Iran Deal Gives $300 Billion Relief; First Fed Decision for Kevin Warsh

Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.   

On today's podcast:   

1) Iran would be allowed to start oil exports immediately under an interim deal with the US and gain access to a $300 billion economic development program. The US Treasury Department will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil and petrochemical products immediately after the memorandum is signed, and the US will end its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The US and its regional partners would create a plan to rehabilitate Iran and allow for its economic development, with financing of at least $300 billion, according to the draft document.   

2) Voters headed to the polls in four states and the District of Columbia. The biggest races to watch were two runoff elections in Georgia, where President Trump's endorsement led to mixed results. In the Republican Senate race, Trump-backed Congressman Mike Collins defeated former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley by an 11 point margin - 55.5% to 44.5%. Meanwhile, in the governor's race, President Trump's favored candidate, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, lost to billionaire Rick Jackson, 52.7% to 47.4%. It was also a historic primary night in Washington DC. For the first time in 36 years, Democrats have picked a nominee for delegate to Congress who is not Eleanor Holmes Norton. Councilmember Robert White ran away with the nomination with 63.2% of the vote.   

3) Federal Reserve policymakers are expected to hold interest rates steady, posing a test for new chairman Kevin Warsh as inflation erodes households' purchasing power. Several officials have outlined scenarios that could warrant rate hikes and want to eliminate language suggesting their next move is likely to be a cut. Investors will be listening for how strongly Warsh expresses support for the central bank's commitment to returning inflation to the Fed's 2% goal.

Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
are the stories we're following today.
Here in details are still emerging as the US and
Iran prepared to formally sign their innim peace deal on Friday.
A near final draft of the Memorandum of Understanding shows
Iran is set to receive sanctions waivers that will allow
it to sell oil immediately, with other financial incentives deferred.
Bloomberg Middle East correspondent Amir abu Omar has the key
takeaways from the fourteen point draft.
First of all, an end to the war on all fronts.
The US will take back its troops from around the
region over the next thirty days and remove the naval
blockade on the Strait of Her moves. Iran has agreed
to do the same. But then, perhaps some of the
most sticking contention points in this MoU include what the
US says would be the unblocking of frozen assets for
Iran and didn't give a specified time period for that.
The lifting of the oil sanctions as well. That's another
point that the United States has made in this MoU.
Bloomberg suppier Abo Omar reporting there from Dubai. President Trump says,
there's one key takeaway from the agreement.
AARAN will never have a Nuglio wepen.
That's where it says it won't have one Dubai to develop.
They will not have a Nuclio wepment.
And I would say that's about ninety nine point nine
percent of what I wanted.
My President Trump made those comments. Has heard right here
on Bloomberg Radio. At the G seven meetings in France.
Nathan Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is blasting President Trump's
decision to go to war in the first place, and
Warren spoke on Bloomberg's Balance of Power.
America has spent literally tens of billions of dollars halfway
around the world. Fourteen American service members have died, uncounted
numbers of people in the Middle East have died, and
Donald Trump still can't explain how one family in America
is any better off.
And you can catch the entire interview with Massachusetts Senator
Elizabeth Warren on our new video hub, available on the
Bloomberg Business App and always on Bloomberg dot Com.
All right, Karen, let's get now to the latest primary
results across the country. Voters headed the polls in four
states and the District of Columbia. The biggest races to
watch were two runoffs in Georgia, where President Trump's endorsement
led to mixed results. In the Republican Senate race, Trump
backed to Congressman Mike Collins defeated former University of Tennessee
football coach Derek Dooley by an eleven point margin, fifty
five and a half to forty four and a half percent.
Collins says he's ready for the fight ahead in November.
Y'all know what the mission is is to put a
Republican in that seat and get rid of that John
oss Off.
In November, return this seat to the people of Georgia.
And Mike Collins will go on to face Democrat John
Ossoff in a race that could decide control of the
Senate in November.
Meanwhile, Nathan and the Governor's race, President Trump's favored candidate,
Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to billionaire Rick Jackson fifty two
points seven to forty seven point four percent.
Tonight, you made your voice heard loud and clear. Tonight.
We did more than win or runoff tonight, we proved
that people or Georgia are in charge.
And Rick Jackson spend more than one hundred million dollars
of his own money and one of the most expensive
primary races for governor in US history. He'll face former
Atlanta mayor Kisha Lance Bottoms in the general election. Georgia
Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock joined Bloomberg's David Gura and gave
his thoughts on the upcoming peach state election.
It's a purple state, so you got to convince, you know,
all kinds of people to vote for you. I did
it five times in Georgia in less than three years.
Is doable?
Of course. I'm rooting for my brother John Ossoff, and
I think he will do well against whomever they put up.
I think Keisha Lance Bottoms will do well.
In the selection.
Georgia Senator Rafael or well Karen. It was also a
historic primary night in Washington, DC. For the first time
in thirty six years, Democrats picked a nominee for Delegate
to Congress who's not Eleanor Holmes. Norton Council member Robert
White ran away with that nomination with sixty three point
two percent of the vote. The eighty nine year old
Norton decided not to run again after eighteen terms, and
they're still counting the votes in the DC mayor's race.
With sixty four percent of ballots count of Denie Lewis
George Leeds Kenyon McDuffie fifty two point eight to thirty
six point six percent. The race will move to additional
rounds of counting if no one wins more than fifty
percent of that vote. Lewis George is a self described
Democratic socialist and President Trump's threatened a new federal takeover
of the district if she wins the mayor's race.
Well and some other key races to watch Nathan Trump back.
Congressman Barry Moore won the Republican runoff for Alabama's open
Senate seed with fifty five point eight percent of the vote.
He defeated former Navy Seal Jared Hudson MLFACE Democrat Everett West.
He won the Democratic primary with fifty four point six percent.
In California, demoocredit state Senator Aisha Wahabb has advanced to
a runoff in the special election for a former Congressman
Eric Swalwell's open House seat. With eighty two percent of
votes counted, wahab as forty two point four percent. The
runoff to fill the remainder of Swalwell's term will be
held on August eighteenth.
And in Oklahoma, Karen Trump backed Republican Kevin Hearn ran
away with the nomination for the Senate's seat left open
by Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen with sixty nine
point eight percent of the vote. Hearn will face whoever
wins a Democratic runoff between Nikayla Jasmine Thomas and Jim Priest. Meanwhile,
the Republican governor's race in Oklahoma is headed for a
runoff of its own. Gettner Drummond has twenty six point
three percent of the vote, while President Trump's favored candidate
Mike Mazy has twenty six percent. The winner will face
State House minoriti leader Cindy Munson in November.
Let's turn to the economy, now, Nathan, The Federal Reserve
makes its first policy decision under new chairman Kevin Worsh.
No change in policy is expected, and Bloomberg's Michael McKee
has a preview.
Investors know the plot today, they're waiting to see how
the new leading man performs. Do we see Kevin Walsh's
influence in today's communications and how does he handle the
news conference? The central bankers aren't going to change interest rates,
and they'll make minor tweaks to their economic forecasts. Expect
the statements easing biased to disappear, although a number of
other Fed officials were already pushing for that. Look to
the dot plot, though it's forecast to show no rate
cuts in twenty twenty six anymore. But even more interesting
will be whether Warsh, a dot plot critic, submits a
dot and then how he explains not only that, but
what he wants to do in terms of communications and
FED operations. Above all, Global Wall Street wants to know
what he'll have to say about President Trump's influence on
him and his policy views. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio.
Well once again a stock to watch in the pre market,
Karen Is SpaceX. Those shares are on the rise once
again right now, up three and a half percent in
early trading. Elon Musk's company has now overtaken Amazon to
become the fifth largest in the world. The story from
Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.
SpaceX was up for a third day with its post
IPO rally reaching forty nine percent. Walter Todd is president
of Greenwood Capital.
SpaceX to me, with the IPO on Friday is kind
of the culmination of this just massive market rally that
we've had, particularly in technology in the semiconductors and now
SpaceX over a three day period, adding roughly another trillion
dollars to the market cap.
SpaceX now has a market value of two point six
y five trillion dollars, roughly eight billion higher than Amazon.

