Trump Delays Tariffs on Autos; Germany Sends Bonds Spiraling

Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition

On today's podcast:

1) President Trump hits reverse on auto tariffs for Canada and Mexico for now. The Trump administration is exempting automakers from newly imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada for one month, following pleas from industry leaders. The exemption applies to auto parts that comply with the USMCA trade pact. It comes as the president's set to meet with US tech leaders Thursday, whose companies also face the possibility of import tariffs and stricter export rules.

2) European leaders gather for an emergency summit on military defense. European leaders meet in Brussels for emergency talks on Ukraine and defense spending. They are discussing an EU proposal to unlock as much as €800 billion of funds across the bloc. Germany will seek a constitutional amendment to exempt defense from its budget limit.

3) A global bond selloff continues following Germany's historic spending plans. A global bond selloff continued due to Germany's spending plans, which are expected to reshape growth outlook on the continent. Investors are reacting to Germany's move to unlock hundreds of billions of euros for defense and infrastructure investments, which is expected to boost its economy and spill over to neighboring countries.

Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.440 Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.160 are the stories we're following today. 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.480 Karen, we begin with the latest in the US trade 0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.480 war with Canada and Mexico. Automakers are getting a reprieve. 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.960 President Trump is giving a one month exemption from twenty 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.639 five percent tariffs to Ford, General Motors and Stillantis, but 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.319 White House Press Secretary Caroline Levit says the rest of 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:32.559 the world still nice. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.640 Reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on April second, 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.680 but at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.640 the President is giving them an exemption for one month 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.960 so they are not at an economic disadvantage. 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.479 White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt and Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines reports 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.320 the automaker CEOs brought their concerns directly to the White House. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.960 The concern here, of course, is that the auto sector 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.040 is very vulnerable in a scenario in which tariffs are 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.280 on our north of and trading partners. According to Bloomberg Economics, 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.840 the US automakers, in particular for some key parts like 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.920 stink belts and airbags. For example, our reliance on the 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.480 imports of those parts, some eighty percent from Canada and 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.920 Mexico specifically, which is why you had the likes of 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.559 Jim Farley saying recently that these kind of tariffs could 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.640 potentially quote blow a hole in the industry. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.600 Bloomberg's Kaylee Lynes in Washington. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.720 And then another sign of tariff relief, Agriculture Secretary Brooke 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.759 Rawlins tells Bloomberg the administration is also considering carve outs 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.560 for some farm products from Canada and Mexico, including potash 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:33.520 and fertilizer. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.279 Well, Nathan, the president is set to meet with another 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.640 group of business leaders, and we get the details with 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.760 the Bloomberg's Lisa Matteo Lisa, good morning, Good morning Karen. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.480 And we're talking about those big tech leaders, those behind 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.280 the companies that are facing the possibility of import tariffs 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.360 stricter export rules. Sources telling Bloomberg it includes the CEOs 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.960 of HP, Intel, IBM, Qualcom. HP is actually the only 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.440 tech giant who confirmed that they will meet with the 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.840 administration on Monday to talk about trade policy US manufacturing. Now, 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.400 this all comes as President Trump has called on Congress 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.640 to get rid of the twenty twenty two Chips Act. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.000 The Administration also looking for some input on its AI 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.920 action plan, and that's to improve America's global AI dominance. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.000 Lisa Matteo, Bloomberg Radio. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.680 Lisa, thank you. 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.200 On Capitol Hill, Republican senators have told Elon Musk he 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.799 needs congressional approval for government cost cuts or they could 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.000 be overturned in court. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.440 We get the latest one that from Bloomberg's Amy Morris. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.160 In Washington, senators suggested Elon Musk send a package of 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.320 cuts to Congress for approval through a process that requires 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.120 only a simple majority in both chambers. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.040 I want to fix it. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.119 Quickly, So what he said, I want to keep the momentum. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.520 But from a political point of view, we need to 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.240 take the work product of those and put it in 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.360 a recision package. 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.799 Now, Musk met with Republican senators and is set to 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.720 meet with House Republicans, but any effort to formalize the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.320 cuts will likely come after a March fourteenth government funding 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.760 deadline in Washington. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.440 More as Bloomberg Radio. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.920 All right, Amy, thank you. Well. We turned to the 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.560 markets now in a global bond sell off is deepening 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.240 this morning, as traders gauge the impact of geopolitical volatility 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.320 on growth and inflation, we want to get the very latest, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.919 so the Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, good morning. 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.440 Yeah, and strap in, Karen. This marks what could be 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.720 a paradigm shift in the global market, and the catalyst 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.959 is what's happening in Germany right now. Berlin, they reached 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.920 agreement on a package to try and boost the Arizona's 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.240 largest economy. So that means they have to sell debt, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.919 lots of it. And as Europe has left to defend 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.600 itself with a shrinking US commitment, they have to spend 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.400 more and more on their military and as a result 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.960 they are for now abandoning fiscal constraints, and this goes 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.400 against the very fabric of the post war German psyche. