Authorities are also worried that non traditional 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.000 targets may be in hackers sites. Stay with Bloomberg Radio. 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.800 We will continue to provide updates on this developing story 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:08.520 throughout the day. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.319 And Nathan We have breaking news in politics this morning. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.920 Former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama have 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.160 offered their full support to Kamala Harris in the twenty 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.520 twenty four presidential race and a phone call release this morning. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.560 This is going to be historic. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.000 We call to say, Michelle and I couldn't be prouder 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.280 to endorse you and to do everything we can to 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.000 get you through this election and into the old loss. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.319 Oh my goodness, Michelle Bractice means so. 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.240 Much, the trio speaking a phone call and a newly 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.920 released video. The official nomination will be made at the 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.640 party's convention next month. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:44.880 Well. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.160 Meanwhile, Karen Vice President Harris is taking a firm stance 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.880 when it comes to the war between Israel and Hamas. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.760 After meeting with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netan, Yahoo, Harris 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.960 said she pressed the Israeli leader to get a ceasefire 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.280 deal done. Bloomberg's Ed has that story. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.760 Haarra says she made very clear her serious concern about 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.040 the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.119 We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.440 We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:15.639 and I. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.760 Will not be silent having said that. I've said it. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.440 Many times, but it bears repeating. Israel has a right 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.799 to defend itself and how it. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.840 Does so matters. Haarra says what has happened in Gaza 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:33.400 in the past nine months is devastating. Ed Baxter Bloomberg. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.200 Radio, all right and thank you all. President Biden also 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.320 met with Israel's Prime minister, as leaders say they're in 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880 the final stages of closing a deal to pause the 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.040 fighting and release hostages, and Bloomberg's Amy Morris has the 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.359 details from Washington. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.880 Family members of more than one hundred Israeli hostages being 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.200 held by Hamas met with Biden and Natanyahu at the 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.960 White House. Jonathan Dekelchen, whose American son is being held, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.440 said they came away from the meeting with a sense 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:01.320 of optimism. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.800 There is more reason today than in any time since 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:10.280 the last round of hostage releases that there is a 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.440 place now to complete this three phase deal. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.320 White House officials say those negotiations are now in the 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.200 closing stages, but there are still some issues that need 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.519 to be resolved. In Washington. Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.720 Okay me, thank you and after his time in DC 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.000 this week. Prime Minister Natanya who heads to Florida today 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.760 where he'll meet with former President Donald Trump at his 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.200 home in mar Lago. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:31.600 Now. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.680 Trump and Netanyah, who enjoyed a close relationship while the 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.520 former president was in office, but they split after Nettunyaho 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.880 recognized President Biden's twenty twenty election victory. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.880 And with the election fast approaching, Nathan A presidential debate 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.760 is still on the schedule for September tenth, but Donald 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.640 Trump is not committing to it just yet. The Trump 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.040 campaign said it would be inappropriate to commit until Democrats 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.560 formally nominate a new candidate. Trump also says he wants 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.040 an organization other than ABC News to moderate it. Vice 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.080 President Harris says she's ready to debate and says Trump 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.000 is backpedaling. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.520 Now, let's turn back to the markets, Karen. The Fed's 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.200 key inflation gauge core PCE comes out at eight thirty 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.000 this morning. Wall Street time It could spell the path 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.200 four rate cuts this year. Bloomberg's Michael McKee has a preview. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.960 There's a possibility of an upside surprise today. The inflation 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.520 numbers in yesterday's GDP report were good, with headline and 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.560 core PCE falling below three percent. Those are quarterly averages. However, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.800 today's monthly number for June will matter more to the 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.360 Fed in terms of the current trajectory for prices. Chairman 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.880 j Powell has said the central Bank won't wait to 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:44.080 cut rates until inflation reaches the two percent target. GDP 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.360 also suggested upside possibilities for consumers spending. In today's report. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.560 For the quarter, spending was up more than expected two 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.719 point three percent. If much of that strength came in June, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.680 it would reassure Fed officials they are not behind the 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.920 curve on growth. Michael McKee Bloomberg. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.040 All right, Mike, thanks, and as traders see signs of 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.799 a resilient US economy, calls for a July rate cutter growing. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.560 Former New York Fed President Bill Dudley tells Bloomberg policy 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.800 makers should reduce rates next week. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.960 The Fed doesn't cut in July and waste of September. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.640 It's not going to have a huge effect on the commentstratrector, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.560 except the fact that when the unemployerent rates start to deteriorate, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.599 it seems to be a reinforcing negative feedback loop. Jobs 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.279 are lost, people pull back on spending that leads to 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.000 further cuts in employment. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.200 Bill Dudley's comments were echoed by fellow Bloomberg opinion columnist 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.719 Muhammad Alarian. He says delaying cuts could prove to be 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.520 a policy mistake, but yesterday's better than expected GDP figure 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.000 did reinforce bets the Fed likely won't cut until September. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.320 Karen wall Street's split has widened as smaller stocks rise 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.560 and big tech gives back more of its huge gains. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.200 More in this report from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.160 And Nathan continued weakness for a pocket of big tech stocks, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.440 including Nvidia and Microsoft weight on the SMP five five hundred. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.440 Yesterday it closed lower by half a percent, The tech 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.560 heavy Nastak that gave up another nine tenths of a percent, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.480 and that rotation of the smaller caps continued, with the 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.840 Russell two thousand climbing.

