Hot on the Terminal: No Relief in Sight for Emerging Markets as Rand Leads Sell-Off

Trump’s Nervous Breakdown: A new book by Bob Woodward, Fear, is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses, meeting notes, personal diaries and government documents covering Trump’s administration and the inner workings of a disconnected administration. The book, out Tuesday, re-creates — verbatim — page after page of private conversations with him. The 420-page portrait is all the more damaging because many of the scenes concern foreign policy and national security — truly heavy stuff. (Axios)

Ahead of publication Woodward spoke with Trump, who previously was blocked by aides from speaking to Woodward about the book. Read the transcript. (Washington Post)
