乌克兰总统泽连斯基：俄罗斯总统普京寻求尽可能升级局势。

RSM economist Thomas Pugh says the UK economy likely contracted 0.1% in August as some of June–July’s strong momentum faded. He says the economy has averaged about 0.5% growth per quarter year‑to‑date and that Q3 is still expected to expand roughly 0.4–0.5%. Industrial output was likely flat in August while construction and services output fell; AI adoption could boost IT and other key sectors. Pugh warns that rising inflation, higher interest rates and a weakening labour market could prompt a pronounced slowdown in Q4 and into 2027, leaving firms to contend with weaker demand.

Bank of England MPC member Greene said he hates the argument that higher bond yields can do the Bank's job for policymakers and that policymakers need to take action.
