Trump said on the Ukraine war that he believes both Russia and Ukraine want to reach an agreement and that he expects one to be reached.

South Korea's KOSPI fell below 7,500, down 6.89% intraday.

Cambridge University researchers say applying a steady physical pressure of about 12.5 bar can roughly double lithium‑ion cell life in lab tests; pressure above that promotes lithium plating on the anode, while too little pressure causes cathode cracking, both accelerating degradation. Authors say the method could extend EV battery service life, reduce battery scrappage and recycling strain, and lower demand for critical minerals such as nickel and cobalt — implications for mining supply, EV residual values and used‑car market dynamics.
