On that front, I do think though 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 7: it's important to remember that the stakes are getting. 51 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: Higher and higher. 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 8: Here. 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 7: We are getting closer and closer to the November seventeenth 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 7: date where we could have a shutdown again.

I'm Ed Baxter, and this is Bloomberg Garbrian, 76 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: I'm Brian Curtis, along with Doug Christner. Vonnie Quinn will 77 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: be joining us a little bit later. 78 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: Today, FED Chair J Powell suggested that the FED is 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: inclined to hold interest rates steady again at the next meeting, 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: but Powell was careful not to rule out the possibility 81 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: of further tightening. 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 10: We have models for everything, we have formulists for everything. Ultimately, 83 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 10: as a practitioner, we have to focused on what the 84 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 10: economy is telling us, even taking lags into account. What's 85 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 10: it telling us, does it feel like policy is too 86 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 10: tight right now? 87 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: I would have to say no. 88 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 10: I think the evidence is not that a policy is 89 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 10: too tight right now. So and M word five five 90 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 10: and a quarter to five and a half percent, that's Jowell. 91 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: Powell also said that rising yields may lessen the need 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: for higher interest rates. Yields on two year treasuries declined 93 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: after Palace spoke, while tenure yields approached the five percent 94 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: more well. 95 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: The US is weighing leaning on banks as a way 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: of curbing highly leverage trading among hedge funds, the story 97 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's and Kates. 98 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 11: Top regulators are especially concerned about the growth of one 99 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 11: strategy known as the basis trade, which involves a use 100 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 11: of leverage from the price gap between treasury futures and 101 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 11: the underlying cash market. Although hedge funds are subjected to 102 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 11: less direct rug liatory oversight, they rely on large banks 103 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 11: to finance many of their trades, so federal officials are 104 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 11: considering options including pushing financial institutions to ramp up haircuts 105 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 11: on some secured borrowing and collect more data on exposures. 106 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 11: In Washington and Kate's Bloomberg Radio Well, we. 107 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: Go to politics next. A new poll is out in 108 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four presidential race from Bloomberg News and 109 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: Morning Consult and it points to a challenge ahead for 110 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: President Biden in a head to head matchup with former 111 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. More from Bloomberg's Jack Fitzpatrick. 112 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 12: He is trailing in this poll in several important swing 113 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 12: states that includes Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin 114 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 12: to former President Trump. Collectively in seven different battleground states, 115 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 12: he trails overall in aggregate forty seven to forty three. 116 00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 12: Voters say they broadly support former President Trump's stance on 117 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 12: the economy. They trust him on the economy. More, foreign 118 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 12: policy is not a strength for President Biden either. It's 119 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 12: broadly a pretty negative poll for President Biden in swing 120 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 12: states in particular. 121 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: That's Bloomberg's Jack Fitzpatrick. The poll also finds swing state 122 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: voters citing the US economy as the most important issue 123 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 2: heading to the mallot box. 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: Well, Taiwan's giant chip fabricator TSMC says the worst could 125 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: soon be over for the semiconductor industry. The story from 126 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: bloombergs Juan Wong in Hong Kong. 127 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 13: The Taiwan chipmaker, projected sales of about nineteen billion dollars 128 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 13: this quarter and capital spending of thirty two billion dollars 129 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 13: for twenty twenty three. That's ahead of analysts estimates. It 130 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 13: also posted better than expected net income at the third 131 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 13: quarter of six and a half billion dollars. Ceocc Way 132 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 13: says the company is counting on the chip market hitting 133 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 13: bottom very soon, but he stopped short of calling for 134 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 13: a strong rebound because of uncertainty surrounding China. TSMC is 135 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 13: also counting on a sustained boom in demand for chips 136 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 13: to train AI surfaces. That demand has been sparked by 137 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 13: the advent of chat GPT in Hong Kong joined Wong Bloomberg. 