Any euphoria over the size of its win, though, will be quickly overshadowed by the scale of the economic challenges facing the next government. Among economic data this week, inflation cooled last month in the euro zone, the US labor market showed further signs of moderating and Japan’s household spending retreated. Here are some of the charts that appeared on Bloomberg this week on ...
Four years after Brexit, its impact on the economy and the political landscape continues to unfold. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement may have avoided tariffs, but most trade between the two blocs is now subject to non-tariff barriers.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday dismissed suggestions that his party was headed to defeat in the July 4 general election, using one of his final televised appearances to defend the Conservatives' record on the economy. Sunak told the BBC that he believed he'd still be in power by the end of the week, despite opinion polls that have found the Conservatives trailing far behind the opposition Labour Party of Keir Starmer. “I'm fighting very hard," Sunak said. “And I think people are waking up to the real danger of what a Labour ...
Policy uncertainty linked to upcoming elections in France and the United States has increased the risk of market volatility and other economic fallout, the Bank of England warned Thursday. The BoE forecast, contained in the central bank’s half-yearly financial stability report, comes ahead of the first round of a snap French election Sunday and a US presidential vote in November.
