On today's podcast:

(1) President Donald Trump said he’d impose increased tariffs on countries buying energy from Russia while clarifying that levies on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports would be announced “within the next week or so.”

(2) Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter arrived in Washington to make a last-minute bid for a deal to lower the 39% tariff imposed last week by Donald Trump.

(3) The outlook for Wall Street bonuses is improving, with payouts now set to rise across most sectors of the finance industry as the market rebounds.

(4) President Donald Trump said he would make his decision on a replacement for outgoing Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler this week as he looks to make his imprint on the central bank’s monetary policy.

(5) UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is facing a £51 billion ($68 billion) shortfall to fill at the autumn budget, according to a prominent economic think tank that warned she will likely need to break Labour’s pledge not to raise major taxes.

(6) When Novo Nordisk announced it was hunting for a replacement chief executive officer to revive its fortunes, the weight-loss drug maker — whose value has dropped by about two thirds in the past year — could have parachuted in a hot-shot executive from outside.
