Austria’s central bank chief is calling for a third-straight 0.75 percentage point interest rate rise at the European Central Bank’s next meeting, Disney executives ousted Bob Chapek as CEO and re-installed Bob Iger, and oil prices had a hectic day yesterday but remain well below their summer peak. Plus, the UK’s appetite for bacon is back.
