About this episode

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:


(1) UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Rachel Reeves will stay on as Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he sought to draw a line under speculation about her future that sparked a bond selloff.


(2) As speculation of Reeves’ potential ouster raced through markets, 30-year gilt yields surged 19 basis points Wednesday, the biggest jump since April and one strong enough to send ripples into US Treasuries. Stocks slid. And the pound tumbled as investors headed for the exits, skeptical of Starmer’s continued commitment to shoring up the nation’s precarious finances.

 
(3) The “weaponization” of foreign exchange is posing a growing headache for central bank reserve managers, giving them more reason to boost their holdings of gold.


(4) House Republican leaders struggled to find the final votes to advance Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending package, holding a key vote open for hours as the president and his allies worked to win them over but expressing confidence the legislation would eventually pass.

 
(5) President Donald Trump’s administration has lifted recent export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, as Washington and Beijing implement a trade deal for both countries to ease some restrictions on critical technologies.


(6) President Donald Trump said he had reached a trade deal with Vietnam following weeks of intense diplomacy between the nations and ahead of a deadline next week that would have seen higher tariffs imposed on the country’s imports.
