1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: Good morning. 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: stories we're following today. 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: Karen, the surge in futures this morning comes after a 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: Vassil session following the Fed's fifty basis point rate cut. 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: The S and P five hundred wiped out a one 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: percent gain yesterday after FED share, j Powell cautioned against 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: assuming big rate cuts would continue. 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: I do not think that anyone should look at this 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 3: and say, oh, this is the new pace. Have to 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 3: think about it in terms of the base case. Of course, 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 3: what happens will happen. So in the base case, what 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 3: you see is look at the SEP. You see cuts 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 3: moving along. The sense of this is we're recalibrating policy 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 3: down over time to a more neutral level, and we're 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: moving at the pace that we think is appropriate. 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: And Jay Powell, the Fed's first rate cut in four 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: years was accompanied by projections indicating an additional fifty basis 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: points of cuts across the remaining two policy meetings this year. 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, we have plenty of reaction from the FED 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: raid cut. We caught up with Bloomberg Opinion columnist Muhammad Alarian, 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 1: KMPG Chief US Economist Diane Swank, and former New York 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: Fed President Bill Dudley. 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: We're going to look back and either this will be 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 4: the absolutely white bet, which is be preemptive on the 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 4: labor market after you were reactive to inflation. This is 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 4: a fundamental change in the reaction function. Alternatively, we will 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: look at this as being too aggressive. I'm hoping that 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 4: it will be the first. 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 5: This was a huge victory for j. 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 6: Powell, who really laid out at his Jackson Hole speech 33 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 6: that he was worried about employment, and that is what 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 6: this is about. 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 5: It's pretty much I was expecting in the sense that 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 5: one of the issues that Paul had is how do 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 5: you two fifty without scaring people that you know something 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 5: bad about the economy? And I think you did that 39 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 5: very well. He basically said, we're doing this because the 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 5: news is good. We've made progress sound inflation, as opposed 41 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 5: we're doing this because the news is bad. So I 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 5: thought it was a very providing reassurance to people that 43 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 5: FED thinks that they've got it. 44 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: That was former New York Fed President Bill Dudley. KPMG 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: Chief US Economist Diane Swank and Bloomberg opinion columnist Mohammad Alarian. 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: The decision was not without some controversy. Michelle Bowman cast 47 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: a dissenting vote in favor of a smaller quarter point 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: rate reduction that marked the first ascent by a FED 49 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: governor since two thousand and five. 50 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: Well, Karen, investors aren't the only ones cheering the Fed's 51 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: rate cut.

This is 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 7: part of an effort to recast his handling of the economy, 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 7: particularly as voters continue to give him low marks for 59 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 7: tackling inflation. It's important for both the President personally and 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 7: the Democrats more broadly, as Vice President harr Is is 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 7: locked in that tight election battle Donald Trump, his eighth say, 62 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 7: Biden will outline ways he believes the economy could still 63 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 7: be made stronger while pushing costs lower.

However, wages are 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 8: increasing on a faster Bank of England cutting cycle ahead 74 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 8: after inflation readings came in lower than Central Bank forecasts 75 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 8: in July and August.

A new study finds 179 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 12: that preventable risk factors are driving a global increase in strokes. 180 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,479 Speaker 12: Doctor Valerie Fagan is the director of the National Institute 181 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 12: for Stroke and Applied Neuroscience at the University of Auckland 182 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 12: in New Zealand. 183 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 14: Stroke is probably one of the most preventable and yet 184 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 14: very fatal and disabling conditions. 185 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 12: Dr Fagan says strokes killed more than seven million people 186 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 12: each year. The study, published in the journal Lancet Neurology, 187 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 12: finds environmental factors like air pollution and heat waves, and 188 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 12: individual factors like blood pressure and bad cholesterol are behind 189 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 12: the recent increase.

The Meriners had 212 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 10: runners at first and third. Nobody at Randy or Rose 213 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 10: Arena struck out and his bat went flying towards the 214 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 10: head of Julio Rodriguez at third as he got out 215 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 10: of the way of the bat. Austin Wells through the 216 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 10: third and Rodriguez was picked off. Orioles lost again, Yankees 217 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 10: moving out towards Clinton, the division they lead by five games. 218 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 10: At City Field, the night after the Mets won ten 219 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 10: to one, they won ten nothing over Washington. Jose Quintana 220 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 10: went the first seventy and these gave up just two hits, 221 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 10: brand of nimmoa three on homer.

