Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

Chapter 2: What is the current political pressure facing Keir Starmer?
The investor made famous by the big short is now sounding the alarm on US stocks. Writing in a post on Substack, Michael Burry said, "...we are witnessing history in the stock market. That is not a good thing." He argues that the market resembles the peak of the dot-com bubble, pointing to the Nasdaq 100 now trading at around 43 times earnings.
Burry is among a number of market observers who have raised concerns about the rally driven by the artificial intelligence spending boom that, for now at least, shows no signs of cooling. In London, Chris Pitt, Bloomberg Radio.
South Korea's KOSPI index shed more than $300 billion in value in just 97 minutes today. The sharp sell-off followed a proposal from the president's policy chief to introduce a so-called citizen dividend funded by excess profits from the AI industry. Christy Tan, senior investment strategist at the Franklin Templeton Institute, says there may be more volatility ahead for the index.
What we saw this morning, that the market is still very sensitive. I would be enthusiastic and careful at the same time. These markets are winners from AI capex, but they are also concentrated, especially in Taiwan. For Korea, the structural discount has narrowed, but that's not close totally.
Christy Tan of the Franklin Templeton Institute speaking there. The sell-off equates to more than $3 billion a minute in losses for the benchmark index, weighing on the sentiment across Asia, although the KOSPI is still up over 80% this year. And those are your top stories on the programme this morning. On the markets, we are watching the pound, half a percent weaker against the dollar, $1.3536.
That's versus the... Euro being three tenths weaker against the dollar this morning. Gilt yields higher seven to eight basis points across the curve. The 10-year yields at 5.09% currently. And we are seeing European shares selling off. The stock 600 down 1.2%. The FTSE 100 1.1% lower and similar drops in the key benchmark indices in France and Germany as well.
Looking at oil prices, Brent crude is up 2.1%, $106.39 this morning.
That's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Tiwa Adebayo.
And I'm Stephen Carroll. And this is Bloomberg.
