            <description><![CDATA[China is building more large-scale wind and solar than the rest of the world combined, but inadequate transmission links and a continued reliance on coal-fired power are limiting its use, according to a report published on Tuesday.

Wind and solar make up around 20% of the power sent through China's ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission network, little changed since 2021, while 42% is from coal, the Global Energy Monitor said.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Goldman Sachs said on Monday that Brent crude could top $120 a barrel in the fourth quarter this year and average $100 a barrel next year if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain disrupted and Gulf output only fully recovers by the end of 2027.

            <description><![CDATA[Zinc prices are expected to retreat from recent highs over the rest of the year as lacklustre demand offsets supply disruptions, analysts say. The metal used to galvanise steel is up more than 13% on the London Metal Exchange in 2026 due to tight ore supply and smelter production losses. Outperforming copper, aluminium, lead and nickel, zinc last month climbed to its highest in almost four years at $3 658 per metric ton.]]></description>
