Standard Chartered Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters delivered a blunt message on the future of the bank’s workforce, warning that a push into artificial intelligence will eliminate thousands of roles as the lender replaces “lower-value human capital” with technology. US stock futures held steady after a two-day pullback while oil fell modestly as traders awaited signs of progress toward a peace deal in the Middle East. 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.
