An automated air-defence system able to destroy attacking drones for about $10,000 apiece is helping Turkish defence exports expand in the Gulf and Ukraine. Aselsan, Turkey's largest defence firm by market value, said CEO Ahmet Akyol that its Korkut gun system is deployed in nine countries and has destroyed "perhaps hundreds" of drones and can counter Shahed‑style suicide drones. Governments are increasingly seeking affordable defences against mass drone attacks.

BofA head of international business Bernard Mensah said he is somewhat concerned about sovereign bond yields.

China's National Energy Administration issued implementation opinions to advance integration of coal-fired power and renewables, requiring that integration must not reduce coal units' ability to provide system support and flexibility. Renewable capacity in integration projects must be sized to match the enhanced regulating capability delivered by coal-unit upgrades. The guidance calls for stronger coal decarbonization to materially improve decarbonization quality and efficiency, measures to boost renewable offtake and cut wind/solar curtailment, and support for diversified innovation and pilot deployments of integration technologies. Integration models should be chosen by local conditions; by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan the NEA expects mature application of integration scenarios and significant reductions in annual carbon emissions versus pre-retrofit/pre-construction levels.
