Sentiment
Trump will host Zelenskiy and several European leaders to set out terms for a potential peace deal he discussed with Putin at last Friday’s meeting in Alaska. While the US is expected to focus on territorial concessions demanded by Russia, Kyiv will seek to pin down possible security guarantees, according to a person familiar with the matter. Trump and Putin agreed at their summit in Alaska last week that the US would be able to offer security guarantees to Ukraine, according to Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, even as many details of Friday’s meeting remain unclear. The Trump administration tightened long-standing eligibility requirements for clean energy tax credits, a move that could threaten the viability of hundreds of wind and solar energy projects under development. Raphael Bostic, president of the Atlanta Fed, says consumers are growing more stressed and tariff costs are real, based on his recent tour of the southeast US. Oil slipped as traders turned their attention to Donald Trump’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday, with the Ukrainian leader facing US pressure to reach a peace deal with Russia that involves ceding territory.
