  • Euro-area manufacturers saw order growth slow to the weakest pace in two years after renewed concerns over trade prospects hit confidence
  • Turkey’s central bank signaled higher interest rates are in the offing after inflation rose more than forecast in August and producer prices surged
  • The Brexit vote has already cost Britain more than 2 percent of economic output, even before the nation formally exits the European Union, according to analysis by UBS Group AG
    • That came the same day as a report showing U.K. manufacturing growth unexpectedly slowed to the weakest in two years last month as export orders contracted amid a weakening of the global economy

    • Meanwhile, the nation could find itself excluded from the heart of euro-area monetary policy once European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s eight-year term ends in October 2019
  • India’s world-beating economic growth is running up against some big risks: high oil prices, emerging market stress and policy paralysis
