Bloomberg Daybreak: Europe Edition

New Face, Same Brexit Deadlock and Hedge Fund Winners

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

On today's podcast:

(1) The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate in a split decision showing dissent within the board as it confronts mounting inflation risks and unusually explicit calls for further policy normalization from Washington.

(2) The European Central Bank must get inflation under control as failing to do so would endanger economic expansion, Governing Council member Ante Zigman warned.

(3) After the early optimism of Andy Burnham’s premiership, the UK’s new prime minister now finds himself right where he didn’t want to be: at the mercy of bond markets.

(4) DoubleLine Capital chief executive Jeffrey Gundlach warned that the next US downturn could trigger a debt crisis that sends long-term Treasury yields sharply higher — defying decades of conventional wisdom that bonds will always serve as safe haven during times of economic strife.

(5) The Trump administration will allow the core members of an Iranian delegation to travel to the United Nations in New York for the General Assembly next week, the State Department said, even as the US and Iran remain at war in the Middle East.

(6) ExxonMobil Holdings Corp. says the world is on course for rapid global temperature increases as coal use persists, pushing emissions beyond mid-century climate goals.

(7) It's the start of London Fashion week - haute couture sitting alongside high street and emerging young designers.

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

On today's podcast:

(1) A year ago, when Kevin Warsh was angling to lead the Federal Reserve, he called out the central bank for keeping interest rates too high and touted a technological revolution that would spur growth without driving inflation.

(2) The Bank of England is expected to hold interest rates as it waits for more evidence that a fresh bout of inflation risks a damaging wage-price spiral.

(3) Britain’s monarch plans to ask some of the most critical figures in artificial intelligence for reassurances the technologists can keep their inventions under control.

(4) President Donald Trump floated hitting goods imported from the European Union with fresh tariffs or even cutting off some trade if he determined that a push to make Canada a potential associate of the bloc was harmful to the US.

(5) Europe is set for one of its smallest ever potato harvests after a succession of heat waves and lingering drought battered the water-hungry staple.

(6) The central square in Kozani has what you’d probably expect from a small Greek city. There’s an Orthodox church, the mayor’s office and a crop of tavernas and cafes. There’s little to suggest it lies at the heart of a transition that the country has a lot riding on.
