Good morning. The EU plans to engage with countries hit by US tariffs. Advances in Chinese biotech are changing the world's drug pipeline. And London is now the second-most expensive city for luxury spending. Listen to the day's top stories.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said such a rate would hit exporters in his country 'to the core.' In markets, US and European stock futures slid and Asian shares edged lower amid the tariff tensions. Bitcoin breached $120,000 for the first time, with investor optimism increasing almost daily.

Speaking to local reporters, Yeo flagged the concerns over the sectoral duties likely to be imposed on chips, adding that the government is working urgently to minimize separate across-the-board tariffs scheduled to take effect on Aug. 1. Yeo indicated that any final deal needed to factor in the chip tariffs, too.
