Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
(1) Senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter, a sign that Washington is assembling the infrastructure to directly enter a conflict with Tehran.
(2) Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two interest-rate cuts in 2025, though new projections showed a growing divide among policymakers over the trajectory for borrowing costs as tariffs make their way through the US economy.
(3) The Bank of England is expected to keep interest rates at 4.25% on Thursday and signal it is sticking with its one-cut-every-other-meeting approach as officials try to strike a balance between elevated inflation, higher oil prices and a slowing economy.
(4) London is seeking to attract more Chinese firms to list on its stock exchange as the city struggles with a shrinking equity market and a deal drought across Europe.
(5) The number of London homes for sale at £5 million ($6.8 million) or more rose to the highest on record last month, as the nation contends with the departure of wealthy foreigners looking to escape tax hikes.
