Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're
Speaker 1: following today, Karen.
Speaker 2: Earnings and the FED are clearly in focus for investors
Speaker 2: this week. Tomorrow we get highly anticipated results from AI
Speaker 2: Chips stalwart Nvidia. Inflation figures at the end of the
Speaker 2: week will likely reinforce that long awaited rate cuts are
Speaker 2: coming soon. In fact, in an interview with Bloomberg's Michael McKee,
Speaker 2: San Francisco FED President Mary Daily agreed with FED chair
Speaker 2: Jay Powell's view it's time to cut rates.
Speaker 3: Well, to my mind, we've been on this path of
Speaker 3: ready to adjust policy rates for several months. We just
Speaker 3: needed to get a little more confidence and inflation was
Speaker 3: truly on its path to two percent, and I wanted
Speaker 3: to see the labor market come into balance. But I
Speaker 3: think that's completely happened and the risk to our goals
Speaker 3: are now balanced in the time to adjust policy is
Speaker 3: upon us.
Speaker 2: Francisco FRED President Mary Daily says she and her colleagues
Speaker 2: will seek to prevent restrictive policy from harming the labor market.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, as we await those earnings from Nvidia, tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Another one of the so called Magnificent Seven is making
Speaker 1: news this morning. Shares of Apple down about a quarter
Speaker 1: percent in early trading. It's longtime chief financial officer is
Speaker 1: stepping down at the end of the year. Luka Maistrie
Speaker 1: will hand his role to top deputy Kevin Perek after
Speaker 1: more than a decade. The company has described the move
Speaker 1: as a planned transition, with Mystree remaining at the firm
Speaker 1: and a reduced role overseeing information technology and real estate functions.
Speaker 2: Well, Karen, the saga over Paramount Global and its new
Speaker 2: ownership is taking a new twist this morning. Let's get
Speaker 2: the details from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellinger.
Speaker 4: In New York, producer David Ellison, Skydance Media is set
Speaker 4: to become the new owner of Paramount Global. This comes
Speaker 4: after Sigrameir Edgar Bronfman Junior dropped out late last night.
Speaker 4: The Hollywood Studio says it expects to complete the deal
Speaker 4: with sky Dance in the first half of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: David Ellison is the son of Oracle co founder Larry Ellison.
Speaker 4: He is aiming to provide a fresh start for the
Speaker 4: parent of CBS and MTV, laden with more than fourteen
Speaker 4: billion dollars in debt. Paramount has struggled to compete in streaming.
Speaker 4: It has also suffered as cable TV audiences canceled their
Speaker 4: subscriptions and abandoned traditional channels like CBS and Nickelodeon. It's
Speaker 4: reducing its US workforce by fifteen percent. Its shut down
Speaker 4: Paramount television studios this month in New York Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg.
Speaker 1: Radio, all right, Jeff, thank you all. In Europe shares
Speaker 1: a BHP at almost one and a half percent. The
Speaker 1: world's biggest mining company posted profit that beat analyst estimates.
Speaker 1: Revenue from iron ore and copper increase despite a deteriorating
Speaker 1: Shinese demand outlook. We spoke with CEO Mike Henry.
Speaker 5: In China a bit of a mixed picture.
Speaker 6: We're seeing strong growth in a number of segments that
Speaker 6: are are portant for commodity demand in China, and that
Speaker 6: includes automobiles, machinery, infrastructure, shipbuilding, but the property sector itself,
Speaker 6: which makes up about twenty percent of steel demand, that is,
Speaker 6: it's been weak for some time. We've seen lower or
Speaker 6: fairly low levels of both sales and news starts. But
Speaker 6: the Chinese government is enacting policies that are intended to.
Speaker 1: Address that, and BHP boss Mike Henry says he still
Speaker 1: expects China to hit its five percent growth target this year.
Speaker 2: Look hearing that news from BHP comes as the firm
Speaker 2: behind the Chinese Online Marketplace team, who suffered a fifty
Speaker 2: five billion dollar stock route as economic headwinds take a
Speaker 2: toll on China's retailers. In the latest warning on the
Speaker 2: health of the Chinese economy, the CEO of PDD Holdings
Speaker 2: Chen Lay, said revenue and profits must inevitably decline. Reacting
Speaker 2: to the news, shares in the e commerce firm plunged
Speaker 2: by twenty nine percent yesterday, in their biggest fall on record,
Speaker 2: Well Nathan.
Speaker 1: The White House is keeping the US China relationship in
Speaker 1: Focustional Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has arrived in Beijing for
Speaker 1: a three day visit, his first at China. He plans
Speaker 1: to meet with Foreign Minister Wangyee and raised concerns over
Speaker 1: China's support for Russia and the Ukraine War. He also
Speaker 1: plans to restate US positions on Taiwan and the South
Speaker 1: China Sea. China is likely to bring up Taiwan as well.
