Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.

On today’s show, the Bank of Japan has held its benchmark interest rate, but the shock split vote raises the chance of a hike in June. Three policymakers voted to raise rates, as risks mount from the war in Iran and surging energy prices. The Bank also raised its core inflation forecast for this fiscal year more than expected, to 2.8%.

The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says the US is being ‘humiliated’ by Iran, as President Trump struggles to negotiate an end to the war.

And UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a possible investigation into whether he misled Parliament about the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.
