The US launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran in response to an attack on American forces in Jordan, escalating a conflict that’s now spreading across the Middle East. After the Fed kept interest rates unchanged for a seventh consecutive month, investors dumped 30-year Treasury bonds, sending the yield shooting up as much as 14 basis points to nearly 5.23%, a 19-year high. Market measures of inflation expectations rose, the dollar slid, and even stocks tumbled as investors wagered Warsh was only delaying an inevitable rate hike. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
