US President Donald Trump says it’s "looking very good" for a permanent ceasefire with Iran but sources tell Bloomberg some Gulf and European leaders expect it will take about six months to agree a peace deal.

Netflix has disappointed investors with second quarter guidance that fell short of expectations. The streaming giant has also announced that Chairman and co-founder Reed Hastings is stepping down after 29 years.

And there’s renewed pressure on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign after new details emerged about the vetting process for Peter Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the US.

Today’s guests: Vasiliki Pachatouridi, BlackRock, iShares Fixed Income Product Strategy EMEA Head; Alicia García-Herrero, Natixis, Chief APAC Economist; Libby Cantrill, PIMCO, Head of Public Policy.
