Federal Reserve Vice Chair JEFFERSON said the Fed must not only communicate but also act to ensure the public understands its intent and commitment to restore inf to the 2% target; that is very important.

U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said via social media on the 27th (local time) it struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific that it says was operated by a "designated terrorist organization", killing two male "drug terrorists". SOUTHCOM said intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting a "known drug trafficking route" in the eastern Pacific and was participating in "drug trafficking operations".

CITIC Securities research says as newly arrived supply is largely absorbed by demand, previously hidden older inventory is gradually surfacing. SMM (Shanghai Metals Market) has adjusted its inventory structure to raise sample coverage of traders and cell makers, rendering traders' hidden stock and cell makers' customer-supplied reserves visible. The new-sample latest weekly inventory stood at 137,000 t, down 0.8% WoW; the old-sample weekly inventory was 101,000 t, down 1.2% WoW. During the week, as prices fell further, purchase intent strengthened, restocking willingness rose and buying activity became active. Lithium carbonate output edged lower this week, mainly due to spodumene-line maintenance; due to tight feedstock, output is expected to remain on a downward trend in May–June. Downstream energy-storage production scheduling remains at a high level and a rebound in demand momentum provides base support, leaving lithium prices in a short-term consolidation phase.

Local time May 27, 2026 in New York, CHINA FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI met with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bulasuokun. WANG YI thanked Bulasuokun for attending the UN Security Council high‑level meeting, saying Cambodia voiced its position, projected its image and boosted its influence on that platform. Against a disorderly international backdrop, participants at the meeting jointly called for adherence to the UN Charter, practice of multilateralism, full use of the UN’s role and rejection of unilateral bullying. China‑Cambodia relations currently maintain strong momentum. The first meeting of the China‑Cambodia foreign ministers and defense ministers "2+2" strategic dialogue was held successfully; both sides agreed to upgrade it to a diplomatic, defense and public security "3+3" mechanism, which reflects high‑level mutual trust and signals scope for further development. China said it is willing to deepen comprehensive strategic cooperation with Cambodia, tighten high‑level exchanges, advance pragmatic cooperation in trade, energy, law enforcement and connectivity, strengthen multilateral coordination, and promote building an all‑weather China‑Cambodia community of shared future in the new era.
