YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China’s retail sales growth unexpectedly weakened in November despite signs of improvement in the housing market. Retail sales rose 3% from a year ago, the slowest pace in three months and undershooting even the most bearish of forecasts. Industrial output increased 5.4%, keeping momentum as the manufacturing side of the economy continues to outperform consumer spending. In Europe, France’s new Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is meeting with far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Monday, kicking off an effort to form a government that can push a budget through a divided Parliament. The effort to form a government and craft a budget took on added urgency, after Moody’s Ratings over the weekend cut France’s credit rating, citing its weak finances and political gridlock.

Today's guests: Ozan Tarman, Deutsche Bank Global Macro Vice Chair; Jean-Pierre Clamadieu, Engie Chairman; Nadia Calvino, European Investment Bank President
