Iran and the US carried out what appeared to be their largest tit-for-tat tanker strikes yet over the weekend, pushing oil prices higher as both nations continue to escalate a six-month war that has disrupted shipping and stoked global inflation. The far-right Alternative for Germany scored its best-ever result in a state election on Sunday amid growing public discontent with the political establishment, delivering a powerful blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Meanwhile Jordan Bardella, head of the far-right National Rally party, set out his red lines for the battle over narrowing France’s yawning budget deficit ahead of the 2027 presidential campaign. In an exclusive interview with Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua, Bardella vowed to fight any tax hike on households and business.
