The coming weeks will be a critical period for the US stock market, one that will determine whether its latest rebound can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Federal Reserves interest rate decision will all be released over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The stock market appears to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 just posted its weakest monthly gain since March, with September historically its worst month. Meanwhile, market volatility has all but vanished. The VIX index, a fear index, has only touched the key 20 level once since late June. "Investors are right to be cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is resuming a modest rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, making it difficult for traders to determine their positioning." The long-term US stock bull predicts the S&P 500 will fall 5% to 10% this fall before rebounding to between 6,800 and 7,000 points.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: The EUs new 150 billion euro plan to accelerate investment in the EUs defense industry will benefit Poland the most.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: Continue to advance trade negotiations after the tariff ruling (made by the U.S. court).On August 31, Yuzhou Group announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that during the six months ending June 30, 2025, the contract sales amount reached RMB 3.729 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 14.21%; revenue was RMB 2.397 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 62.42%; the loss attributable to the parent companys owners was RMB 5.632 billion, and the loss attributable to the parent companys owners in the same period last year was RMB 6.256 billion.Kremlin: European countries are hindering Trumps efforts on Ukraine.

According to a study published on Sunday, the ramifications of the Ukraine conflict may hasten Germany's shift to green energy despite Berlin's desire to connect coal-fired power units to compensate for diminishing fossil fuel supplies from Russia.


The German government has pushed for a shift to renewable energy, with the target of 80 percent of the nation's electricity generation coming from renewables by 2030.


Credit insurer Allianz (ETR:ALVG) Trade's study revealed that Germany's green energy objectives were expected to increase the amount of renewable energies in the electrical mix in the medium term, even beyond what would be required to meet the 2035 Paris climate targets.


The research showed that the rise in coal-fired power output permitted by the German government earlier this month will not raise CO2 emissions in the European Union since production will be regulated by the EU emissions trading system.


According to the analysis, it is unlikely that coal will become a long-term substitute for Russian gas due to the high EU carbon trading prices.


"(Coal-fired power generation) will be forced off the market," said the study's author, Markus Zimmer.


Moreover, he added that the planning and approval procedures for renewable energy must be simplified and hastened in order to meet the objectives of the German government.


According to the analysis, Germany's expansion of renewable energy in the power sector would need annual expenditures of around 28 billion euros through 2035, and the sector would need approximately 440,000 employees from 2022 to 2035 to achieve the goals.
