China Leads Global Energy Investment as US Inflation Expected to Slow in October
China plans to invest $940 billion in energy in 2026, leading global spending with a focus on renewable capacity and grid infrastructure. Renewable power accounted for 38.3% of China's electricity output in early 2026, while coal's share fell below 50%. Meanwhile, US inflation is expected to slow in October after recent sharp rises, with consumer prices projected to increase modestly. The upcoming inflation data will inform Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates amid ongoing economic concerns.
