What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere is the latest. Bloomberg reports Franco-German unity on China trade paves the way for a tougher European Union line. Exporters should expect tariff risk.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFrance and Germany agreeing on something, Hank. That's either a historic turning point or the first sign of the apocalypse. I'm leaning apocalypse, and delighted.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBloomberg also says Governor Ueda did little to challenge bets against an October Bank of Japan hike. That keeps yen and carry-trade uncertainty alive.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA central banker who says nothing is the most dangerous kind. My bank manager does the same, usually before he seizes the shed.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Economic Times says the Reserve Bank of India is expected to hike for the first time in three years.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBrokerages favor HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank.
