Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 3: I'm Stephen Carroll and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
Speaker 3: stories we're following today.
Speaker 2: Karen, The rise in futures comes in part on signs
Speaker 2: the US will avoid a government shutdown. That's because Senate
Speaker 2: Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is opted not to block a
Speaker 2: Republican spending bill. The decision was made despite a growing
Speaker 2: number of Democrats wanting to use their limited leverage to
Speaker 2: restrain Elon Musk's cost cutting efforts. Addressing the Senate, Schumer
Speaker 2: explained why he decided to walk back the threat of
Speaker 2: a shutdown.
Speaker 4: A shutdown would give Donald Trump an Elon Musk carte
Speaker 4: blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster
Speaker 4: rate than they can right now.
Speaker 2: Republicans likely need seven other Democrats to join Schumer, who
Speaker 2: wouldn't say if there were now enough votes within his
Speaker 2: party to overcome a fellibuster.
Speaker 3: Well, Stephen. The lift of the markets this morning comes
Speaker 3: after the S and P five hundred slipped into correction territory.
Speaker 3: The index is down ten percent from its all time high.
Speaker 3: The tech heavy Nasdaq one hundred index is also in
Speaker 3: a correction and the Dow Jones Industrial average is nine
Speaker 3: point three percent below its last record in December. Lauren Goodwin,
Speaker 3: the chief market strategist at New York Life, says tariff
Speaker 3: worries are rattling Wall Street, but there is no.
Speaker 5: Doubt that the volatility that we've seen in the market
Speaker 5: over the last couple of weeks is about policy uncertainty.
Speaker 5: It's not about economic fundamentals. And what's so interesting about
Speaker 5: that is typically when we see drawdowns of this size,
Speaker 5: it's the other way around. There's a concern implicit in
Speaker 5: the economy about growth or employment, et cetera. This time
Speaker 5: it's uncertainty causing the concerns about growth and employment.
Speaker 3: New York Lives Lauren Goodwin believes markets will remain volatile
Speaker 3: until some of the policy uncertainty clears.
Speaker 2: Investors are the most bullish on tree treasuries relative to
Speaker 2: stocks for at least three years. That's the findings of
Speaker 2: the latest Bloomberg Markets Live Pulse survey. US bonds are
Speaker 2: expected to deliver a better volatility adjusted return over the
Speaker 2: next month than equities, according to a survey of more
Speaker 2: than five hundred market participants conducted this week, and it's
Speaker 2: not even close, with seventy seven percent backing treasuries. That's
Speaker 2: the highest level ever in the survey data going back
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Well Steven. Former Treasury Secretary Stephen Manuchen advised investors not
Speaker 3: to overreact to the current sell off inequities and discounts
Speaker 3: risks of a US recession. In an interview with Bloomberg,
Speaker 3: Manuchin attributes the market correction to a natural correction in
Speaker 3: the market fueled by massive tech spending.
Speaker 6: We came in with the market being fully priced, so
Speaker 6: I think a five to ten percent correction on the
Speaker 6: s and per the NESTAC actually makes sense. The market's
Speaker 6: been really fueled by massive amounts of tech spending, particularly
Speaker 6: around AI. So some of this is a natural correction
Speaker 6: in the market, and some of this is the market
Speaker 6: worrying about tariffs and the impact on tariffs.
Speaker 3: Former Treasury Secretary Stephen Manuchin also discounted risks of a
Speaker 3: US recession. To hear the full conversation, get the Bloomberg
Speaker 3: Talks podcast or watch it live on the Bloomberg podcast
Speaker 3: page on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Karen as for the global trade war. President Trump is
Speaker 2: threatening a two hundred percent tariff on European wine, champagne,
Speaker 2: and other alcoholic beverages. Trump says he'll impose the tariffs
Speaker 2: if the European Union does not immediately remove its countermeasures
Speaker 2: against his twenty five percent tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Speaker 2: In an interview heard right here on Bloomberg Radio, Commerce
Speaker 2: Secretary Harold Lutnik says the EU duties are disrespectful.
Speaker 7: The President has made it crystal clear that he finds
Speaker 7: this tit for tat really abusive and aggravating. Right, his
Speaker 7: objective is steel and aluminum tariffs. Let him build his
Speaker 7: steel and aluminum business in America, because that's import.
Speaker 2: Commerce Secretary Harold Lutnik added he's thankful the UK and
Speaker 2: Mexico refrained from engaging in tit for tat tariff hikes
Speaker 2: and weren't trading partners that upset President Donald Trump opened
Speaker 2: themselves to severe reaction.
Speaker 3: Well, Stephen, the president of the European Central Bank, is
Speaker 3: warning of severe global fallout from a trade war with
Speaker 3: the US. Here's what Christine Laguard told the BBC.
