What we know so far about the EU-US trade deal
Many European businesses will breathe a sigh of relief after the leaders agreed the 27-country bloc will face a baseline levy of 15 percent instead of a threatened 30 percent -- but the deal will not satisfy everyone.
Here is what we know so far:
What did the EU-US agree?
Both sides confirmed there will be a 15-percent across-the-board rate on a majority of EU goods -- the same level secured by Japan this month -- with bilateral tariff exemptions on some products.
The deal will bring relief for the bloc's auto sector, employing around 13 million people -- and hit by Trump with 25-percent tariffs, on top of a pre-existing 2.5 percent.
"Obviously, it is good news for the car industry. So Germany will be happy. And all the EU members with auto supply chains, they go from 27.5 to 15 percent," said Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute For International Economics.
A 15-percent levy will remain "costly" for German automakers, "but it is manageable", said trade geopolitics expert Elvire Fabry at the Jacques Delors Institute.
While 15 percent is much higher than pre-existing US tariffs on European goods -- averaging 4.8 percent -- it mirrors the status quo, with companies currently facing an additional flat rate of 10 percent imposed by Trump since April.

The EU also committed to buy $750 billion of liquefied natural gas, oil and nuclear fuels from the United States -- split equally over three years -- to replace Russian energy sources.
And it will pour $600 billion more in additional investments in the United States.
Trump said EU countries -- which recently pledged to ramp up their defence spending within NATO -- would be purchasing "hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of military equipment".
Are there exemptions?
Von der Leyen said the 15-percent rate applied across most sectors, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals -- a critical export for Ireland, which the bloc has sought to protect.
Trump in April launched probes that could lead to significantly steeper tariffs on the two key sectors, warning this month he could slap 200-percent levies on drugs.
Brussels and Washington agreed a bilateral tariff exemption for key goods including aircraft, certain chemicals, semiconductor equipment, certain agricultural products and critical raw materials, von der Leyen said.
The EU currently faces 50-percent tariffs on its steel exports to the United States, but von der Leyen said a compromise on the metal had been reached with Trump.

"Between us, tariffs will be cut and a quota system will be put in place," she said.
It is understood that European steel would be hit with 50-percent levies only after a certain amount of the metal arrived in the United States, but no details were initially provided on the mechanism.
What happens next?
The deal needs to be approved by EU member states, whose ambassadors will meet first thing Monday morning for a debrief from the European Commission.
And there are still technical talks to come, since the agreement needs to be fully fleshed out.
Von der Leyen described the deal as a "framework" agreement. "Details have to be sorted out, and that will happen over the next weeks," she said.
In particular, she said there has yet to be a final decision on alcohol, critical since France and The Netherlands have been pushing for carve-outs for wine and beer respectively.
"This is something which has to be sorted out in the next days," von der Leyen said.

Could Copper Tariff Hurt US More Than Chile?
Chile, the world's biggest copper producer, is hoping for a last-minute deal to stop the United States from imposing a 50-percent import tariff on the red metal. If not, the South American country should be able to easily find other buyers for a metal deemed critical for the artificial intelligence and green energy revolutions, analysts say. Chile is the largest provider of copper to the United States, whose President Donald Trump announced a punishing levy on the metal starting Friday. Government sources in Santiago told AFP delegations have been talking behind closed doors since Monday, seeking a Trump-pleasing deal that will in effect replace a free trade agreement in place since 2004. The United States imports about 45 percent of the copper it needs for industrial use, according to the US Geological Survey, a government agency. Of that, it gets 51 percent from Chile. According to Trump himself, it is "the second most used material by the Department of Defense" -- used in semiconductors, planes, ships, ammunition, data centers and missile defense systems. Trump "wants to revitalize a domestic industry that has faded and has been overtaken by China and has become reliant on foreign imports," Andy Cole, an analyst with the London-based Fastmarkets price-tracking agency, told AFP. Raising the tariff on imported copper will increase US production costs, which may boost demand for domestically sourced copper. But the United States does not have the capacity to increase its production overnight, and "in the long run the losers will be US consumers if they have the pay more for copper," said Cole. Juan Carlos Guajardo, director of Chilean consulting firm Plusmining, said the United States would need to produce between 600,000 and 800,000 tons of copper per year for its domestic industry, and would not be able to reach that level for "at least 10 years." Chile is responsible for nearly a quarter of global copper supply, which contributes 10 to 15 percent to its GDP. Its Finance Minister Mario Marcel has warned of "medium-term" damage from a 50-percent tariff, but said the country could mitigate longer-term harms through "market diversification." For Guajardo, this means Chile can "redirect its copper," particularly "to Southeast Asia and India" or even Europe. China is by far the leading buyer of Chilean copper, accounting for 52 percent -- totaling $26 billion --in 2024, according to the South American country's central bank. The United States occupied a distant second place with imports worth $5.8 billion from Chile, followed by Japan with $5.3 billion and South Korea with $2.8 billion. According to Maurice Obstfeld, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, "copper importers other than the US could gain" from the tariff hike. Chile says it has not been officially notified of the August 1 starting date for a copper tariff, and is still hoping to avoid it. The country's foreign ministry has said "confidential" talks with US delegates would continue to the last minute. According to Marcel, copper itself is not formally on the negotiating table, but will likely be included. "For this type of raw material, exceptions have been made in other agreements," he told Radio Duna earlier this week. After Trump's announcement on July 8, the price of copper soared to record levels in New York. US buyers rushed to stockpile the red metal before August 1, paying prices sometimes as much as 30 percent higher than in London.

