Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.000 Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:15.480 following today, Karen. 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.680 Earnings and the FED are clearly in focus for investors 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.280 this week. Tomorrow we get highly anticipated results from AI 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.960 Chips stalwart Nvidia. Inflation figures at the end of the 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.000 week will likely reinforce that long awaited rate cuts are 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.280 coming soon. In fact, in an interview with Bloomberg's Michael McKee, 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.839 San Francisco FED President Mary Daily agreed with FED chair 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.440 Jay Powell's view it's time to cut rates. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.960 Well, to my mind, we've been on this path of 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.040 ready to adjust policy rates for several months. We just 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.400 needed to get a little more confidence and inflation was 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.360 truly on its path to two percent, and I wanted 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.280 to see the labor market come into balance. But I 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.120 think that's completely happened and the risk to our goals 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.800 are now balanced in the time to adjust policy is 0:00:59.040 --> 0:00:59.560 upon us. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.920 Francisco FRED President Mary Daily says she and her colleagues 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.039 will seek to prevent restrictive policy from harming the labor market. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.040 Well, Nathan, as we await those earnings from Nvidia, tomorrow. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.000 Another one of the so called Magnificent Seven is making 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.039 news this morning. Shares of Apple down about a quarter 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.160 percent in early trading. It's longtime chief financial officer is 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.080 stepping down at the end of the year. Luka Maistrie 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.199 will hand his role to top deputy Kevin Perek after 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.039 more than a decade. The company has described the move 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.280 as a planned transition, with Mystree remaining at the firm 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.959 and a reduced role overseeing information technology and real estate functions. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.440 Well, Karen, the saga over Paramount Global and its new 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.640 ownership is taking a new twist this morning. Let's get 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.800 the details from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.720 In New York, producer David Ellison, Skydance Media is set 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.760 to become the new owner of Paramount Global. This comes 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.840 after Sigrameir Edgar Bronfman Junior dropped out late last night. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.240 The Hollywood Studio says it expects to complete the deal 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.160 with sky Dance in the first half of twenty twenty five. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.440 David Ellison is the son of Oracle co founder Larry Ellison. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.080 He is aiming to provide a fresh start for the 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.919 parent of CBS and MTV, laden with more than fourteen 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.919 billion dollars in debt. Paramount has struggled to compete in streaming. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.600 It has also suffered as cable TV audiences canceled their 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:27.160 subscriptions and abandoned traditional channels like CBS and Nickelodeon. It's 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.959 reducing its US workforce by fifteen percent. Its shut down 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.680 Paramount television studios this month in New York Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.680 Radio, all right, Jeff, thank you all. In Europe shares 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.680 a BHP at almost one and a half percent. The 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.639 world's biggest mining company posted profit that beat analyst estimates. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.240 Revenue from iron ore and copper increase despite a deteriorating 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.240 Shinese demand outlook. We spoke with CEO Mike Henry. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.320 In China a bit of a mixed picture. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.000 We're seeing strong growth in a number of segments that 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.600 are are portant for commodity demand in China, and that 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.799 includes automobiles, machinery, infrastructure, shipbuilding, but the property sector itself, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.080 which makes up about twenty percent of steel demand, that is, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.440 it's been weak for some time. We've seen lower or 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.360 fairly low levels of both sales and news starts. But 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.359 the Chinese government is enacting policies that are intended to. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.400 Address that, and BHP boss Mike Henry says he still 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.840 expects China to hit its five percent growth target this year. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.760 Look hearing that news from BHP comes as the firm 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.200 behind the Chinese Online Marketplace team, who suffered a fifty 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.680 five billion dollar stock route as economic headwinds take a 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.160 toll on China's retailers. In the latest warning on the 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.840 health of the Chinese economy, the CEO of PDD Holdings 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.640 Chen Lay, said revenue and profits must inevitably decline. Reacting 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.440 to the news, shares in the e commerce firm plunged 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.200 by twenty nine percent yesterday, in their biggest fall on record, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:56.200 Well Nathan. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.000 The White House is keeping the US China relationship in 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.320 Focustional Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has arrived in Beijing for 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.960 a three day visit, his first at China. He plans 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.880 to meet with Foreign Minister Wangyee and raised concerns over 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.200 China's support for Russia and the Ukraine War. He also 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.480 plans to restate US positions on Taiwan and the South 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.919 China Sea. China is likely to bring up Taiwan as well. