Hello, I'm Stephen Carroll. I'm in Brussels, where many of Europe's biggest decisions get made.
And I'm Caroline Hepke in London. We're the hosts of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast.
We're up early every weekday, keeping an eye on what's happening across Europe and around the world.
We do it early so the news is fresh, not recycled, and so you know what actually matters as the day gets going.
From Brussels, I'm following the politics, policy and the people shaping the European Union right now.
And from London, I'm looking at what all that means for markets, money and the wider economy.
We've got reporters across Europe and around the globe feeding in as stories break.
So whether it's geopolitics, energy, tech or markets, you're hearing it while it happens.
It's smart, calm and to the point.
And it fits into your morning.
You can find new episodes of the Bloomberg Daybreak Europe podcast by 7 a.m. in Dublin or 8 a.m. in Brussels, Berlin and Paris.
On Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Dan Schwartzman. Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khomeini says in a written statement marking the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage that American military bases in the Middle East will no longer be safe while also declaring victory in the war against the U.S. and Israel. Despite American and Israeli attacks on Iranian air defense sites as well as mine-laying ships in recent days, the U.S. and Iran have indicated they're closing in on an interim deal that would extend the current ceasefire and be followed by more detailed talks on Iran's nuclear program and U.S. sanctions. Meanwhile, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis says the Strait of Hormuz needs to reopen as part of any deal.
We cannot, we the world, we the global economy, we the United States and our allies, We can't simply turn this thing over to the Iranians and have them charge us an IEA toll. No way.
Retired Admiral James Stavridis is now a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. He was a guest on Bloomberg Surveillance. We got a new look at the health of the consumer. The conference board's gauge of consumer confidence edged down a bit this month, with prices continuing to rise due to the Iran war. Dana Peterson is the conference board's chief economist.
Current situations were worse in terms of their optimism. That includes the business outlook as well as jobs available. They were a little bit more optimistic about business and labor six months from now, but were still concerned about income, which is actually a bit new because typically they say that their incomes are okay.
Conference Board Chief Economist Dana Peterson was a guest on Bloomberg Intelligence. Texas Republican voters are heading to the polls today to vote in a primary for a U.S. Senate seat, with the incumbent John Cornyn fighting to continue his nearly 24-year career in Washington after President Trump endorsed his rival, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Final votes are expected around 9 p.m. Eastern time, with results after that. The race has become one of the most expensive in Senate history, with around $23 million spent on media. Eli Lilly is buying three clinical stage vaccine developers for as much as $3.8 billion. The agreements give the pharma giant access to novel technology and experimental immunizations for shingles, common bacterial pathogens, and Epstein-Barr virus.
Bloomberg's Madison Muller reports it's a return to form after Lilly's highly profitable run into weight loss drugs.
They were the first ones to manufacture the Salk polio vaccine back in the 1950s. They made antibiotics back in the 1940s. And so they've been in this area over the last 100 years or so.
That's Bloomberg's Madison Muller reporting. Under a proposal from the Office of Personnel Management, federal employees would sign nondisclosure agreements to discourage them from leaking government information to the press and the public. The proposal is the Trump administration's latest effort to crack down on federal employees leaking non-public information to journalists.
