Trump-Xi Meeting Looms Over Global Economy

President Donald Trump's meeting with China's Xi Jinping on Thursday in Washington is the week's pivotal event, covering tariffs and technology, with tensions higher than their May talks. The outcome could shape the global economy. US officials have criticized China over the trade truce, while Chinese export curbs on critical minerals have caused supply shocks. Preliminary talks began Sunday in New York, and it is unclear if the truce will be extended by a year. The summit is also watched by the EU, which plans its own China talks in October. Elsewhere, monetary policy decisions in China and Indonesia, plus PMI data from Japan to the euro zone, will highlight the economic calendar.
