China Urges US to Comply With ‘Hard-Won' Deal After London Talks
(Bloomberg) — China cheered a new framework to defuse trade tensions with the US after two days of intense negotiation, calling on both countries to adhere to the agreement and maintain dialogue to stabilize ties. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico California Pitches Emergency Loans for LA, Local Transit Systems 'As a next step, the two sides should follow the important consensus and requirements reached by the two heads of state on the phone call, further play a good role in the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism,' Vice Premier He Lifeng said, according to a Wednesday statement published by state broadcaster China Central Television. The two sides should 'show the spirit of good faith in abiding by their commitments and jointly safeguard the hard-won results of the dialogue,' he added. The statement offered no details on the specifics of the framework. The agreement comes after two days of high-stakes trade talks in London that concluded Tuesday night. Both sides said they'd agreed on a framework for implementing the Geneva deal that would revive the flow of sensitive goods between the countries. Despite reaching a truce that suspended drastic tariffs last month, the world's two largest economies later accused each other of violating that accord. US officials said China was stalling exports of rare earth magnets crucial for auto and defense sectors, while Beijing protested Washington's move to impose new curbs on chip design software, jet engine parts and student visas. The latest statement represents a step toward de-escalating a tariff war that had led to a slump in bilateral trade. However, it made no reference to rare earth magnets or US export controls, which had both been a focal point of the talks and main source of tension going into negotiations. The US and Chinese delegations will take that proposal back to their respective leaders, China's trade envoy Li Chenggang told reporters after the talks concluded.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures slip as key inflation print looms and US-China plan falls flat
US stock futures nudged lower on Wednesday as investors assessed a US-China plan to salvage their trade truce, with the latest reading on US consumer inflation on deck. Futures on the S&P 500 (ES=F) and on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) fell roughly 0.2%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) moved down 0.1%. Markets are giving a muted response to a US-China framework agreement to get the Geneva tariff truce back on track. Investors are still in the dark about the details of the deal, though it is expected to ease China's grip on rare earths. Plus, the agreement has yet to get sign-off from Presidents Trump and Xi. After two days of marathon talks in London, no other meetings are scheduled between the two sides — a potential concern for markets craving certainty around tariffs. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) have risen to within striking distance of record closing highs amid optimism for potential trade deals. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Investors are now looking to the consumer price index for May due later for any sign that tariffs are pushing up inflation. The report, set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET., reflects the time after Trump's "Liberation Day" hikes shook markets and businesses. It's expected to show the headline rate ticked higher to 2.4% month-on-month, while the "core" reading — which strips out food and energy prices — accelerated slightly year-on-year to 2.9%. With the Federal Reserve's policy meeting coming next week, investors will be wary of any signs that costs associated with tariffs are being passed onto the consumer.

The opening ceremony of the Fifth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo in Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. (Xinhua/Wang Peng) The four-day event has attracted over 1,100 domestic and international guests, featuring 14 activities such as a winery and wine exhibition, an innovation competition, and an art biennial. Making its China debut in 2018 in Beijing, the CMB has this year brought together nearly 400 international judges and over 7,000 wine samples, including a record number of entries from China, according to CMB Chairman Baudouin Havaux. 'This event opens a new era for the global visibility of the Chinese wine industry,' Havaux said. He added that it is no coincidence the 32nd edition of the CMB is being held in Yinchuan, as it clearly reflects the growing strength of Chinese wine, especially that of Ningxia.

After four decades of development, Ningxia has become China's largest wine-producing region. The eastern foot of Helan Mountain is widely regarded as a 'golden zone' for grape growing and high-end wine production. By the end of 2024, Ningxia had more than 600,000 mu (around 40,000 hectares) of wine grape plantations and an annual wine output of 140 million bottles. Its wines are exported to over 40 countries and regions.
