Here are the stories we're following today. 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with fast moving developments in Washington, DC 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 2: that are threatening to shut down the government by the 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 2: end of the week. The stopgap spending bill that a 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: lawmakers agreed to just this week is dead. That's after 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: President elect Donald Trump came out against it and threatened 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 2: to oust fellow Republicans who don't meet his demands. House 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: Majority Leader Steve Scalise says, now it's basically back to 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: square one. There's still a lot of negotiations conversations going on, 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: but there's no many agreement. Majority Leader Steve Scalie spoke 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: after meeting last night with Vice President elect JD. 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: Vance. 15 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: Both Vance and Trump are asking for a streamlined bill 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: that leaves out sweetener's like one hundred billion dollars for 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: disaster relief and ten billion for farmers. House MINORITI leader 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: high Kakim Jeffrey says they had a deal. 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 4: An agreement is an agreement. It was bipartisan and there 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 4: was nothing more to say. 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: MINORITI Leader Hakim Jeffrey says Republicans will own any harm 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: that results from a government shutdown. 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, President elect Trump is demanding even more than 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: just a clean spending bill, and we get more on 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: that with the Bloomberg's Laura Davison. 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 5: The thing that he's really asking that is probably going 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 5: to be the most politically problematic is he also wants 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 5: to vote on raising the debt ceiling. Now, Congress was 29 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 5: originally slated to do this sometime this summer. Trump says 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 5: he wants to do it under Biden's watch versus under his. 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 5: This is always a tough vote. Usually there are weeks 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 5: of negotiations heading up to this. To do it in 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 5: forty eight hours is going to be a really, really 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 5: tall ask and potentially means that we could be tipping 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 5: towards shutdown territory. 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: And Bloomberg's Laura Davison says, Congress has until the summer 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: to raise the debt ceiling, but if lawmakers can't reach 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: a new agreement on a funding plan, the government could 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: shut down after midnight tomorrow night. 40 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: Well, Karen, let's turn out to mark. It's where futures 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: are moving higher following yesterday's FED fueled sell off on 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial average fell more than 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: eleven hundred points, or two point six percent. The S 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: and P five hundred fell three percent, while the Nasdaq 45 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: was hardest hit, sliding more than three and a half percent. 46 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: The turbulence came after the Fed scaled back the number 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: of cuts at season twenty twenty five to two and 48 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 2: chared your own. Pal said future easing would require fresh 49 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 2: progress on inflation. 50 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 6: Once again, we've you know, we've had a year on 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 6: projection for inflation and it's kind of fallen apart as 52 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 6: we've approached at the end of the year. So that 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 6: is certainly a large factor in people's thinking. I can 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 6: tell you that might be the single biggest factor is 55 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 6: inflation has once again underperformed relative to expectations. It's still, 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 6: you know, going to be between two and a half 57 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 6: and three. It's wave below where it was, but you know, 58 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 6: we really want to see progress on inflation. 59 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: J Pal and Company did deliver a widely expected quarter 60 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: percentage point rate cut yesterday. Cleveland FED President Beth Hammick 61 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: was the loan dissenting vote. She preferred to hold Rate's 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: study well. 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Nathan. Reaction is still pouring into the hawk ish tilled 64 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: by the FED, and here's black rocks Jeffrey Rosenberg. 65 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 7: This is a surprise to markets. And so one of 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 7: the things the markets had hoped for was a FED 67 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 7: that was very much leaning towards easy financial conditions, focusing 68 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 7: more on the labor side than on the inflation side, 69 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 7: and that was pretty supportive to financial conditions and taking risks. 