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.120 The yield on the ten year German bond the Bund 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.720 higher again this morning, up seven basis points as this 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.240 bond route deepens. This follows the steepest rise in almost 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.480 thirty years now. The surprise from Germany comes as global 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.240 bond markets were already grap with signs of persistent price pressures. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.440 It's led Japan's ten year barring costs to hit a 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.400 sixteen year high. Right now in the US, the ten 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.640 year the benchmark up two basis points. That is, right 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.040 at four thirty. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.200 All right, John, thank you well. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.600 Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is warning that voladile policy 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.800 actions and rhetoric from President Trump proposing the biggest risk 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.159 to dollar dominance in the world economy in a half century. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.400 Summers spoke with Joe Matthew and Kayley Lines on Bloomberg's 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:30.200 Balance of Power. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:35.880 These tariffs are a self inflicted supply shock wound higher prices, 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.800 less competitiveness because businesses are having to pay more for 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:46.400 all their inputs, and because they have to pay higher prices, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.840 less purchasing power for consumers, which means fewer jobs. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.120 Down the road. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.480 Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers also points to the sellof 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.120 in US stocks earlier this week as an illustration of 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.880 investor concern about the direction of US policy. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.479 Well in Europe, Nathan, EU leaders are holding emergency summit 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.839 talks in Brussels to beef up their own military defenses 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.080 and make sure Ukraine will still be protected. French President 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.760 at Manumau Macron says he'll discuss using his country's nuclear 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.760 capabilities to defend the continent. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.599 Our nuclear deterrent protects US. It is complete, sovereign and 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.640 French through and through. Since nineteen sixty four, it has 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.880 explicitly played a role in preserving peace and security in Europe. 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.760 But in response to the historic appeal of the future 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.320 German Chancellor, I have decided to open the strategic debate 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.799 on the protection afforded by our deterrent to our allies 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.400 on the European continent. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.760 French President of Manuel Macron spoke through an interpreter in 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.359 a televised address to the nation and as. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.520 That summit gets under wayne Brussels, Karen, there is word 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.320 of a new air strike in Ukraine, just hours after 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.039 the US froze. Some intelligence sharing with Kiev. Ukraine says 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.200 a Russian ballistic missile killed four people and wounded dozens 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.039 more in at a hotel in the central city of 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:07.120 creevy Ria. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski says humanitarian volunteers including 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.240 citizens of Ukraine, the US and the UK had checked 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.320 into that hotel before the strike. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.080 But now we want to get the latest from the 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.200 Middle East. Nathan President Trump is repeating his warning of 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.000 hell to pay if a master does not release all 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.080 its hostages from Gaza. But while the President is posting 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.560 on social media, he sent his special hostage Envoy at 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.320 the State Department, Adam Bohler, for direct talks with the 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.159 militant group in Doha. Bloomberg's Dan Williams reports the US 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.320 has never had face to face contact till now with Hammas, 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.359 which is which is designated rather as a terrorist organization. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.080 On the one hand, perhaps he thinks this could work. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.640 Perhaps he thinks this is a creative way of getting 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.400 Hamas to deliver the hostages, of wrapping up this now 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.000 seventeen month old crisis in war. It could be a 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.599 sign of running out of options. Indeed, holding talks with 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.800 the group in a manner that other administrations may not 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.880 have done would appear on the one hand, creative paths. 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.159 On the other hand, a sign of vexation, of a 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.200 lack of ideas. And I think now we'll have to 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.640 see how Hamas response. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.720 And Bloombergy Dan Williams reporting from Jerusalem. The White House 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.240 says Israel was consulted on the talks. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:19.120 Time now for a. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.760 Look at some of the other stories making news in 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.440 New York and around the world. And for that we're 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.120 joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael good Morning. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.520 Good Morning Caeron New York City Mayor Eric Adams was 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:32.000 grilled by lawmakers on Capitol Hill on sanctuary cities. Adams 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.920 was joined by a fellow Democratic mayors from three other 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:40.240 sanctuary cities, Boston's Michelle wou Chicago's Brandon Johnson, and Denver's 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:45.120 Mike Johnston. Houseover Side Committee Chairman James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.160 says that the cities only create sanctuaries for criminals. We 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:54.600 cannot let pro criminal alien policies and obstructionist sanctuary cities 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:59.920 continue to endanger American communities. Adams also defended himself following 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.640 the dropping of his federal charges from the Trump Justice Department. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.400 I think I was extremely clear, no qui pro quo, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:08.760 no agreement. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.440 I did nothing wrong but serve the people of New 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:12.000 York City. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.960 Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac poll has found Mayor Eric adams 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.880 approval rating has dropped to an all time low.

Cuomo leads with thirty one percent, while Adams 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.320 is second with just eleven percent. There's were there could 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.040 be a new candidate running from mayor of New York City. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.679 According to several reports, New York City Council Speaker Adrian 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.199 Adams will announce her candidacy for mayor in the next 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:48.960 few days.