I'm Nathan Hager. The Fed is determined to 233 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: achieve a soft landing. That is the message Chairman Jpowell 234 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: sent to markets as the Central Bank pivots to cutting 235 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: interest rates with a half percent move. 236 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 3: The economy is growing at a solid pace, inflation is 237 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: coming down closer to our two percent objective over time, 238 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: and the labor market is still in solid shape. So 239 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: our intention is really to maintain the strength that we 240 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: currently see in the US economy. 241 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: That was the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell 242 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: at the news conference following that fifty basis point cut. 243 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: For more this morning, we are joined by Veronica Clark, 244 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: us economist at City. Veronica, good morning. You were first 245 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: out of the gate with this call. You've said in 246 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: July that the Fed is going to do fifty basis points. 247 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: Was this the right call? 248 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning for having me. I do think it 249 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 6: probably was. Of of course, in the end, the decision 250 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: was very close, and we didn't know what this was 251 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 6: going to be going into yesterday, the first time in 252 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 6: a long time that that's happened. But I do think 253 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 6: the argument for a fifty basis point Kaui is strong. 254 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 6: Even tar Pale said it, you know the sense in 255 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 6: which if you had had those July employments, you know, 256 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 6: data points, just a couple of days earlier, maybe they 257 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 6: would have cut in July. Maybe you were making up 258 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 6: first and lost time. But we are never going to 259 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 6: be further from a neutral interest rate than when you 260 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 6: start cutting, so it makes sense to do it right away. 261 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: The same time, Palell said, don't get used to it, 262 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 2: that this isn't necessarily meaning that it's always going to 263 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 2: be fifty. You agree with that. 264 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 6: I think if that is is of course going to 265 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 6: stay pretty optimistic here, and we did have you know, 266 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 6: the updated economic production yesterday. They only expect the unemployment 267 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 6: rate to rise maybe another tent or two from where 268 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 6: we are now, still expecting strong GDP growth, and I 269 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 6: think if that plays out then and it's fair that 270 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 6: you know, the pace of cuts would would slow. But 271 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 6: I think for us, you know, we're always trying to 272 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 6: you know, first and foremost based our FED call on 273 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 6: where we think the economic data are headed, and we 274 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 6: actually do see the chance of more labor market weakness. 275 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 6: We do have two more employment reports to go before 276 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 6: we get to the next said meeting in November. I 277 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 6: think there could still be some weakness in the labor 278 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 6: market data and those reports we think they're going fifty 279 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 6: age and in November. Because of that, do. 280 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: You think we need to hear more clarity from Chairman 281 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: Pale about what the path is going to be for rates, 282 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: what the size of the cuts is going to be. 283 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: Is there too much data dependence from this FED. 284 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 6: I don't think so. I think you know, he said it, 285 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 6: of course when we're taking it meeting by meeting, it is, 286 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 6: you know, really just the labor market data now first 287 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 6: and foremost and I think we do know that their 288 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 6: reaction function to if the data evolve in a certain way. 289 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 6: If we do see weaker labor market data, their reaction 290 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 6: is going to be to support the labor market is 291 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 6: as much as they can, So we at least understand 292 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 6: I think that they have a pretty sensitive reaction function 293 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 6: to any weaker labor market data. 294 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: Do you think there's still a reaction function to inflation? 295 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 2: Is the FED taking its eye off the ball on 296 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: inflation too soon? 297 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, of course that is the other 298 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 6: important element of their mandate. And I don't think, you know, 299 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 6: we're you know, dismissing inflation altogether. But I actually was 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 6: a bit surprised that we did have this stronger CPI reading, 301 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 6: you know, last week, and we thought, maybe, you know, 302 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 6: the best compromise then among the Hawks and the doves 303 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 6: was to just do a twenty five even yesterday. But clearly, 304 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 6: you know, the labor market is taking precedent here. I 305 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 6: think we had an even response from Para Powell about 306 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 6: the stickiness of shelter inflation, and he was somewhat dismissive 307 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 6: of that. So I think the focus for the FED 308 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 6: is just very quickly shifting to the labor market data. 309 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: And speaking of the split between hawks and doves in 310 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: our last minute here, how significant was it that Governor 311 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: Bowman dissented on this decision? 312 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, not surprising. She is certainly probably the most hawkish 313 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 6: beneficial I was actually even maybe a bit surprised that 314 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: there weren't more descents. Of course, the market was very 315 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 6: fifty to fifty split on what the size of the 316 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 6: cut was going to be. We really didn't know up 317 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 6: until the last minute. I would have thought maybe there 318 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 6: were even some more hawks, you know, arguing for starting 319 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 6: a bit smaller. So I don't think that descent is 320 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 6: too meaningful. If anything, this is more consensus than I 321 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 6: would have thought in a split posiion. 322 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 323 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 324 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 325 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 326 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 327 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 328 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 329 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 330 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: XM Channel one twenty one. 331 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business App 332 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 333 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
