The Eurozone's economy grew by 0.1% in the second quarter, exceeding economists' predictions of stagnation. This follows a 0.6% expansion in Q1.

A recent EU-US trade framework was agreed, including 15% tariffs on some goods, though levies on autos were reduced. European bond yields remained largely unaffected by the news.