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.640 Along with US tariffs and efforts to cut China off 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.000 from advanced technology. 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.440 As far as the presidential race goes karent, we're getting 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.080 more insights into Vice President Harris's economic vision from her husband. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.400 Second Gentleman Doug M. Hoff, spoke at a fundraiser in Sagharbor, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.719 New York last night. He called his wife a pro 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.799 growth capitalist who wants a forward looking economy that helps everyone. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.520 Am Hoff pointed to his own career as a business lawyer, 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.480 saying she understood exactly what he was doing with his clients. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.040 Harris has rolled out an economic platform that includes expanded 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.080 child tax credits and twenty five thousand dollars for first 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.839 time home buyers. She has been criticized for not being 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.120 as specific as past presidential campaigns. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.640 Well Nathan A US appeals court is being asked to 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.560 reinstate the classified A documents case against former President Donald 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.039 Trump and Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons has the latest. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.240 Special counsel, Jack Smith, is appealing to Florida judge's decision 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.680 to toss out the criminal case charging the former president 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.920 with mishandling classified documents. Judge Aleen Cannon dismissed the case 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.560 last month, saying the appointment of Smith as Special Council 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.520 was unconstitutional. Smith, in his appeal to the Eleventh US 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.080 Circuit Court of Appeals, says Cannon's decision is at odds 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.320 with long standing appointment practices in the Department of Justice 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.479 as well as across the government. Donald Trump's team is 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.800 due to respond to the government's brief in a month. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.440 Then the government will have another three weeks to reply. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.800 In Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio, all. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.120 Right, Nancy, thank you.

SpaceX has scrubbed this morning's 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.760 schedule lift off of Polaris Don with four private astronauts 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.800 on board, due to a roundside helium leake. One of 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.400 those four astronauts is billionaire Jared Isaacman, who's flown with 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.080 SpaceX before and provided the funds for this mission. Isaacman 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.680 and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis are planning to step outside 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.880 the spacecraft on the third day of the flight and 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.360 both perform a spacewalk.

Both expect that the crude market will 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.320 be in surplus, with prices trending lower over the twelve months. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.560 And checking oil right now, West Texas Intermediate is down 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.240 six ten sive percent at seventy six dollars ninety three 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:53.440 cents a barrel.

We now bring you part of their discussion. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.240 We've been on this path of ready to adjust policy 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.040 rates for several months. We just needed to get a 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.199 little more confidence and inflation was truly on its path 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.480 to two percent, and I wanted to see the labor 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.200 market come into balance. But I think that's completely happened 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.520 and the risk to our goals are now balanced in 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.000 the time to adjust policy is upon us. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.800 Is there anything that could derail in September, So. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.240 In my mind that would be hard to imagine. At 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:09.040 this point, I do see that adjusting policy is appropriate. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.760 We don't want to get ourselves into a situation where 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.960 we're keeping policy highly restrictive into a slowing economy. And remember, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.640 every time inflation comes down, the policy gets more restrictive. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.360 And I think that's a recipe, if you will, for 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.280 overtightening and injuring the labor marketing growth. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.000 Well, the Chairman and basically the Open Market Committee said 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.800 coming out of the meeting that the downside risks are 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.640 greater to unemployment than to inflation. How big are the 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.160 downside risks to employment right now? 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.439 So we definitely have to keep that in mind, because, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.080 as you know, the labor market, when it starts to adjust, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.720 often has adjusted abruptly and significantly. But right now we 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.400 don't see any signs of that. You look at initial 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.800 claims for unemployment insurance, you look at early indications of layoffs. