  • Hold the phone. South Africa says its rand plunge Monday is but a blip, with Turkey to blame, and that inflation is still the focus
  • Hitting the brakes. China’s growth momentum took a pause amid trade-war jitters and its own campaign to reign in debt, and Bloomberg Economics sees more policy support after the sour data
  • Downgrade. The Congressional Budget Office cut its U.S. growth forecast on the trade tensions