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 7: So you see the market reactions not what markets were expecting, 71 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 7: and so certainly that's a little bit less favorable environment 72 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 7: for risk taking. 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: In addition to blackrocks Jeffrey Rosenberg, we also cut up 74 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: with former Fed economist and Bloomberg opinion columnist Claudia sam We. 75 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 5: Know this FED like we have watched this Fed. 76 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: It is a one that understands the dual mandate and 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: it's very data driven. 78 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 5: Everything's going to hinge on what do we actually see 79 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: next year. 80 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 8: I mean, these projections are not that informative. 81 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 6: Is what are we facing? 82 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: And former Fed economist and Bloomberg opinion columnist Claudia Som 83 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: fifteen of nineteen officials now see a higher risk inflation 84 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: will exceed their expectations, as a massive shift from the 85 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: three who felt the same back in September Well Karen. 86 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: Monetary policy is also in focus around the world. This morning, 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: the Bank of Japan kept its policy rate unchanged, with 88 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: the benchmark remaining at around a quarter percent. However, the 89 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: end is weakening after comments by BOJ Governor Coswell Awaita 90 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: cast doubt on whether the bank could hike interest rates 91 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: in January. 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 1: Well, next Nathan, it is the Bank of England's turn. 93 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Economists expect the BOE to hold interest rates. Study today 94 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberry Chief UK economist Dan Hansen says there is still 95 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: scope for policymakers to cut rates in twenty twenty five. 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 9: I think there's probably more room for the Bank of 97 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 9: England's cut interest rates next year, so we think they'll 98 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 9: get down to three point seventy five percent, So that's 99 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 9: one hundred basis points cuts, which is obviously a lot 100 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 9: more than the market has at the moment. The market's 101 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 9: got about sixty. I think what that comes down to 102 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 9: really is your view about this idea of the neutral 103 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 9: rate and how well the rate that neither speeds up 104 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 9: nor slows down the economy. 105 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: In Bloomberg, Dan Hansen says BOE Governor Andrew Bailey and 106 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: his colleagues are likely to strike a conscious tone given 107 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: the inflation threats brewing at home and abroad. 108 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: And speaking of abroad, Karen, Sweden's central bank acted today, 109 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: lowering its benchmark rate by twenty five basis points to 110 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: a two year low of two and a half percent. 111 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: It also signaled its easing campaign is likely to be 112 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: wrapping up, with one cut left to deploy. Norway's Central 113 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: Bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged well. 114 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: Checking some stocks on the move here in the US, 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: Nathan shares of Micron.

They sent Capbocacko to Seattle 195 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 10: for defenseman Will Borgan and two draft picks. Kaka was 196 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 10: the second overall pick of the twenty nineteen draft. Did 197 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 10: not live up to that. Moorgan could be a Ranger 198 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 10: of rent, though he could be a free agent after 199 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 10: the season. Max Freed was a free agent. The deally 200 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 10: signed with the Yankees was eight years, two hundred and 201 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 10: eighteen million dollars, most of it for a left handed pitcher. 202 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 10: Freed was at the stadium yesterday. He took a virtual 203 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 10: tour before signing and that included a visit to the 204 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 10: Yankee clubhouse. 205 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 11: Three words that were put on, you know, up on 206 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 11: the wall and it's prepared, compete and win. And I 207 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 11: thought a lot about that, and to me as a 208 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 11: competitor and just to me as a corp as a player. Uh, 209 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 11: they really resonated with me. 210 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 10: Yankee GM Brian Cashman said, We've done some heavy lifting, 211 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 10: got more to do.

