On today's podcast:
(1) City firms reported a 72% surge in non-financial misconduct complaints over the last three years following a string of high-profile scandals including sexual harassment allegations leveled at hedge fund chief Crispin Odey.

(2) Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britons who get additional income from stock holdings don’t count as ‘working people,’ suggesting he’s willing to raise taxes on investors.

(3) President Xi Jinping’s boldest economic stimulus since the pandemic failed to impress global luminaries gathered in Washington this week, who called for more measures to rebalance China’s growth and greater clarity over Beijing’s policy plans.

(4) European Central Bank Governing Council member Pierre Wunsch said it’s far too early to start considering a half-point interest-rate reduction in December. Views among European Central Bank officials about where to take monetary policy are starting to diverge as the institution’s 2% inflation target moves within close reach.

(5) Clearing houses pose a risk to the financial system if they are not robustly operated, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said. (6) Fragmentation in Europe’s banking markets is leading to lower returns for shareholders and higher borrowing costs, according to UBS Group AG chief executive officer Sergio Ermotti.
