About this episode
We are live in Brussels where EU leaders have failed to agree on renewed aid to Ukraine following stiff opposition from Hungary. However, the bloc has confirmed accession talks with Kyiv are to go ahead. Wall Street and European indices remain in the green but lose some momentum following this week’s Fed rate decision. Asian markets, however, push higher led by the Hang Seng. In China, manufacturing output surges in November but the retail sales disappoint. European central banks remain hawkish, rejecting market hopes of a New Year pivot towards rates cuts.
