1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Good morning. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 2: stories we're following today. 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 3: Karen, the drop in futures closing out this trading week 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 3: comes ahead of a closely watched inflation gage for the 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 3: Federal Reserve. The Core Personal Consumption Expenditures price index is 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 3: forecast to have fallen to three point three percent in November. 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 3: That's from three and a half percent the prior month. 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 3: The economists say that could bolster expectations for FED rate cuts 10 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: next year. Former Dallas FED President Robert Caplan says, despite 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: this morning's report, he expects the Fed to be patient. 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 4: The Fed is going to need to see at least 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 4: two or three months more of continued improvement. I think 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 4: tomorrow will probably be good news, but they're going to 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 4: need to see sustained improvement before they're going to be 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 4: willing to take more action. And so I think the 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 4: market should expect that it's going to take a while 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 4: and more sustained improvement before the Fed does something. 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: Former Dallas Fed chief Bob Kaplan's as markets overreacted to 20 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: FED share j Powell's comments earlier this month on rate cuts. 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 2: Well in Europe Nathan's speculation is growing this morning that 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: the Bank of England may cut interest rates as soon 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: as this ring, and that's because the UK economy unexpectedly 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: shrank in a third quarter. Dan Hansen is a senior 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: economist for a Bloomberg News. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 5: We've been having this conversation about recession for a while. 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 5: I think we'll move on from it in the first 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 5: half of twenty twenty four, which is obviously a good 29 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 5: news story. But as things stand, obviously just looking at 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 5: this data, it is a little bit worse than expected, 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 5: and it does raise the risk of two consecutive quarters 32 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 5: of negative growth, the sort of definition of a technical recession. 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: And Bloomberg New senior economist Dan Hansen says revised figures 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: show GDP dropped a tenth of up percent from the 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: second quarter, a downgrade from the zero growth initially estimated. 36 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: All right, Karen, that let's get to the latest from 37 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: the Middle East. 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: The US is signaling it can now support a UN 39 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: Security Council resolution to increase aid into Gaza. This proposal 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: has been delayed several time times, but a vote could 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: come as soon as today. White House National Security Spokesman 42 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: John Kirby says the US still wants Israel to move 43 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: to a different phase of fighting with Hamas. 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 6: We're not going to speak for their military operations. We 45 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 6: recognize and they recognize that a transition is not only reasonable, 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 6: but probably the most viable way to continue this fight. 47 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: John Kirby at the White House. 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: Now, the latest draft of the Security Council resolution calls 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: for creating the conditions for a sustained cessation of hostilities. 50 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: The US had been opposed to specific language for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, 51 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza says more than 52 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 3: twenty thousand people have been killed in the territory since 53 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: the October seventh attack on Israel. 54 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: Well Nathan, the US is preparing to lift a ban 55 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: on weapons sales to Saudi Arabia.

The US did not say 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 7: when the easing of the band might happen, and it 64 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 7: can be reversed at any time if the President decides 65 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 7: it's not in US interests.

One an uncertain 89 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 9: macro and two weaker China. So those two things together 90 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 9: is what's raising browse here because China, as everyone knows, 91 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 9: is a real area of growth for them. 92 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: And Bloomberg Intelligence and Spoonhem Goyle says.

So 111 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 10: this can actually result in a less efficient operation where 112 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 10: you're going to great lengths at the end of quarter 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 10: to not disappoint people.

