Description

U.S. markets are on tenterhooks with all eyes on the Federal Reserve, as investors wait to see whether Fed Chair Jerome Powell will react to rising bond yields and increasing inflation speculation at the close of the two day FOMC meetings today. Back on the continent, it's the third and final day of voting in an election that could see Prime Minister Mark Rutte win a fourth consecutive term - having resigned in January over a child benefits scandal. The country’s relationship with the EU has been among the central issues for voters. Meanwhile, the European Union's medicines agency attempts to reassure the public over the safety of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, after some member states paused its rollout with concerns over possible side effects. And a landmark moment for the gig economy as Uber's more than 70-thousand U.K. drivers get workers' rights from today -- earning the national living wage, and benefits like holiday and sick pay, after a ruling by the Supreme Court last month.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
