48:37Now PlayingECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel suggests interest rates have reached the bottom, saying she's comfortable with bets that the next rate move will be a hike. Schnabel is the first policymaker to declare with any certainty that borrowing costs aren’t simply in a “good place” — as President Christine Lagarde and others have repeatedly said — but have reached a floor.
China's top leaders have made boosting domestic demand their top priority for 2026, as they seek to protect the economy from global trade. The Communist party's decision-making Politburo has also hinted at a measured approach to stimulus. They say they will keep their “proactive” fiscal and “moderately loose” monetary stances in play.
Plus Ukraine's President heads to London where Prime Minister Keir Starmer is hosting European leaders, as they seek to steer US-led peace talks. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump said he was disappointed in the way Volodymyr Zelenskiy had handled Washington's proposal to end the war.
