China Offers EU Strategic Trade Deal: Rare Earth Metals in Exchange for EV Market Access
Ahmed Emam Behind closed doors in the heart of Paris, high-stakes negotiations unfolded this week that could reshape the future of East-West trade. China, which controls over 90% of the global production of rare earth elements, has presented a strategic proposal to the European Union: open up the European market to Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for stable access to critical raw materials. The offer, dubbed a potential 'green channel' for Chinese EVs, comes amid intensifying trade tensions between Beijing and Brussels, particularly over issues of pricing and subsidies in the clean energy sector. China's Ministry of Commerce confirmed in a statement that discussions over pricing commitments in the EV sector have reached a 'critical stage,' though further effort is needed from both sides to reach a final deal. The negotiations took place during a meeting between Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and European Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis. While the focus was primarily on electric vehicles, trade friction has expanded to include other sectors — especially French products, which have faced new Chinese restrictions in retaliation for EU anti-dumping investigations. Despite the strain, sources familiar with the talks revealed that a preliminary agreement has been reached regarding these disputed French goods, pending final approval ahead of a scheduled EU-China summit in July. The timing of these discussions is particularly significant, as they come on the eve of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic and economic relations between China and the European Union. The upcoming summit is widely viewed as a pivotal moment: a chance to either reset the tone of economic cooperation or open a new chapter of competition and mistrust. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Industrial Demand Drives Silver Prices to 13-Year High
Waleed Farouk Silver prices witnessed a significant rise last week, with local markets recording a 1.6% increase, while the global ounce price surged by 8.8%, This rise was mainly driven by increased industrial demand for the white metal amid influential economic and geopolitical shifts. The price of 800-fineness silver gram opened the week at EGP 46.50 and closed at EGP 47.25, marking an increase of EGP 0.75. Globally, the ounce price rose from $32.96 to $35.85, touching a peak of $36 — its highest level since February 2012. the price of 999-fineness silver gram reached EGP 59, 925-fineness silver gram stood at EGP 54.50, and the 925-fineness silver pound was valued at EGP 436. The surge in silver prices was fueled by rising demand as an industrial metal, particularly in the solar energy and electronics sectors, amid declining safe-haven demand towards the end of the week. Silver also benefited from escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, alongside a weakening U.S. dollar, which boosted appetite for precious metals. However, a positive shift in relations between the two countries, following a constructive call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, led to the resumption of trade talks. This reduced silver's safe-haven appeal but reinforced its role as an important industrial metal. Additionally, strong GDP and retail sales data from the Eurozone for Q1 bolstered investor confidence in the European economy. Meanwhile, better-than-expected employment figures from the U.S. and Canada contributed to optimism regarding North American economic growth prospects. Geopolitical tensions in regions such as the Middle East and Ukraine continue to exert additional pressure on the market, further increasing demand for silver and precious metals in general. Analysts believe silver retains significant upside potential in the near future, expecting it to continue benefiting from global financial market volatility and currency movements. Investors are also closely monitoring upcoming U.S. inflation data, anticipated this week, which is expected to play a decisive role in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies and consequently impact silver price movements in global markets. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
