Trump Defends Tariff Plan, LVMH Plunges as China Spending Slump Worsens | The Opening Trade 10/16

From Bloomberg Markets and Finance.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defended his plans to overhaul the US economy through dramatic tariff increases and more direct consultation with the Federal Reserve.  LVMH shares plunged after sales of fashion and leather goods fell for the first time since the pandemic, showing the scale of the slump in the demand from the Chinese consumer. UK inflation slipped below the Bank of England’s 2% target for the first time in over 3 years, setting the stage for a second interest-rate cut next month. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Lizzy Burden and Kriti Gupta.