Speaker 8: If we were to go to a real trade war
Speaker 8: where trade would be dumpened significantly, that would have severe consequences.
Speaker 8: It would not be calls for concern. It would be
Speaker 8: severe consequences as growth around the world and for prices
Speaker 8: around the world, but particularly in the United States, but.
Speaker 9: Also in Europe.
Speaker 10: It would push Europe into recession.
Speaker 9: Wouldn't they.
Speaker 8: You know what it's doing at the moment, stirring European energy.
Speaker 8: It's a big wake up call for Europe. Maybe this
Speaker 8: is a European moment yet again.
Speaker 3: And the Guard also told the BBC that Brussels had
Speaker 3: no choice but to retaliate against the following its decision
Speaker 3: to implement twenty five percent tariffs on global steel and
Speaker 3: aluminium imports.
Speaker 2: Well, Karen, if investors think the FAD will step in
Speaker 2: if tariff's damage the economy, they may be wrong. That's
Speaker 2: according to former New York Fed President William Dudley.
Speaker 11: I think the problem is that clares are bad for
Speaker 11: growth and bed for inflation, which puts the FED in
Speaker 11: a buying Basically, they're missing by more on both sides
Speaker 11: of their mandate. So I think in the near term
Speaker 11: the Feds could basically be on hold waiting for more information.
Speaker 2: Well Dudley, now Bloomberg opinion columnist, says the FED could
Speaker 2: be in a bind if tariffs lead to slower growth
Speaker 2: and higher inflation expectations. Read more in his latest column
Speaker 2: at Bloomberg dot com slash opinion or opi and go
Speaker 2: on the Bloomberg terminal.
Speaker 3: Well, now, Stephen, we have the latest on the war
Speaker 3: in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin says he wants to
Speaker 3: discuss a proposed ceasefire in Ukraine with President Trump. However,
Speaker 3: Putin said any truce should lead to a long term
Speaker 3: resolution of the war. Trump says he hopes that Russia
Speaker 3: agrees to the ceasefire deal.
Speaker 12: We're talking about humanity, We're not talking about the money.
Speaker 12: But then you add the money to it, and you know,
Speaker 12: hundreds of billions of dollars is being spent and really wasted,
Speaker 12: so unnecessarily it should have never happened.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the US is titaned sanctions on Russia by restricting
Speaker 3: payments for energy, even as it pursues peace negotiations with Putin.
Speaker 3: Time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 3: stories making news in New York and around the world.
Speaker 3: For that were joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr or Michael
Speaker 3: good morning.
Speaker 10: Good morning. Karen, an American Airlines passenger Jed diverted to
Speaker 10: Denver after reporting engine vibrations last evening. The plane landed safely,
Speaker 10: but while taxing to the gate, an engine caught fire.
Speaker 10: Passengers were evacuated using the aircraft's slides, including this woman.
Speaker 11: It was just a bunch of panicky people around me,
Speaker 11: and the gentleman right next to me was a fireman,
Speaker 11: so he was trying to calm everybody down.
Speaker 10: The FAA says an investigation is under. Columbia University says
Speaker 10: it has expelled or suspended some students who took over
Speaker 10: a campus building during pro Palestinian protests last spring, and
Speaker 10: temporarily revoked the diploma diplomas of some students who have
Speaker 10: since graduated. The university said in a campus wide email
Speaker 10: that its judicial board brought a range of sanctions against
Speaker 10: dozens of students who occupied Hamilton Hall based on its
Speaker 10: evac evaluation of the severity of behaviors. Meanwhile, New York
Speaker 10: City police arrested almost one hundred protesters after demonstrators from
Speaker 10: a Jewish group filled the lobby of Trump Tower on
Speaker 10: Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. They are protesting the ice arrest
Speaker 10: of Columbia grad student Makmud Khalil. He organized a pro
Speaker 10: Palestinian demonstration against Israel at Columbia last year. The demonstrators
Speaker 10: from Jewish Voice for Peace or Red Shirts reading Jews
Speaker 10: say stop arming Israel. In YPD Chief John Shell.

Speaker 10: Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards return to his North Carolina district
Speaker 10: for a town hall with constituents. Many presidents say they
Speaker 10: are not happy with Republicans and President Trump with how
Speaker 10: they are running the country. We've got a lot to
Speaker 10: be proud of in this country.
Speaker 14: I happen to agree with a lot of the things
Speaker 14: that's going.
Speaker 9: On in Washington, DC right now.