Speaker 1: Along with US tariffs and efforts to cut China off
Speaker 1: from advanced technology.
Speaker 2: As far as the presidential race goes karent, we're getting
Speaker 2: more insights into Vice President Harris's economic vision from her husband.
Speaker 2: Second Gentleman Doug M. Hoff, spoke at a fundraiser in Sagharbor,
Speaker 2: New York last night. He called his wife a pro
Speaker 2: growth capitalist who wants a forward looking economy that helps everyone.
Speaker 2: Am Hoff pointed to his own career as a business lawyer,
Speaker 2: saying she understood exactly what he was doing with his clients.
Speaker 2: Harris has rolled out an economic platform that includes expanded
Speaker 2: child tax credits and twenty five thousand dollars for first
Speaker 2: time home buyers. She has been criticized for not being
Speaker 2: as specific as past presidential campaigns.
Speaker 1: Well Nathan A US appeals court is being asked to
Speaker 1: reinstate the classified A documents case against former President Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons has the latest.
Speaker 7: Special counsel, Jack Smith, is appealing to Florida judge's decision
Speaker 7: to toss out the criminal case charging the former president
Speaker 7: with mishandling classified documents. Judge Aleen Cannon dismissed the case
Speaker 7: last month, saying the appointment of Smith as Special Council
Speaker 7: was unconstitutional. Smith, in his appeal to the Eleventh US
Speaker 7: Circuit Court of Appeals, says Cannon's decision is at odds
Speaker 7: with long standing appointment practices in the Department of Justice
Speaker 7: as well as across the government. Donald Trump's team is
Speaker 7: due to respond to the government's brief in a month.
Speaker 7: Then the government will have another three weeks to reply.
Speaker 7: In Washington, Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Nancy, thank you. We're planning on covering a space
Speaker 2: launch this morning, but the first ever private spacewalk is
Speaker 2: going to have to wait. SpaceX has scrubbed this morning's
Speaker 2: schedule lift off of Polaris Don with four private astronauts
Speaker 2: on board, due to a roundside helium leake. One of
Speaker 2: those four astronauts is billionaire Jared Isaacman, who's flown with
Speaker 2: SpaceX before and provided the funds for this mission. Isaacman
Speaker 2: and SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis are planning to step outside
Speaker 2: the spacecraft on the third day of the flight and
Speaker 2: both perform a spacewalk. The next launch window for Pularistan
Speaker 2: is no earlier than tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Well Nathan wall Street is beginning to sour on the
Speaker 1: outlook for crude next year, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley
Speaker 1: both lowering price forecast. The two banks now foreseeing global
Speaker 1: benchmark Brent averaging less than eighty dollars a barrel in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Both expect that the crude market will
Speaker 1: be in surplus, with prices trending lower over the twelve months.
Speaker 1: And checking oil right now, West Texas Intermediate is down
Speaker 1: six ten sive percent at seventy six dollars ninety three
Speaker 1: cents a barrel. Brent is at eighty one dollars two cents.
Speaker 1: And it's time now for a look at some of
Speaker 1: the other stories making news in New York and around
Speaker 1: the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael
Speaker 1: Barr Michael good Morning, Good Morning.

Speaker 5: This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. San Francisco. Fed President Mary
Speaker 2: Daily says it is time for the Federal Reserve to
Speaker 2: cut interest rates. She is just the latest Fed official
Speaker 2: to echo J Powell's duvish Jackson Hall remarks. Speaking with
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Michael McKee. Daly said she thinks rate cuts are
Speaker 2: coming next month in part because of concerns about the
Speaker 2: labor market. We now bring you part of their discussion.
Speaker 3: We've been on this path of ready to adjust policy
Speaker 3: rates for several months. We just needed to get a
Speaker 3: little more confidence and inflation was truly on its path
Speaker 3: to two percent, and I wanted to see the labor
Speaker 3: market come into balance. But I think that's completely happened
Speaker 3: and the risk to our goals are now balanced in
Speaker 3: the time to adjust policy is upon us.
Speaker 5: Is there anything that could derail in September, So.
Speaker 3: In my mind that would be hard to imagine. At
Speaker 3: this point, I do see that adjusting policy is appropriate.
Speaker 3: We don't want to get ourselves into a situation where
Speaker 3: we're keeping policy highly restrictive into a slowing economy. And remember,
Speaker 3: every time inflation comes down, the policy gets more restrictive.
Speaker 3: And I think that's a recipe, if you will, for
Speaker 3: overtightening and injuring the labor marketing growth.