Stablecoins Inspire Hope, And Hype, In Hong Kong
Stablecoin excitement has gripped Hong Kong as the city prepares to launch a licensing system for the less volatile type of cryptocurrency, but authorities warn against overplaying its future role in financial systems. The digital units have been touted as a cheaper, easier way to carry out monetary transactions -- and their popularity is soaring, with more than US$270 billion in circulation worldwide. Unlike the heady highs and lows of bitcoin, the value of most stablecoins is kept steady by being linked to an existing national currency -- mainly the dollar -- or a commodity like gold. Stablecoins are useful internationally because they enable fast, low-cost cross-border payments, handy in markets where hard currency is limited, such as Argentina and Nigeria. The tokens, bought and sold on digital exchanges, are also used as a safe way for crypto investors to station their profits, instead of converting to cash. "The size of the stablecoin market has reached a level where the cash flows have geopolitical implications," said Paul Brody, global blockchain leader at consulting firm EY. More than 99 percent of stablecoin assets are in US dollars, so for other countries "if you're not a player, you could find yourself frozen out", Brody told AFP. The US House of Representatives this month passed an act codifying stablecoin use, which Senator Bill Hagerty said will "ensure the dominance of the US dollar". Hong Kong's own stablecoin regulations come in on Friday, part of a push to position itself as an Asian crypto hub as US President Donald Trump's support for the sector fuels a global resurgence. "The opportunities are massive," said Rita Liu, whose payment company is developing a Hong Kong dollar-denominated stablecoin in a government-run trial. "There's a wave of legitimising the digital asset industry... Hong Kong is trying to be at the forefront of that wave," said Liu, chief executive of RD Technologies. Crypto trading has been banned since 2021 in mainland China, which sees it as a "bit too close to gambling", Brody said. He and others think stablecoins could prove more acceptable to Beijing, which has experimented with its own "e-yuan" central bank digital currency. Officials may first want to see how things go in the semi-autonomous territory of Hong Kong. So far, "a few dozen institutions" have expressed interest in issuing stablecoins or requested more information, Hong Kong Monetary Authority head Eddie Yue said last week. But he called for the public to "rein in the euphoria" over the new bill, as "in the initial stage, we will at most grant a handful of stablecoin issuer licences". "Some discussion on stablecoins may be overly idealistic," Yue warned, especially around their "potential to disrupt the mainstream financial system". The hype can inflate companies' stock prices, he added, a point echoed by Lily King of crypto company Cobo. "Some applications may be influenced by public relations strategies, as stablecoin-related news often drives market sentiment," she said. RD's Liu, a former senior manager at Chinese payment platform Alipay, feels that "some of it is fake hype, and some is real", fuelled by "people's hope in this industry". Stablecoins account for about seven percent of the global cryptocurrency market capitalisation, according to CoinGecko. If they eventually become "a mainstay of the plumbing" in finance, Hong Kong could enjoy something of a "first-mover advantage", said Jonas Goltermann at Capital Economics. Japan and Singapore already regulate stablecoins, while South Korea is exploring the possibility. While stablecoin issuers usually assure buyers their currency is backed up by real-world reserves, they are not risk-free, and sometimes deviate from their pegged value due to market fluctuations, tech issues or problems with the underlying assets. There is also the risk that stablecoins will become "more of a niche product" if banks work out how to make their own programmable money, Goltermann said. "It makes sense for Hong Kong to try anything -- it's kind of on a declining path, for reasons that are not to do with technology. It's mostly about the politics, and its relationship with China," he told AFP. "It's not like stablecoins are a silver bullet that can fix that. But that doesn't mean it can't help."

Markets Mixed As China-US Talks End, Eyes On Tech Earnings
Asian markets were mixed Wednesday as investors kept tabs on China-US developments after they agreed to further talks to extend their trade truce, while eyes were also on tech earnings and a key Federal Reserve meeting. After deals were reached with the European Union and Japan over the past week, focus has been on negotiations between Washington and Beijing to extend an agreement to lower eye-watering tariffs that threatened the world's top economies. The two-day meeting in Stockholm ended without a resolution but with the US team voicing optimism they could announce a second 90-day truce. Neither side has made public any details, although US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said President Donald Trump would have the "final call" on any extension. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the tone of the talks "very constructive". Chris Weston at Pepperstone said: "Progress on a further extension remains the well-subscribed base case, but Trump holds the final call on that, and we note there is still ample time until we reach the deadline of 12 August. "For now, the markets are unperturbed by what they hear and have a further impending 90-day extension fully priced." The general feeling is that the moratorium will be extended but there remains some nervousness, with many other countries still to reach agreements ahead of Trump's August 1 deadline. In early Asian trade, Tokyo was flat, while Hong Kong, Singapore and Manila were down and Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul, Wellington, Taipei and Jakarta rose. Among those countries still to reach a deal are Brazil and India, with the South American giant facing the threat of 50 percent tariffs. On Tuesday, the president said New Delhi could face a 20-25 percent rate, adding: "India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country. "You just can't do that." Major earnings releases from tech titans Meta and Microsoft are due Wednesday, with Amazon and Apple coming Thursday. "It's been a solid US reporting season so far, but these mega-cap names need to run it hot and blow the lights out, given the bar to please has been sufficiently raised," Pepperstone's Weston said. As well as the results, focus will be on the firms' forecasts in light of Trump's tariffs and their colossal investments in artificial intelligence. The Fed is widely expected to stand pat on interest rates Wednesday, but investors will be looking for any hint of a cut in September after recent economic data indicated some softening in the labour market. Oil prices held Tuesday's gains of more than three percent -- their biggest in six weeks, according to Bloomberg News -- after Trump reiterated his warning of fresh sanctions on Russia unless it reaches a truce deal with Ukraine.