Speaker 10: I know many of you are not. Congressman Edwards face
Speaker 10: questions from people including possible cuts to Social Security, federal layoffs,

Speaker 2: Five twelve on Wall Street. Those features pointing higher as
Speaker 2: Senate Democrats have pulled back on their threat of a
Speaker 2: government shutdown, Chuck Schumer ultimately choosing not to block the
Speaker 2: Republican written stop gap funding Baill. Let's discuss now at
Speaker 2: Terry Haynes, founder of Pangaea Policy. Terry, great to talk
Speaker 2: to you. Do you see the risk of a shutdown
Speaker 2: completely gone?
Speaker 14: Now, Stephen, good morning, and no, not completely. I'll get
Speaker 14: they'll usually give you five percent for lightning striking, and
Speaker 14: you know, and there's also there's always a possibility that
Speaker 14: enough Democrats vote here to block temporarily. But you know,
Speaker 14: Schumer's abdication on this is a very positive sign and
Speaker 14: kudos to him. By the way, if you've got a
Speaker 14: bit at hand, the best thing to do is fold,
Speaker 14: and he certainly did.
Speaker 2: But look, is there a question of leverage being lost here?
Speaker 2: That was part of the reasoning that some Democrats did
Speaker 2: want to get involved in blocking this, is there is
Speaker 2: there something the Democrats have lost and making this call.
Speaker 14: You know a lot of the Democratic interest groups will
Speaker 14: say that they've lost things, but I'm not so sure
Speaker 14: about that. You know, you can't win and revive your
Speaker 14: party without without a strong message and without unity, and
Speaker 14: right now the Democrats don't have either. So much smarter
Speaker 14: political play for the Democratic leader to live to fight
Speaker 14: another day here, I.
Speaker 2: Think does this project the image of unity that Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer wanted though, if there's going to be those on
Speaker 2: the sidelines that we're going to complain about this decision?
Speaker 14: No, well, it doesn't really project a unity message at all.
Speaker 14: It projects quite the opposite that there that they're split
Speaker 14: on it. You have just kind of the thin end
Speaker 14: of the wedge. Here is Senator Fetterman of Pennsylvania who
Speaker 14: already was going to vote with with the with the
Speaker 14: Republicans on this, and there's you know, easily half the
Speaker 14: caucus who thought that there were it was it was
Speaker 14: better to continue to be on the side of keeping
Speaker 14: the government open even with the results that they didn't
Speaker 14: particularly like.
Speaker 2: So this needs giving futures a bit of optimism. I
Speaker 2: had to today's trading session, but of course the trade
Speaker 2: tension still playing in the background as well. What's your
Speaker 2: view on the question of escalation from here? It seems
Speaker 2: to be all going in one direction in what sense?
Speaker 2: Well that we're talking about Trump adding, you know, threatening
Speaker 2: two hundred percent tariffs on European wine and champagne. You
Speaker 2: know is are we going to see further fight back
Speaker 2: from the EU on this?
Speaker 14: Well, I think you're going to see continued tit for tat. Sure,
Speaker 14: there's two kinds of tariffs here. One is the but
Speaker 14: I will think I was the geopolitical tariffs Canada and
Speaker 14: Mexico negotiations underway for for better border security and drugs,
Speaker 14: that sort of thing. The other is the tit for
Speaker 14: tet reciprocals that are probably coming in April. But you know,
Speaker 14: the ultimate goal here, and I know markets aren't convinced
Speaker 14: by this, but the ultimate goal here both Bessant and
Speaker 14: Lutnik talked about this yesterday, are frankly to have tariffs
Speaker 14: go away. The idea is to remove tariff barriers, and
Speaker 14: you know, of course that benefits the United States probably
Speaker 14: more than it benefits of other countries. But that's where
Speaker 14: the administration is going and that's what they seek to do.
Speaker 2: Are the winners being created from this as well? I
Speaker 2: mean kaya Kalas, the East top diplomat, telling Bloomberg that
Speaker 2: China's laughing at these escalations of tensions between the US
Speaker 2: and the EU.
Speaker 14: I'm always interested, you know, and I have great respect
Speaker 14: for miscalous and at the same time and know very
Speaker 14: well the you know that she's looking right into the
Speaker 14: teeth as a bear, so to speak, in Estonia. And
Speaker 14: at the same time, I think there probably needs to
Speaker 14: be more of an acknowledgment from the European Union about
Speaker 14: the geopolitical strategy that's implicit in the economic strategy. The
Speaker 14: big reason why Trump is going after this with such
Speaker 14: alacrity really is that he's trying to turbo charge of
Speaker 14: the United States economy, frankly, to build geopolitically the strongest
Speaker 14: economy and frankly phil holes in the United States ability
Speaker 14: to defend itself manufacturing and other things, they.