UFC event at the White House this past weekend. Five
people are now in custody. Here Secret Serch Deputy Director

the level of planning involved. Thankfully, our Advanced Threat Interdiction
Unit got on top of it very early.
Officials and multiple suspects in multiple states were involved. The
US is empty the immigration detention camp and the Florida
Everglades known as Alligator Alcatraz. The state of Florida spent
hundreds of millions of dollars on a high profile facility

continue their third week of the Flamingo Revolution protests. It
was initially a protest against a planned luxury development on
an environmentally sensitive stretch of coastline tied to President Trump's

Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. As the US and Iran
get closer to signing their interim peace deal at the
end of this week, more details are emerging about the
financial incentives Tehran could be in line for to reopen
the Strait of Horror moves President Trump says it won't
include US money.
We are not investing any money.
We have no obligation to invest any money in Iran.
Well, that was President Trump alongside katarz Emir at the
G seven summit in France yesterday, joining us from the
gathering this morning in Evion is Bloomberg Washington correspondent Tyler Kendall.
And of course, Tyler, we've obtained a draft copy of
the fourteen point plan to get the straight reopened. Tell
us more about the financial incentives and how significant they
could be.
Good morning, Hey Nathan, good morning. Well, under this draft
deal theme by Bloomberg News, which isn't final yet but
is believed to be in the final stages, Iran would
basically be able to immediately sell its oil to market
after the deal is signed, and outlines that the Treasury
Department will issue waivers for those sanctions on Iranian crud
that have been in place now. The US has been
saying that any such financial relief would be conditioned that
benefits would accrue over time based off of Iran's performance
related to this deal, if it takes those steps to
reopen the street, if it takes steps to curb its
nuclear program, but this does appear to be an immediate
financial benefit that Iran can reap. The other financial benefit,
as you heard and mentioned earlier, was that we're expecting
this deal will include a three hundred billion dollar what's
being called a development fund, with the financing being provided
by the US and Gulf allies in a bid to
help Iran rebuild. We're still waiting for some more clarity
on that, but some significant financial benefits, but this is
being viewed as perhaps a carrot more than a stick
to try to get Iran to make some significance concessions
when it comes to its nuclear program and what is
expected to be a second phase of negotiations.
Tyler, do we have a sense of how G seven
allies could take this agreement, and I know how you
talked to lawmakers in Washington on a daily basis. How
is it likely to be received in the nation's capital
as well.
That's a good question. It's going to depend on which
lawmakers were talking about at this point. Many Republicans by
and large say that they're in favor of the President
reaching a diplomatic solution because they can get this so
that they can get the strait of hermoves opened, and
they're banking on the US being able to get some
pretty significant concessions related to Iran's nuclear program. The US
has repeatedly said that any finalized deal must include the
retrieval of Iran's highly enriched uran, a moratorium on future enrichment,
and also a stringent inspections regime. They're all very much
in favor of that, but I think you'll start to
hear some skepticism from some of those more hawkish members.
President Drunk yesterday alluded to one of them, saying that
he has to talk to Senator Lindsay Graham, who has
been very outspoken and pushing the President to perhaps take
even more military action because he feels perhaps that could
help get more concessions out of Iran. Here on the
ground at the G seven, there's been a lot of questions,
I think it's fair to say from leaders on exactly
how this deal is going to work, in particular when
it comes to the Strait of Hermos. I caught up
yesterday with the spokesperson for for Instances Foreign Ministry, a
very high ranking official here at the summit, as for instance,
leading this summit, and he told me that until our
allies see the finalized text. They get the information from
the US on exactly how this is going to be implemented.
They're not going to be willing to deploy some really
critical military assets, including my mind ye sweepers that are
going to be essential to reopening the strait of her moves.
Really appreciate this, Tyler, as always Bloomberg Washington correspondent Tyler
Kendall part of our team covering the G seven Leader
summit in Evyon, France.
