What is the Ministry of Commerces view on this? Answer: China has noted the EUs discussions on relations with China. China and the EU are important economic and trade partners on an equal footing and based on mutual benefit. We hope the EU will abide by WTO rules, uphold free trade and fair competition, and firmly oppose protectionism and unilateralism. Communication channels between China and the EU are open, and both sides are exploring the establishment of a trade and investment consultation mechanism and will conduct relevant dialogues. We hope the EU will work with China to jointly implement the consensus reached by the leaders of both sides, properly handle differences and frictions through dialogue and consultation, and promote the stable and healthy development of China-EU economic and trade relations. If the EU insists on unilaterally introducing new trade instruments and adopting discriminatory restrictions, China will resolutely retaliate and take effective measures to safeguard its own interests.The commander of the Ukrainian drone force stated that a Ukrainian drone attacked an oil refinery in Taganrog, Russia.On May 30th, the Guangdong Provincial Peoples Government announced on its official website that the "Hong Kong vehicles traveling north" policy will be extended for another five years, until June 1, 2031.

After a corrective dip to about $1,810.00 in the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has gained demand. The precious gold retraced after touching the $1,820.00 resistance level, but it is anticipated to resume its ascent as the risk aversion theme has diminished.
