Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
(1) Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump sparred through their first debate on ABC News, with the former president often on the defensive over abortion rights, the January 6 insurrection and on foreign policy. This podcast includes extracts from that ABC News debate.
(2) The Bank of Japan will continue to adjust policy going forward provided the economy performs in line with its projections, BOJ Board Member Junko Nakagawa said, in comments that bumped the yen to its highest level against the dollar since January.
(3) US banks scored a big break from regulators on new capital rules — only to ruin their own celebration with downbeat outlooks on lending.
(4) Keir Starmer received a warning shot from his own Labour Party over the difficult battles ahead as he tries to fix Britain’s public finances, after his government suffered a significant display of dissent over his decision to scrap winter fuel payments for most UK pensioners.
(5) Australian real estate listing provider REA Group Ltd. presented a £5.6 billion ($7.3 billion) takeover proposal for Rightmove Plc that was rejected by the UK’s biggest property portal by market value.
