News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Karen Moscow. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has died, according to NBC, from complications of Parkinson's disease.
Chapter 2: What was Alan Greenspan's impact on the economy and his legacy?
He was 100. We get more with Bloomberg's John Tucker.
Greenspan was born in New York in 1926. He studied business and economics at NYU. He'd gone to serve as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ford. Ronald Reagan appointed him to head the Federal Reserve, where he'd serve an unprecedented five terms. His legacy would be challenged when the financial crisis erupted less than two years after he stepped down.
Everybody missed it. Academia, the Federal Reserve, all regulators.
During his tenure, his mention of irrational exuberance in the markets briefly sent stocks tumbling around the world. John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, John, thank you. And again, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has died at the age of 100. Major developments involving politics in the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announcing he is stepping down, and Bloomberg's Ewan Potts has more from London.
Less than two years after his landslide election victory, Keir Starmer says he's standing down as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He made the announcement outside Number 10 Downing Street earlier this morning.
I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the summer recess. In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September.
Starmer went on to say, the question my party is asking is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. He said, I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party and I accept that answer with good grace. A key contender for the leadership has ruled himself out, leaving the favourite former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham in a very strong position.
Starmer's exit opens the door to Britain's fifth premiere since 2022, quite the milestone for a political system once prized for its stability. In London, I'm Ewan Potts, Bloomberg Radio.