Good morning, I'm 218 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: Nathan Hager. Where the holiday spirit maybe run a little 219 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: cold In Washington, d C. President elect Donald Trump has 220 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: come out against the funding bill that was just agreed 221 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: to this week, and we'd keep the government from shutting 222 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: down after tomorrow night. And that is prompting one key 223 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: question for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise officially not right. 224 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: Yes. 225 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: Congressman Steve Scalie says the current continuing resolution on as 226 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: the cr is dead. Joining us this morning, Bloomberg new 227 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: senior editor Bill ferries the perennial question about Washington, DC, Bill, 228 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: what is going on in the nation's capital. 229 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 12: Good morning, Hey, good morning, Nathan. Well, it's a meltdown. 230 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 12: I think that's still in progress. We're going to learn 231 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 12: a lot more today. I'm sure it was not a 232 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 12: pleasant night for Speaker John or at least not for 233 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 12: his staff trying to figure out what the next plan 234 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 12: is here you heard from you heard from a congressman's 235 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 12: police right there. There did not appear to be a 236 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 12: plan B in case Donald Trump stepped in and voiced 237 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 12: his opposition as he did. So they're kind of be 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 12: scrambling to come up with alternatives to prevent the government, 239 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 12: or at least government part of the government, from shutting 240 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 12: down as soon as this weekend. But certainly, you know, 241 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 12: I think the Speaker and a lot of Republicans were 242 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 12: celebrating to the fact that they got this deal done. 243 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 12: Now it looks like they're going to have to figure 244 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 12: out an alternative strategy here. 245 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: What is it the President elect Trump is objecting to 246 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: in Plan A. I mean, a lot of the sweeteners 247 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 2: we've been talking about in this continuing resolution were things 248 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: that Republicans wanted, weren't they? 249 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, you know, so on top of the 250 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 12: continuing Resolution just to keep government agencies going at the 251 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 12: levels they had been previously funded at, there was one 252 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 12: hundred billion dollars in there for disaster relief in the 253 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 12: aftermath of some of those the pair hurricanes we had 254 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 12: last year. Some of that money was also destined to 255 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 12: help rebuild the Baltimore Key bridge that collapsed. There's an 256 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 12: extension of the farm bill, There's ten billion dollars in 257 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 12: additional aid to farmers. There's five hundred million dollars for 258 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 12: childcare funds. So there's a lot of other measures in 259 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 12: there too, not necessarily all spending, but it sounds like, 260 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 12: I mean, what we can figure out from what we've 261 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 12: heard from the President elect, what we've heard from Vice 262 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 12: President elect jd Vance, and frankly what we've heard from 263 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 12: Elon Musk, is that Donald Trump would like to see 264 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 12: a clean continuing resolution, so a lot of those sweeteners 265 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 12: stripped out of there, and he really wants a deal 266 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 12: to lift the debt ceiling under this Congress. So it's 267 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 12: not something that he has to deal with, let's say, 268 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 12: next summer, in the early months of his presidency. That 269 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 12: to me, I think is one of the big things 270 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 12: they'll have to figure out if they can do now. 271 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 12: He wants he wants Joe Biden, he wants Democrats in 272 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 12: Congress to have to h to support that kind of 273 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 12: a measure. Lifting raising the debt ceiling all always a 274 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 12: tough vote for Republicans. It's just not clear whether they'll 275 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 12: be able to do that in the in the time remaining. 276 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that debate over a debt ceiling. I mean, as 277 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: you say, it's not supposed to be lifted potentially until 278 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: later on this summer in our last minute bill. Is 279 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: this a preview of fights to come between President elect 280 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: Trump and not just Democrats but his own Republicans. 281 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 12: Absolutely, I mean, I think this is going to be 282 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 12: the roadmap for what's coming. I mean, you think about 283 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 12: Speaker Johnson, He's already had to negotiate with the with 284 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 12: the with the President elect. He's had to negotiate with 285 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 12: Democrats and Congress and uh, and he's had noigate some 286 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 12: at some level with the White House. Last night, he 287 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 12: said he was also in the middle of texting Elon 288 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 12: Musk and vivek Ramas Swami about this legislation. So he's 289 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 12: got all these different people and parties he's got to 290 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 12: work with, including his own caucus. It's going to be 291 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 12: a very very bouncy, very tumultuous twenty twenty five in 292 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 12: particular for him. 293 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 294 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 295 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 296 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 297 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 298 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 299 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 300 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 301 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: XM Channel one twenty one. 302 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 303 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,479 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 304 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
