Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from Brussels, 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, attacks over the weekend in Saudi Arabia in which 13 people were killed risk widening the conflict in the Middle East. An American was among those killed on Saturday, raising pressure for US President Donald Trump to act.

Oil extended losses as traders assessed President Trump’s announcement of an ‘energy ceasefire’ between Russia and Ukraine.

And the EU has announced a cap of 350,000 on imports of Chinese hybrid cars following talks between trade chief Maroš Šefčovič and Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
