Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we'll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins. On today's show, stocks in Asia headed for their biggest quarterly jump since 2009, as investors piled back into companies seen as beneficiaries of the AI buildout. Elsewhere, the yen extended its recent losses to weaken beyond 162 per dollar — a milestone that will generate unease in Japan and put traders on alert for intervention.

A top Iranian official says Iran is determined to maintain control over maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, raising the stakes ahead of talks, which the US says will take place in Doha on Tuesday. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says there are no plans for Iranian officials to meet US delegates in Qatar. And the ECB President Christine Lagarde has lauded Europe's resilience to economic shocks in her opening speech at the ECB's annual forum in Sintra, Portugal.
