Israel Says Lebanon Bombing Stopped Hezbollah Assault | Bloomberg The Pulse 08/26/24

Germany’s business outlook held at its lowest level since February. The Ifo institute’s expectations gauge dipped to 86.8 in August from a revised 87 the previous month, beating the 85.8 seen by analysts in a Bloomberg poll. A barometer of current conditions also declined. In geopolitics, tensions in the Middle East deescalated on Monday after 100 Israeli warplanes swooped over southern Lebanon over the weekend, taking out thousands of Hezbollah missile launchers in what was called a preemptive strike.

Today's guests: Clemens Fuest, IFO Institute President; Sonja Marten, DZ Bank
