- Andy Haldane has spent 30 years working at the Bank of England, yet he may boast the greatest outside perspective of anybody running to become its next governor
- Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to suspend parliament raising the risk of a no-deal Brexit
- German output will probably shrink by 0.2% in the third quarter, putting Europe's largest economy into recession, according to the DIW economic institute
- French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed Bank of France Deputy Governor Sylvie Goulard as the country's candidate for the post of EU commissioner
- Iceland cut rates for a third time, while Israel is predicted to hold
- The dollar has been ascendant in 2019 and forecasts for a U.S. recession are growing louder. If the greenback's strength keeps up and the economy does shrink, that could make it harder to recover