The trade deadline is next Tuesday. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.199 Tampa Bay just dealt outfielder Randia Rose Arena to Seattle 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.559 in Paris today and Olympic opening ceremonies unlike one anyone 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.679 has seen before. They're not using the stadium. The athletes 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.000 will be parading while traveling on dozens of boats three 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.640 point seven miles along the Center River. The procession should 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.040 take about four hours. Wind up near the Eiffel Tower 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.839 three hundred thousand people expected to attend. John stashle that 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.400 we're Bloomberg Sports Karen. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:08.880 Nathan Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Syrius XM, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.920 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.240 Bloomberg Business app. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.200 This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. The 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.840 opening ceremonies of the twenty twenty four Paris Summer Olympic 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.040 Games are just hours away. But this morning a massive 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:28.680 act of sabotage across the French rail network is threatening 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.720 to spoil the party joining us from Paris this morning. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:36.480 Is Bloomberg's Caroline Conna. Caroline, good morning. What is the latest? 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.600 What has been happening on the rail line. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.640 So you know, the SMSLF is a national fast trained 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.640 TGV trainagework, so they won this morning with a massive 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:51.160 attack overnight on three of the main TGV lines going 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.439 towards the west of Fanti Atlantic Coast, the north of 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.760 France towards London and the Eurosaw and the east of 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.400 going towards Belgium and Journey. Those TGV lines have been 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:10.640 affected by what they call coordinated sabotage, with some fires 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.000 on some of the rails. As a results, as many 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.040 as eight hundred thousand people are being trended, and in 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.920 fact some of these ruptions could last all weekends, so 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.800 it is possible that many people coming from those regions 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.120 would actually not be able to make it tonight for 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.240 the opening ceremony of the Games. The smt of President 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.440 saying this morning it's attacking a part of font the 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.520 uralsar as I mentioned to London and would also be 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.280 partly impacted. I was talking to various CEOs this morning 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.360 here in Paris, including a court dan On. They were 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.199 both saying that it is very sad to see that 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.600 some people are trying to take the Olympics hostage, but 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.360 they are still hoping that it will not ruin the 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:58.080 party tonight. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.760 Do we have any idea point who these people are 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.480 who may be behind this attack and what their motivation 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:06.040 might be. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.160 It is actually very hard to tell at the moment 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.480 because there's an investigation going on. But what we know 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.439 is that from Lutigia newspaper, one of the pension newspapers 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.440 the time for example, it could come from Ultas Gush, 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:25.080 which is very far left activists in France who are 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.680 complaining about the presence of the games, the fact that 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.760 the French authorities have accepted hosting the games, and they 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.840 were already warning before the games about trying to disrupt 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.440 some people to avoid making Paris what they call a 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:46.160 tourist attraction. We also know that the southeast of front, 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.640 going towards the French Riviera, the line was also targeted, 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:56.760 but the senc of agents have managed to actually prevent 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.720 the fire and prevent those activists from such The rails 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.560 through this line at the moment is not affected. But 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.800 obviously we should know more when the investigation is taking pace. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.520 Just quickly, Caroline, we already know security is very tight 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.920 in Paris. Does this point to vulnerabilities and potentially further 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.200 complications as the games get underway? 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.080 I mean, obviously a lot has been put in place 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.880 by the entire ministry. As many as sixty five thousand 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.400 security forces are being deployed during the game, forty five 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.080 thousand just to night for the opening ceremony in Paris. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.320 You're going to have some police divers in the sent 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.080 for example, checking all the boats, where as many as 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.520 six thousand assets are going to sail down the river 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:49.080 during this Olympic ceremony. So obviously, you know, it's obviously 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.960 very hard to avoid everything, but a lot has been 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.240 put in place. There's a lot of restrictions going to 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.800 the center of either a ticket being accredited, they're done. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.080 Some scan checks in fact prevented thousands of people from 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.400 having some accutitation of from being able to access certain 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:13.640 zones of Paris. But obviously some of these actions can 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.000 always happen despite that very high security measures that I've 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.680 been put in tay. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.960 This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.560 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.600 Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.360 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:32.640 get your podcasts. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.400 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.040 am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.920 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.920 Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.680 ninety sixty in San Francisco. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.200 Our flagship New York station is also available on your 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.360 Amazon Alexa devices.
