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 challenges is Keir Starmer facing in his leadership?
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.
Lastly, South Korea's KOSPI index has 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 closed totally.
So that was 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 sentiment across Asia, although the KOSPI is still up around 78% year-to-date. Right, those are a few of our top stories then for you this morning.
In terms of the markets, so oil prices are at 1.2% for Brent crude futures at $105.52. We have the dollar strengthening, the pound weakening three-tenths of 1%. Looking at bond markets, 10-year U.S. yields up a basis point of 4.42. Stock futures for Europe and the U.S. are deeply in the red. U.S. stocks' 50 futures are down by seven-tenths of 1%.
In terms of Michael Burry, the line that was interesting, he says this. We are witnessing history in the stock market. That is not a good thing. So basically, he's worried about, you know, a bubble. He's thinking about, you know, the 1999-2000 dot-com type issue where the Nasdaq was trading around 43 times earnings. So those are the kind of warnings that he's been issuing.
That's news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Jack Sidders.
I'm Caroline Hepke. And this is Bloomberg.
