Iran War: Trump Signals No Truce Extension & New Apple CEO | Daybreak Europe 4/21/2026
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, Apple has picked John Ternus to be its new CEO. Tim Cook is stepping down after 15 years, during which time he’s turned the company into a $4 trillion business. Ternus, who’s currently head of hardware, will take the helm on September 1. He’s described as ‘Tim Jr.’ in style and is seen as a continuity appointment.
Oil slips and the global stock rally resumes on optimism that the US and Iran will meet for a second round of talks. US Vice President JD Vance is expected to head to Pakistan for the negotiations, but Iran is yet to confirm whether it will take part. President Trump tells Bloomberg the current ceasefire is unlikely to be extended when it expires this week.
And the US President’s nominee to become the next chair of the Federal Reserve is expected to promise to protect Fed independence in his confirmation hearing. Kevin Warsh is due to testify before the Senate Banking Committee. Bloomberg has seen a copy of the remarks he’s preparing to make.
Today’s guest: Tobias Meyer, DHL Group CEO
