 100 billion kWh per year during the 15th Five-Year Plan. Including these sectors in renewable consumption assessments should speed clean-power coverage of incremental demand and support nationwide green, low-carbon development. NEA also identified polysilicon and lithium-ion battery manufacturing as key links in the green energy industrial chain; bringing them under assessment is intended to enforce integrated green-production requirements for clean-energy-equipment makers and to foster coordinated upstream-downstream decarbonisation across supply chains.
