- The car industry is steering the German economy again, but the strength of the rebound -- and the year-end economic revival that hinges on it -- is in doubt as carmakers feel the pain of trade tensions and China’s slowdown.
- The European Central Bank could be forced to delay the start of interest-rate increases if the current slowdown in euro-area growth proves worse than anticipated, according to Goldman Sachs.
- A post-Brexit transition period is the most important part of negotiations for the Bank of England’s outlook, according to Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent.
- Italian industrial output fell less than expected in September, though the decrease will weaken the government’s budget arguments with a skeptical European Union.
