Volkswagen is adding a compact electric SUV, the ID. Cross, to its budget EV lineup as high fuel prices and purchase subsidies push European buyers away from petrol variants like the T‑Cross. The ID. Cross starts at about €28,000 (≈$32,000) and is open for pre‑order; sales of a smaller‑battery version will start later. Volkswagen said the ID. Cross and lower‑priced electric variants of the Polo, Cupra Raval and Skoda Epiq will be built in Spain, where production costs are significantly lower than in Germany, positioning the range to compete with models such as BYD’s Dolphin.

Economist Nouriel Roubini warned inflation remains the biggest market risk, driven by geopolitical tensions, deglobalization and rising government spending. He said a sustained inflation upswing could produce sharp moves in long-term yields: if US CPI reaches 5–6%, the 10-year US Treasury yield could be near 8%. That would be the highest level since 1994, versus about 4.58% currently. Roubini also cited structural pressures — growing government debt and increased Treasury issuance — which could push yields higher if demand does not keep pace.
