  • Summary

  • The UK plans to introduce a lighter regulatory regime for private equity and hedge funds, and Italy may block an EU plan to respond to US President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Plus, popular ‘private browsing’ apps hosted by Apple and Google may violate American sanctions, and the trade war has triggered the biggest sell-off in the US junk bond market since 2020.
