Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:

(1) Japanese equities powered higher, leading gains in Asia, as they retraced some of the losses sustained in Monday’s global rout that wiped out billions across markets from New York to London. US equity futures also advanced and Treasuries fell.

(2) Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said the labor market is softening and indicated the US central bank should begin cutting interest rates in coming quarters, but stopped short of concluding the labor market has begun seriously weakening.

(3) Traders are rushing to insure their portfolios against an extreme market crash, in an echo of the chaotic period at the start of the pandemic.

(4) The US and its allies worked to head off an Iranian attack on Israel and avert a wider regional war as concerns grew that a strike may come at any moment in retaliation for the killing of a top Hamas leader in Tehran.

(5) UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves declined to rule out increasing the capital gains tax after warning that difficult decisions will be taken to fill a £22 billion ($28 billion) budget black hole.
