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

On today's podcast:

(1) A Qatari complex housing the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export plant suffered “extensive damage” amid a sharp escalation of attacks on energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.

(2) President Donald Trump pressed for a de-escalation of attacks on Middle East energy assets after Iranian and Israeli strikes on major gas hubs jolted global markets.

(3) Spy chief Tulsi Gabbard dodged questions about the severity of the threat posed by Iran in Senate testimony on Wednesday, with the long-time skeptic of foreign interventions careful not to contradict either her own past beliefs or the Trump administration’s stance on the conflict.

(4) Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged and continued to expect one rate cut this year as they acknowledged increased uncertainty due to war in the Middle East.

(5) The Bank of Japan kept its policy rate unchanged as uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict clouds the economic outlook, while also pledging to raise borrowing costs if its price forecast materializes. 

(6) The Bank of England may respond more aggressively than expected to soaring energy prices since war broke out in the Middle East because its internal models assume a large and long-lasting impact on inflation.

(7) HSBC is weighing deep job cuts over the coming years as Chief Executive Officer Georges Elhedery bets on AI to shrink its middle and back offices, one of the first signs of how the technology could reshape Wall Street workforces.

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

On today's podcast:

(1) US President Donald Trump abandoned his effort to recruit partners for the war with Iran and scolded allies who openly rejected his appeals, even as he repeated claims the conflict would end soon.

(2) Europe is learning how to say “no” to Donald Trump over his war in Iran. Nearly three weeks into the expanding conflict, European leaders have stopped equivocating and started outright telling the US president they won’t help his campaign with Israel.

(3) Israel’s killing of Ali Larijani, a veteran Iranian politician known for his pragmatism and long experience helming national security, leaves the Islamic Republic’s wartime leadership largely in the hands of hardliners who may be less likely to seek a diplomatic pathway out of the war.

(4) Oil dropped as Iraq signed a deal to resume exports via Turkey that avoid the Strait of Hormuz, and as the US stepped up efforts to force the reopening of the key waterway.

(5) Artificial intelligence won’t necessarily lead to job cuts in Europe and may benefit companies in the region, according to Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel.

(6) Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said she is drawing up plans to give regional leaders in the UK control of some national tax revenues as part of her push to raise economic growth across Britain.