This is 212 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 213 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 3: Now two and a half months into the war in Gaza, 214 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 3: Israel continues to face pressure to move its fight with 215 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: Hamas into a less intense phase. The UN is moving 216 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,239 Speaker 3: closer to a resolution to bring more aid into the territory, 217 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: and The New York Times is reporting that the US 218 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: is preparing to lift a ban on offensive arm sales 219 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: to Saudi Arabia as red sea shipping comes under greater attack. 220 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 3: And for more on all this, we were joined by 221 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: Bloomberg New Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. First off, 222 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 3: what's the latest on this Security Council resolution on Gaza aid? 223 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: This has been under debate all week long, hasn't it? 224 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: It has? 225 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 15: And if you remember earlier this month, the US was 226 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 15: the only country voting against and effectively vetoing a UN 227 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 15: Security Council resolution that was calling for an immediate ceasefire 228 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 15: in the Israel Hamas war. Even US allies didn't stand 229 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 15: in the way of that resolution. So they've been trying 230 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 15: to hammer out something all week that could pass, and 231 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 15: it looks like there could be a vote Friday that 232 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 15: US said it could support support a resolution that would 233 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 15: beef up aid deliveries to Gaza, and we don't have 234 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 15: all the details, but which would presumably involve some sort 235 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 15: of a cessation of hostilities. Right now, the draft that 236 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 15: we've seen talks about working towards some kind of a ceasefire, 237 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 15: so not declaring one at the outset, but that's been 238 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 15: the goal along for most of the countries involved in 239 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 15: this process. And we'll have to see what the final 240 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 15: draft is later today and whether that goes down for 241 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 15: a vote. But the US Ambassador to the UN signaling 242 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 15: late last night that the US is likely to support 243 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 15: such an effort. 244 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 3: What's the practical impact of a resolution like this when 245 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 3: we are hearing comments from a White House National Security 246 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: spokesman John Kirby, the Secretary of State Antony Blincoln and 247 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: others calling on Israel to at least de intensify the 248 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 3: war with Gaza, the war in Gaza. 249 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 15: Yeah, you've seen the US, particularly for for weeks now, 250 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 15: trying to straddle this divide between signaling its support for 251 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 15: Israel and saying it has, you know, continues to have 252 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 15: the right to defend itself after those October seventh attacks 253 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 15: by Hamas, but also signaling its real concern about the 254 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 15: rising civilian death toll. And increasingly in recent weeks you've 255 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 15: seen the focus of that balancing act shift towards the 256 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 15: civilian death toll. And you basically have both President Biden 257 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 15: last week before a group of fundraisers and Secretary of 258 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 15: Saint Anthony Blincoln this week saying that they really need 259 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 15: to see a more. 260 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Targeted approach by Israel Israel. 261 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 15: They you know, they're talking about Israel going after AMAS leader, 262 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 15: specific Hamas leaders, rather than maybe the broader bombing campaign 263 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 15: that we saw in the first several weeks and in 264 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 15: actually the first two months of this conflict. 265 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: Bill What more can we say about this New York 266 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: Times report that the Biden administration is getting ready to 267 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: lift an offensive weapons ban on Saudi Arabia. This has 268 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 3: to be related to some of the turmoil we're seeing 269 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 3: in the Red Sea, doesn't it. 270 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 11: Yeah. 271 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 15: Absolutely, It's really interesting because you know, it shows how 272 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 15: the world has changed in just a few years, Just 273 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 15: two or three years ago, when there was a lot 274 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 15: of frustration in the US about about the Saudi led 275 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 15: war against the Huti Rebels and Yemen. It was considered 276 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 15: one of the world's biggest humanitarian disasters at the time. 277 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 15: And you know, in the time since, there's been a 278 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 15: little bit of a shift I think on Saudi Arabia's part, 279 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 15: in particular, since this band went into a place where 280 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 15: they are, they have been more recently trying to find 281 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 15: a diplomatic approach to the Huti Rebels. And you know, 282 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 15: the focus that Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salman had on 283 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 15: persecuting a war has really changed now. So the Biden 284 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 15: administration's argument seems to be, you know, the reason that 285 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 15: we put this ban in place no longer really exists. 286 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 15: We can put it back in if we need to. 287 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 15: But I think they're really trying to leverage the alliance 288 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 15: or the partnership with the saudis to try to get 289 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 15: them in a place where maybe they can put a 290 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 15: little bit more pressure on the Hooties the Red Sea. 291 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 15: It's really become a major crisis for global shipping. It's 292 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 15: become something that threatens supply chains once again. It has 293 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 15: a potential impact on inflation and obviously threatens human lives. 294 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 15: If these attacks on ships passing through that region continue, 295 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 15: it has the really the bigger issue is it has 296 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 15: the risk of expanding this war to a much broader area. 297 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 16: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 298 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 16: the story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 299 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 300 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 301 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 302 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 16: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 303 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 16: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 304 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 16: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 305 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 16: one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty 306 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 16: in San Francisco. 307 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 308 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
