The last time the U.S. posted 3% growth for a full year was in 2005.
EU: Italy’s Debt Crisis--the European Union rejects Italy's budget--Italy has three weeks to revise its budget under the EU’s rules (Editor's note: don't hold your breath.)
China: policymakers in China have been left searching for answers to the trade war with the US because the domestic think tanks called on for guidance have provided “filtered information” to avoid offending supervisors--scmp.com.
Brexit: Lloyd's (lloyds.com) Chairman: "Our customers will be unaffected by Brexit."--CNBC.com video.