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.000 They're just not present, and so that's not giving us 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.840 any signs that there's a deterioration. Importantly, as you know, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.240 the Reserve Bank presidents spend a considerable amount of time 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.360 talking to contacts, businesses, workers. We're really not hearing signs 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.520 that firms are poised for layoffs. What they are doing 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.000 is managing headcount, making sure that they really want to 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.560 refill a job before they do it. But at this point, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.480 I don't see any morning signs of weakness. But we 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.240 want to make sure that we are adjusting policy as 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.280 we go so that it's ready for the economy we 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.160 have and for the economy we're likely to get, and 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.640 ensure that we don't end up in that situation where 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:34.680 we see real weakness. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.400 All right, let's talk about tactics. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.079 Markets are now pricing one hundred basis points it cuts 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.480 by the end of the year, but there are only 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.839 three meetings left, which would imply at least one to 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.840 fifty basis point cut. Do you think the markets are 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.840 wrong or is a good possibility we see a fifty somewhere. 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:49.600 Well, I think. 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.680 Everyone's looking at the economic projections and then making a decision. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.280 For me, what I'm going to be doing is looking 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.000 at the incoming information. As you said, we have another CPI, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.360 another labor market report discussed with my colleagues, talk to 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.240 our contacts and fashion the policy that's right for the 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.120 economy that we see. So it's too early to know 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.200 exactly what the tactics will be. We do know one thing, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:14.320 the direction of changes down, and we need to do 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.079 it in a way that is responsive to the economy 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.760 and not let the economy get in a position of weakness. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.040 Well, let me quote the FED back to you. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.400 If the economy evolves as we expect, as you always say, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.000 would that imply a twenty five basis point cut in 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.240 September versus fifty. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.360 So I think of it as his scenarios, if I 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.320 may so, the scenario that is my most likely outcome, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.720 and what I see in the data and the projections 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.560 is that we continue to get gradual slowing in inflation, 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.200 and we continue to get that study sustainable pace of 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.960 growth in the labor market. If those things happen, then 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:54.120 adjusting policy at the regular normal cadence seems reasonable. But 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.800 if we see a further deterioration or we haven't seen 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.160 any deterioration yet in the labor market, if we should 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.800 see deterioration or any signs of weakness, then being more 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.280 aggressive to ensure that we don't see that it would 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.600 be appropriate. So I think it's too early to know, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.600 and I don't want to make a declaration when none 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.480 is necessary. The direction of changes down and the time 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:16.640 to adjust is now. In my opinion, some. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.160 Of your colleagues at the regional banks told me in 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.560 Jackson Hole that they want to see a methodical, step 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.160 by step process and that companies want to see that 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.640 as well. What markets are reading into a little bit 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.880 of what Jay Pile said when he did not or 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.960 did not say because he didn't use the word patient, 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.840 do you think that there is a sort of bias 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.320 to maybe do more if the labor market is a 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.320 little bit weaker than anticipated. 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.720 Well, let me speak about myself. And I see further 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.400 signs that the economy or the labor market is slowing, 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.240 is unwelcomed, and I do not want to see that. 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.240 That's a that's not what we're looking for. We're looking for, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.440 and the Chair said this in this speech. We're looking 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.720 for inflation to come down, can be sustainably down to 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.280 two percent, and for the labor market to stay right 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.360 about where it is. We don't want to see additional 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.760 weakness because that's actually what we're trying to prevent. Ultimately, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.680 have two goals, christability, full employment. We're trying to get 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.680 those two goals to simultaneously exist, and adjusting the policy 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.400 rate to ensure that happens is what we will need 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:19.640 to do. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.200 This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.800 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.840 Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.600 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:34.840 get your podcasts. 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.640 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.360 am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.160 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington. 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.160 Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston and Bloomberg 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.920 ninety sixty in San Francisco. 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.440 Our flagship New York station is also available on your 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.960 Amazon Alexa devices.
