European traders who went to bed thinking a quarter-point Fed rate cut was a lock for next week may well have had a rude awakening on this Friday the 13th, with the odds for a super-sized half-point reduction back at nearly a coin toss. It started with separate reports in the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal that both said the Sept. 18 decision remained "a close call". Then former New York Fed President Bill Dudley, who remains highly influential, said at an event in Singapore that there's "a strong case" for a 50 bps reduction.
Unauthorized migration to European Union countries dropped significantly overall in the first eight months of this year, even as political rhetoric and violence against migrants increased and far-right parties espousing anti-immigration policies made gains at the polls. There was, however, a spike in migrant arrivals to the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago close to the African coast that is increasingly used as an alternate stepping stone to continental Europe. Irregular migration dominated the European parliamentary elections in June and influenced recent state elections in eastern Germany, where a far-right party won for the first time since World War II. The German government this week announced it was expanding border controls around its territory following recent extremist attacks.

STORY: US Republican nominee Donald Trump said he would not take part in another debate with Kamala Harris before the November 5 election, with polls showing Harris had won Tuesday's ABC News Presidential Debate.He made that remark on his Truth Social site - and again at a campaign stop in Arizona:Trump: "So because we've done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate.""As everyone saw two nights ago, we had a monumental victory over Comrade Kamala Harris in the presidential debate."Six Republican donors and three Trump advisers who spoke to Reuters disagreed.They said they believed Harris had won because the former president struggled to stay on message.Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent Trump ally, publicly told reporters it was a "missed opportunity."At a rally soon after Trump's post went live Harris said the candidates had a responsibility for a second face-off:Harris: "I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate. Because this election and what is at stake could not be more important.”According to Nielsen data, an estimated 67 million people watched the debate.A majority of debate watchers said Harris outperformed Trump, according to a CNN flash poll released shortly afterward.And, among voters who said they had heard at least something about Tuesday's debate, 53% said Harris won, while 24% said Trump won, according to a Thursday Reuters/Ipsos poll.However the poll found voters continue to favor Trump over Harris on the economy.Clifford Young, Ipsos president of U.S. public affairs, says he thinks there may not be much of a 'debate bump' for Harris.Young: "What we're finding right now is a lot of stability, right? We find at the national level that Harris is in the lead relative to Trump. But on those key fundamentals issues like the economy and inflation, Trump ultimately has the lead. At this point, we're at a stasis moment where at the national level, she's in the lead. But things have not really changed all that much."The poll also found that 54% of registered voters thought one debate between Trump and Harris was enough, while 46% wanted a second.
