Global events/updates

- Fixed-asset investment expanded by just 0.5% year-to-date, also sharply lower than earlier in the year, reflecting subdued business activity. At the same time, the survey-based urban unemployment rate climbed to 5.3% in August, with officials linking this rise partly to seasonal factors like new graduates entering the job market.

- He also urged NATO members to impose steep tariffs on China, arguing these collective moves would pressure Russia to quickly end the war in Ukraine. As of now, Trump’s proposed sanctions are conditional and have not yet been enacted.
- India’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August 2025 rose to 2.07%, up from 1.55% in July, marking the first increase in 10 months. This uptick was primarily driven by a slowdown in the decline of food prices, with vegetable prices falling by 15.92% compared to a sharper 20.69% drop in July.
