Signs of thaw as the Indian and Chinese foreign ministers meet in New Delhi
NEW DELHI (AP) — The foreign ministers of India and China met in New Delhi on Monday in a renewed effort by the nuclear-armed Asian rivals to ease tensions after a five-year border standoff significantly hurt relations. India's foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, welcomed Wang Yi for talks aimed at stabilizing relations that plunged in 2020 after security forces clashed along the disputed Himalayan border. The violence, the worst in decades, left 20 Indian soldiers and four Chinese soldiers dead, freezing high-level political engagements. Since then, the two sides have deployed tens of thousands of security forces in border areas. Last year, India and China agreed to a pact on border patrols and withdrew additional forces from some border areas. Jaishankar in opening remarks Monday called for deescalation of border tensions to give positive momentum to bilateral ties. 'Having seen a difficult period in our relationship, our two nations now seek to move ahead. This requires a candid and constructive approach from both sides,' Jaishankar said. Wang said there has been peace and tranquility along the borders and China has allowed Indian pilgrims to visit some key places in the Tibet autonomous region. The Chinese foreign minister is scheduled to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday and hold talks with Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval about the disputed border. Reducing the number of troops there is expected to be on the agenda. Wang's India visit coincides with friction between New Delhi and Washington after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods, which includes a penalty of 25% for purchasing Russian crude oil. The tariffs take effect Aug. 27.

Italy's Key Yield Nears France as Traders Rethink European Risk
(Bloomberg) -- The once-yawning gap between Italian and French benchmark borrowing costs shrunk to below 10 basis points, reflecting a shift in how investors rank European government debt. Less than three years ago, Italian 10-year bond yields were nearly 200 basis points more than the equivalent French rate. That difference has since plunged to the narrowest since 2005. Yields on shorter-dated Italian bonds have already fallen below those on French peers. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Strategists at Commerzbank AG last month forecast that the 10-year gap will close completely. If that happens, it would be the first time since the two yields have traded in line since 1998, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The narrowing spread shows the long-standing demarcation between the 'risky' periphery and 'safe' core has become increasingly blurred. For years, Italian bonds offered a juicy pick-up to peers because investors demanded higher compensation for a tumultuous political backdrop and mountain of government debt. But Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has ushered in an era of stability in Rome and efforts to consolidate debt are underway. In contrast, French debt was swept up in a rout last year after President Emmanuel Macron's snap elections threw a spotlight on the country's large fiscal deficit. While the bonds have since partly recovered, yields have settled at a higher level relative to peers than in the past. The move came as European bonds rose on Monday, paring a selloff from last week. Yields on 30-year German bonds fell as much as six basis points to 3.29%, while yields on the two-year tenor fell as much as two basis points to 1.96%. Italy's spread to other European nations, notably Germany, has long been an obsession for Meloni, guiding her decision-making on a wide range of issues, including banking and defense. Her approach has been shaped by the experience of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi in 2011, who was ousted after spreads spiraled during the European sovereign debt crisis. Meloni now guides Italy's fourth-longest government since it became a republic, adding to a sense of stability that previous governments had difficulty projecting. Though growth remains sclerotic and is seen below 1% of output in 2025, investors have placed a big premium on her perceived ability to govern with a sizable and stable majority. --With assistance from Alice Atkins and Donato Paolo Mancini.