Speaker 13: Well, the Chairman and basically the Open Market Committee said
Speaker 13: coming out of the meeting that the downside risks are
Speaker 13: greater to unemployment than to inflation. How big are the
Speaker 13: downside risks to employment right now?
Speaker 3: So we definitely have to keep that in mind, because,
Speaker 3: as you know, the labor market, when it starts to adjust,
Speaker 3: often has adjusted abruptly and significantly. But right now we
Speaker 3: don't see any signs of that. You look at initial
Speaker 3: claims for unemployment insurance, you look at early indications of layoffs.
Speaker 3: They're just not present, and so that's not giving us
Speaker 3: any signs that there's a deterioration. Importantly, as you know,
Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank presidents spend a considerable amount of time
Speaker 3: talking to contacts, businesses, workers. We're really not hearing signs
Speaker 3: that firms are poised for layoffs. What they are doing
Speaker 3: is managing headcount, making sure that they really want to
Speaker 3: refill a job before they do it. But at this point,
Speaker 3: I don't see any morning signs of weakness. But we
Speaker 3: want to make sure that we are adjusting policy as
Speaker 3: we go so that it's ready for the economy we
Speaker 3: have and for the economy we're likely to get, and
Speaker 3: ensure that we don't end up in that situation where
Speaker 3: we see real weakness.
Speaker 5: All right, let's talk about tactics.
Speaker 13: Markets are now pricing one hundred basis points it cuts
Speaker 13: by the end of the year, but there are only
Speaker 13: three meetings left, which would imply at least one to
Speaker 13: fifty basis point cut. Do you think the markets are
Speaker 13: wrong or is a good possibility we see a fifty somewhere.
Speaker 5: Well, I think.
Speaker 3: Everyone's looking at the economic projections and then making a decision.
Speaker 3: For me, what I'm going to be doing is looking
Speaker 3: at the incoming information. As you said, we have another CPI,
Speaker 3: another labor market report discussed with my colleagues, talk to
Speaker 3: our contacts and fashion the policy that's right for the
Speaker 3: economy that we see. So it's too early to know
Speaker 3: exactly what the tactics will be. We do know one thing,
Speaker 3: the direction of changes down, and we need to do
Speaker 3: it in a way that is responsive to the economy
Speaker 3: and not let the economy get in a position of weakness.
Speaker 5: Well, let me quote the FED back to you.
Speaker 13: If the economy evolves as we expect, as you always say,
Speaker 13: would that imply a twenty five basis point cut in
Speaker 13: September versus fifty.
Speaker 3: So I think of it as his scenarios, if I
Speaker 3: may so, the scenario that is my most likely outcome,
Speaker 3: and what I see in the data and the projections
Speaker 3: is that we continue to get gradual slowing in inflation,
Speaker 3: and we continue to get that study sustainable pace of
Speaker 3: growth in the labor market. If those things happen, then
Speaker 3: adjusting policy at the regular normal cadence seems reasonable. But
Speaker 3: if we see a further deterioration or we haven't seen
Speaker 3: any deterioration yet in the labor market, if we should
Speaker 3: see deterioration or any signs of weakness, then being more
Speaker 3: aggressive to ensure that we don't see that it would
Speaker 3: be appropriate. So I think it's too early to know,
Speaker 3: and I don't want to make a declaration when none
Speaker 3: is necessary. The direction of changes down and the time
Speaker 3: to adjust is now. In my opinion, some.
Speaker 13: Of your colleagues at the regional banks told me in
Speaker 13: Jackson Hole that they want to see a methodical, step
Speaker 13: by step process and that companies want to see that
Speaker 13: as well. What markets are reading into a little bit
Speaker 13: of what Jay Pile said when he did not or
Speaker 13: did not say because he didn't use the word patient,
Speaker 13: do you think that there is a sort of bias
Speaker 13: to maybe do more if the labor market is a
Speaker 13: little bit weaker than anticipated.
Speaker 3: Well, let me speak about myself. And I see further
Speaker 3: signs that the economy or the labor market is slowing,
Speaker 3: is unwelcomed, and I do not want to see that.
Speaker 3: That's a that's not what we're looking for. We're looking for,
Speaker 3: and the Chair said this in this speech. We're looking
Speaker 3: for inflation to come down, can be sustainably down to
Speaker 3: two percent, and for the labor market to stay right
Speaker 3: about where it is. We don't want to see additional
Speaker 3: weakness because that's actually what we're trying to prevent. Ultimately,
Speaker 3: have two goals, christability, full employment. We're trying to get
Speaker 3: those two goals to simultaneously exist, and adjusting the policy
Speaker 3: rate to ensure that happens is what we will need
Speaker 3: to do.
