Bloomberg Daybreak: Europe Edition

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) Biden administration officials have discussed capping sales of advanced AI chips from Nvidia Corp. and other American companies on a country-specific basis, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would limit some nations’ artificial intelligence capabilities.

(2) China has begun enforcing a long-overlooked tax on overseas investment gains by the country’s ultra-rich, according to people familiar with the matter.

(3) Prime Minister Keir Starmer used a glitzy London investment summit to proclaim growth and wealth creation the cornerstones of his government, seeking to draw a line under a rocky first three months in power that saw his negative rhetoric about the state of the public finances weigh on economic sentiment.

(4) UK wages grew at the slowest pace in more than two years over the summer, a sign of easing inflationary pressures that keeps the Bank of England on track to cut interest rates in November.
(5) Israel said it is listening to US misgivings about its planned counter-strike against Iran but will act based on its own assessments, following a report suggesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could spare Tehran’s nuclear and energy facilities from any immediate reprisal.

(5) Oil fell for a third session after a report that Israel may avoid targeting Iran’s crude infrastructure eased concerns over a major supply disruption.
(6) After JPMorgan & Wells Fargo positively surprised investors last week with unexpected gains in net interest income and investment bank fees, attention shifts to Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Citigroup, followed by Morgan Stanley a day later.
