Morning Exchange was a television business news programme aired on CNBC Europe from 10am to noon CET (9am to 11am GMT). The programme took its name from the previous CNBC U.S. programme Morning Exchange, which was hosted by Liz Claman, but had already been replaced by the current U.S. programme Morning Call, by the time the European version began. The show was simulcast in the United States from 4am - 5am EDT.

The European Morning Exchange was presented by Ross Westgate and Louisa Bojesen (with Guy Johnson a regular stand-in for Westgate) and contained rolling business news, focusing on the major European bourses. Segments included the Morning Meeting with an investment banker, and the 10:30am Talking Point in which several CNBC Europe business news correspondents debated an issue of the day.

Morning Exchange used the same theme music as its U.S. counterpart, Morning Call. The programme began in May 2003, and replaced the similar programme European Market Watch. It ended its run on December 16, 2005, and was replaced by Worldwide Exchange.
