The European Commission is drafting a "solidarity tool" to help firms shift supplies of critical goods and cushion the impact of trade conflicts, sources say. The measure will require funding and is being considered in talks on the EU's next multiannual financial framework; the required funding is unclear but could be substantial given the scale of affected industries and trade. Some member states are pushing for spending cuts. National envoys were briefed on the proposal this week.

Shenghong Co. will raise prices across its electric power-quality, charging/swapping, energy-storage microgrid, battery formation and test, and residential storage product lines by 10%-30% effective July 21, 2026; the increase will not be applied retroactively to orders already in transit. The company says the move is a forced pass-through after core raw-material costs and lead times rose sharply: gold, silver, copper and tin up 30%-200%; PCBs, memory chips, magnetic components, SMD resistors/capacitors, IGBT chips, isolation driver chips, and breakers/relays up 50%-800% and still rising. Manufacturing costs have climbed markedly since early 2026; Shenghong says supply-chain optimization and lean measures have been insufficient and the existing price structure no longer covers cost increases.
