Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) Traders are boosting bets on interest-rate hikes from the European Central Bank and the Bank of England as climbing energy prices threaten to keep inflation entrenched through the coming year.

(2) Iran is ready for a more intense war and will escalate counterstrikes if the US continues attacking its territory and infrastructure, according to a senior official from the Islamic Republic.

(3) Apple unveiled the company’s first foldable smartphone during a wide-ranging event Wednesday, betting that a new category can energize growth for its biggest-selling lineup.

(4) An unprecedented number of US companies sold bonds in Europe on Wednesday, drawn by liquidity and attractive terms as their home market strains under a deluge of AI-related debt.

(5) Jimmie Åkesson won’t become prime minister in coming elections in Sweden but in a way he’s already won. For more than a decade now, the 47-year-old far-right populist has been steering the national conversation in one of most stubbornly progressive corners of Europe.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent challenged traders to test his resolve on boosting Japan’s currency, saying when he makes market calls these days he’s effectively doing so with inside information.

(2) US forces destroyed five Iranian tankers carrying crude oil on Tuesday in response to two attempts to hit a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles in as many days, Central Command said.

(3) The UK, France, Canada and other countries announced coordinated measures against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, as western nations sought to raise pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

(4) The US escalated its trade war with Canada following Ottawa’s tariff retaliation, moving to block imports of some products while slapping new tariffs on others, as well as seeking to bar Canadian companies from selling to government contractors.

(5) The Melville Sugar Mill in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province has closed and trees have grown through its brick chimneys, a sign of the struggling sugar industry. The sugar industry sustains more than a million people and provides jobs in a country with high unemployment, but it is struggling to compete with imports and has been in decline since reaching a production peak in 2003.
