10:40 AM France Becomes Europe’s New Bond-Market Worry

France is increasingly replacing Italy as the biggest concern for European bond investors, as high deficits, political uncertainty, and next year’s presidential election weigh on confidence. Yields on France’s 10-year government bonds were above Italy’s for most of the summer - a striking reversal of the usual pattern. While Italy has sharply reduced its deficit and stabilized its public finances, France’s budget gap has widened to more than 5 percent of GDP, forcing investors to rethink the relative risks.

09:00 AM Harvard Considered a European Campus After Trump’s Visa Threats

Harvard Business School held talks last year about potentially setting up an MBA location in Europe or Canada after the Trump administration moved to make it harder for international students to get visas.

03:19 AM After Orbán’s departure, Hungary’s government calls Russia a threat

After the end of the Orbán government, Budapest now explicitly describes Russia’s actions as a threat to Hungary, Europe and peace. A comparison of political guidelines from the past five years shows just how sharply the tone toward Moscow has changed.

Since candidates must live in the state at the time of the election, another lawsuit is considered likely.
