CPCA secretary-general Cui Dongshu wrote that national passenger-vehicle inventory at end‑May 2026 was 3.48 mln units, down 60k MoM and up 30k YoY; manufacturer inventories make up 30.3%, a relatively high share. CPCA optimism for May was 27%; early‑June post‑May satisfaction was 26%, with high oil prices cited as the main adverse factor. The team's optimism for June dropped to 31%, a recent historical low. Inventory at pure new‑energy vehicle manufacturers rose to 790k units in May, up 40k MoM, 10k above the Nov‑2025 peak but down 80k YoY from 870k in May‑2025. OEM and dealer channel inventories for NEVs are facing retail demand below expectations, leaving elevated industry inventory pressure.

President Trump sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu after an Israeli strike on Beirut hours before a planned US-Iran agreement signing, saying the attack showed "no judgment" and left him "very angry." Trump said he was told about the strike roughly one hour before the scheduled signing and that rockets earlier fired by Hezbollah landed in open areas with no injuries, yet Israel struck Beirut. The strike delayed the signing that was due that morning; Trump said he still expected the deal to be signed within hours. He described the agreement as preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, allowing inspections with 24-hour notice and eliminating Iran's stock of highly enriched uranium.