Lockett, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.440 who had been with the Seahawks for a decade. Another 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.240 Seattle whiteout, dk Metcalp wants to be traded. The Raiders 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.040 release quarterback Gardner Minshew and Las Vegas game Max Crosby 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.480 a huge extension. Crosby is now the highest paid non 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.400 quarterback in NFL history. 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.199 John Stashaw, We're Bloomberg Sports Kender Nathan. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.400 Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.520 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:44.720 Bloomberg Business app. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.000 This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.359 President Trump admitted his tariffs could cause a little disturbance 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.600 during his address to Congress this week, and now he 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.360 may be offering a little relief, a one month exemption 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.440 from auto tariffs for Canada and Mexico and a potential 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.080 carve out for some agriculture as well. White House Press 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.520 Secretary Caroline Levitt, though says this does not mean the 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.240 President is losing focus. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.280 The President told the truth, and he was realistic, and 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.640 he levels that with the American people, and I think, frankly, 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.000 it's very refreshing. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.199 Pre Secretary Caroline Levit speaking from the White House this morning. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.320 We were joined by Terry Haynes, the founder of Pangaeopolicy, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.360 and Terry, are these poll backs that we're starting to 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.440 see in the tariff assigned that President Trump is feeling 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:28.359 a little disturbance. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.120 Now, good morning, Good morning, Nathan. You know I'm feeling 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:37.680 refreshed as the press Secretary said no, I think you know, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.720 I think it's a mistake for markets to think that 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.960 Trump might link on tariffs. If he adjusts these things, 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.840 the pattern is going to be. You know, what we've 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.800 already seen is going to be an imposition of the 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.040 tariffs and then a fine tuning of them. That is 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.960 not That is not a signal the tariffs are going 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.680 to happen and then they're going to go away. That's 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.960 an adjustment. And I know full markets are discomfited by 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.520 that because they don't know what's coming next. And that's 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.079 fair enough. But you know that that's going to be 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.120 the policy going forward. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.439 I think, well, are you thinking, then, Terry, that there 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.360 could be adjustment to the reciprocal tariffs that the President 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.240 has talked about The Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnik is saying 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.160 are going to be taking effect April second. 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.640 I think some adjustment, Yes, the basic principle I think, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.720 I think stands. Remember that what they have the reciprocal 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.560 tariff's purpose, I think is broadly speaking, is different than 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:38.360 the individuals, let's say on Canada and Mexico. Those are 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.920 explicitly about what I call geopolitical matters. In the case 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.559 of Canada and Mexico. It's about the border. It's about drugs, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.760 fentanyl the like. The reciprocal tariffs are all about the 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:55.679 idea that other countries are tariffing us, so therefore we're 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.640 going to tariff them similarly. And and the bid, I 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.200 think is unspoken. The bid is to, you know, basically, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.880 have those tariffs go away. The idea is to produce 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.720 freeer trade in the end, which you haven't heard a 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.920 lot about yet, but I think you will. But that's 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.480 all based on explicitly on the trade policy of others. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.360 And UH and Sectuary besn't likes to call this the 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.920 next steps kind of UH data dependent, you know, dependent 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.480 on what's what those tariffs actually are. That's what the 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.320 administration is studying right now. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.120 Well, if these if this really is about immigration and 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.280 drug flows over the borders, terry, why delay these for 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.600 a month? I mean, can automakers really source more operations 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.440 in the US within a month? 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:42.320 No? 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.320 If some of this has been leaked, and some of 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.480 it some of it's been leaked, some of it's been 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:51.280 stated explicitly, particularly by Commerce Secretary Lutnik. Uh, the idea 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.400 is they're they're going to certainly understand that the automakers 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.600 have the ability or need the ability to continue to 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.120 source the way they're sourcing. So there's that there's no 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.000 illusion that the automakers are going to be able to 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:11.160 produce more domestically, but they're providing a reprieve anyway in 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:16.000 the hopes that more negotiations on the basic geopolitical issues 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.320 continue to exist. But beyond that, and the other thing 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:25.160 that's been leaked or teased is that USMCA, the deal 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.800 between the United States, Canada and Mexico, should pick up 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.640 a lot of this stuff. So what I anticipate is 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.960 that you'll probably see an early triggering of a renegotiation 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.240 more broadly on us mc A. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.080 Basis just thirty seconds left, Terry, do you think we'll 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.640 see carve outs for tech when those leaders meet at 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:45.640 the White House next week? 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.880 You know that wouldn't surprise me at all. The administration 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.440 right now, I think is somewhat underpowered when it comes 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:59.160 to having bobbins around who understand this stuff instinctively. And 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.280 you know that's the lard the largely of the byproduct 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.920 of being in the beginning of an administration. So the 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.560 tech folks are going to be able to come in 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.720 and actually make their case directly and provide a lot 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.040 of useful insight that the White House I think doesn't have. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.400 Right now, this is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.160 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.800 Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.240 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.280 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.040 am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.960 in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.960 Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:41.880 XM Channel one twenty one. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.840 Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.720 now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.960 And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
