China expands critical mineral export controls after US imposes tariffs
BEIJING (Reuters) -China announced export restrictions on Tuesday on five metalsused across defence, clean energy and other industries minutes after an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump came into effect. The restrictions are the latest attempt by China since 2023 to leverage its dominance in the mining and processing of critical minerals used in everything from smartphones and electric car batteries to infrared missiles and ammunition.

Analysts noted that UBS's results were mixed, with net new assets missing forecasts, and that a lot of expectation was built into the price with shares up more than 80% since the bank bought its rival Credit Suisse in a 2023 emergency takeover.
