Watch this video on YouTube ↗
Microsoft is struggling to restore access to its flagship software half a day after an outage began, leaving users unable to access email and chat services in one of the tech giant’s most severe disruptions in recent memory.

US stock futures edged lower ahead of inflation data that will cap a dramatic week of mounting bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes and the ouster of Jensen Huang at Nvidia.

The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Tom Mackenzie.
