Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.
On today’s show, stocks in Asia slump, while futures point to another day of losses, as traders hold fire ahead of today’s delayed data on the US labor market.
President Trump says a deal to end the war in Ukraine is closer than ever. But President Zelenskiy makes clear that territory remains a key disagreement.
And the US President has sued the BBC for at least $10 billion over a misleading edit in a documentary last year that gave the impression he’d made a direct call for violence in a speech leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.
Today’s guest: Tineke Frikkee, Head of UK Equity Research at W1M.
