2. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on recent media reports that the European side is worried about the escalation of China-EU trade frictions or triggering a "trade war"
China has taken note of relevant reports. The European side continues to escalate trade frictions and may trigger a "trade war", and the responsibility lies entirely with the European side, at least the European side has "three nos". I want to stress that China does not want to see the current trade friction between China and the EU. The EU's approach is typical of protectionism, and China's determination to safeguard its legal and legitimate interests is unwavering. China hopes that the EU side will match its words with deeds and act in the same direction, implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two sides, accommodate the legitimate concerns of both sides, properly handle differences through dialogue and consultation in accordance with WTO rules, return to the right way of getting along with China and the EU, avoid the escalation of trade frictions from getting out of control, and jointly promote the steady and long-term development of China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

5. Wells Fargo: The Riksbank is expected to pause its easing cycle this week
Wells Fargo expects the Riksbank to leave interest rates unchanged at 3.75% this week, marking a pause in the easing cycle of 25 basis points of rate cuts that began in early May. Market participants will keep a close eye on the Riksbank's latest economic forecasts for any potential insights on the future direction of the policy rate; It will also be watching the bank's forward guidance, where policymakers noted in their previous May statement that they expect two more rate cuts in the second half of the year as long as the inflation outlook remains favourable. However, Wells Fargo expects Sweden's policy rate to be cut three more times in 2024, each by 25 basis points. The bank expects a pause in rate cuts in June and a 25 basis point cut in the third quarter – but the Riksbank could cut rates two more times in the fourth quarter as inflation moves closer to target later this year.
