European leaders have taken a significant step towards peace in Ukraine, solidifying support for a new agreement aimed at ending the conflict. Following a surprise announcement from US President Donald Trump that the country’s strategic reserve would include lesser-traded tokens, cryptocurrency prices surged globally. However, this trend was overshadowed by ongoing tensions between Deutsche Bank and the European Central Bank over concerns about risk management.
Meanwhile, high interest rates and uncertainty over immigration policy have led to a decline in home renovations among US homeowners, further exacerbating concerns about the state of the country’s housing market. In contrast, the UK and France are making efforts to strengthen their support for Ukraine, as they aim to reach a new peace deal following a recent White House confrontation.
As the situation continues to unfold, European leaders remain committed to finding a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. The FT News Briefing is produced by a team of experts who provide timely updates on the latest developments.
