Here’s Why French Unrest Is A Warning For Europe
More than half a million people joined protests in France over the cost of living, with some demonstrations descending into rioting and looting.

Italy, Belgium and Portugal have also seen protests as weak growth and living standards fuel anger across Europe.

Here's Why China's Export Juggernaut Is Flattening Rivals
China is building a major manufacturing advantage in higher-value industries, from electric cars and batteries to robotics and renewable energy. This year Chinese exports are on course to be about 80% higher than in 2019, putting manufacturers across the world under growing strain.

Here's Why 24-Hour Trading Could Be A Bad Idea
Stock markets in the US, Europe and Asia are moving toward nearly round-the-clock trading, responding to growing overseas demand and competition from always-on crypto and prediction markets. But longer trading hours don’t necessarily mean better markets. Thin overnight liquidity could bring wider spreads, sharper price swings and new operational risks. Bloomberg TV Markets Managing Editor Dan Curtis joins Stephen Carroll to discuss the race toward 24-hour trading, and why more time to trade could come at a cost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's Why Russia's Elections Matter For Putin
Russians will go to the polls on 18-20 September to elect members of the State Duma, the lower chamber of parliament. It's a tightly managed institution under President Putin, and his party's control of it is unlikely to be threatened. The vote will function, however, as a litmus test for a war-fatigued authoritarian system. Tony Halpin, who leads Bloomberg's team covering Russia, joins Stephen Carroll to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mounting anxiety over the US deficit has spurred demand for alternatives to the dollar, such as gold and Bitcoin. A movement away from dollar assets has been driven by fear the greenback will lose its purchasing power, but will those concerns last?
