1. Pentagon Confirms U.S. Troop Withdrawal From Iraq Is Complete
-- The Pentagon said U.S. troops have completed their withdrawal from Iraq, Al Jazeera reported, following the departure from remaining bases reported earlier Wednesday.
-- Iraqi forces will carry more responsibility for containing ISIL, while any U.S. military response inside Iraq will require coordination without those bases.
2. ECB Policymaker Urges Early Action Against Energy Inflation
-- ECB executive board member Isabel Schnabel called for pre-emptive action as higher energy prices fed faster-than-expected inflation in the eurozone's largest economies, the Financial Times reported.
-- Acting through interest rates before price increases spread further would raise borrowing costs for households and firms already absorbing the energy shock.
