Despite what some Americans may think, the United States isn't necessarily at the centre of the financial world. What happens elsewhere, notably Europe, affects the markets in the US. On `The Pulse', hosts Francine Lacqua and Guy Johnson analyse developing stories that are happening around Europe. The early-morning show also previews stories that are likely to make headlines in the States later in the day. Guests join the conversation to give their thoughts on worldwide business happenings.
