Episode notes

The European Central Bank will likely raise interest rates today to fight inflation. Chinese companies have earned way more on European stock exchanges than they have on Wall Street this year. Food producers in Europe are warning that the continent could experience shortages as temperatures drop. We'll talk about the ECB's hawkish pivot.

Chinese companies have raised six times as much money through share sales in Europe than the US this year, and European farmers expect a sky-high food prices and droughts this winter. Plus, the FT’s Frankfurt bureau chief, Martin Arnold, explains why the European Central Bank is finally getting hawkish.
