47:08Now PlayingBloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we'll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.
On today's show, the global bond selloff deepens as rising oil prices fuel inflation concerns. President Trump has warned Iran that the 'clock is ticking' for a deal to be done to end the war, but both sides remain at loggerheads.
Spiking bond yields are likely to dominate a meeting of G-7 finance ministers in Paris, as oil-fueled inflation threatens global growth. The French Finance Minister Roland Lescure tells Bloomberg the bond market is correcting rather than collapsing.
Plus, data from China show growth slowed across the board in April, indicating that booming exports are no longer offsetting deteriorating domestic consumption in the world's second-largest economy. Fixed-asset investment unexpectedly shrank, retail sales missed forecasts and industrial production grew at its weakest in almost three years.
Today's guests: Seema Shah, Principal Asset Management, Chief Global Strategist; Roland Lescure, French Finance Minister.