138 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: Radio battery maker CAATL posted third quarter net income and 139 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: revenue that missed estimates. Bloomberg's Bunny Ou has the story 140 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: from Hong Kong. 141 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 14: Net income rose ten percent from a year earlier to 142 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 14: the equivalent of one point four billion dollars in the 143 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 14: third quarter. That's far short of analyst estimates of one 144 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 14: point seven eight billion. Revenue also saw the slowest growth 145 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 14: in three years of just eight point two percent. The 146 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 14: legluster results point to a slight cooling of demand for 147 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 14: electric vehicles, as well as a price war and rising 148 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 14: competition in Hong Kong. I'm Bonnie Al Bloomberg Radio. 149 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm Brian Curtis along with Vonnie Quinn, and we say 150 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: good morning to our guest joined on the radio here 151 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: for a little bit closer look at what's happening with 152 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: politics and also the Israel Hamas war. Daniel Flatley, Bloomberg 153 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: National Security reporter joins us So, Daniel, just a plethora 154 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 2: of developments there that we heard from Ed Baxter, among 155 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 2: them US bases in Syria and Iraq attacked, and also 156 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: that US destroyer launching cruise missiles or launching launching missiles 157 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: to shoot down cruise missiles heading for Israel. Is the 158 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: US getting sucked into this war? 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's a good question, Brian. I don't 160 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 15: think that the US is getting sucked into the war necessarily, 161 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 15: but it is certainly being challenged on several different fronts 162 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 15: at the moment. It's hard to tell, of course, whether 163 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 15: this is a coordinated effort or whether this is just 164 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 15: some isolated cases of people trying to take advantage of 165 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 15: the fact that you know, the US now has a 166 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 15: war in Europe, a war in the Middle East, tensions 167 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 15: of China, and that's all trying to manage at the 168 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 15: same time. So I think that not necessarily getting the 169 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 15: US is not necessarily getting dragged into the war in 170 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 15: the Middle East, but is certainly getting dragged in a 171 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 15: number of different directions at the moment. 172 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 8: How much is the Middle East Daniel speaking with one voice. 173 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 15: That's a good question, Vannie. It's hard to say. I mean, 174 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 15: I think that there are a number of different interests 175 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 15: at play here. I think that certainly with regard to 176 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 15: the conflict going on right now between Israel and Hamas 177 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 15: in the Gaza Strip, there is a lot of confusion 178 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 15: and a lot of questions about where this is going 179 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 15: to go from now. We know that President Biden is 180 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 15: supposed to address the nation tonight at eight pm our 181 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 15: time here in Washington to discuss not just the terrorist 182 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 15: attacks against Israel, according to what the White House has said, 183 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 15: but also Russia's ongoing brutal war against Ukraine. So just 184 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 15: kind of an illustration of the fact that there's a 185 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 15: lot going on right now, to say the least. 186 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pentagon's saying just as you reference that the 187 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: US is sending more interceptors for Israel as to be 188 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: used in its ironed on defense system. Curious whether or 189 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 2: not those were originally earmarked for Ukraine or those new. 190 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 15: Yeah, it's another good question. I think that we know 191 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 15: that the defense industrial base has had some issues keeping 192 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 15: up with everything that's going on, you know, earlier this year, 193 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 15: even before well before recent events occurred. You know, we've 194 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 15: done some reporting on the fact that the US defense 195 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 15: industry is having trouble keeping up with stockpiles. There is 196 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 15: there's been some reporting about some stockpiles in the Middle 197 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 15: East near Israel that have been tapped for Ukraine. So 198 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 15: you know, there's really only so much of this stuff 199 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 15: to go around. It takes a long time to be 200 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 15: manufactured to make it to these strategic positions. So yeah, 201 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 15: definitely some stress on the system, no doubt. 202 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 8: How concerned are US national security interests about you know, 203 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 8: places like Yemen and the who's he's getting involved? 204 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 15: I think that's always a concern. You know, you have, 205 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 15: especially in Iraq and Syria, some US personnel operating, you know, 206 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 15: and they could more directly come under fire. But I 207 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 15: think basically what we're seeing now is the potential for 208 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 15: a lot of these touch points to kind of catch 209 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 15: fire at the same time, and that would really be 210 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 15: a lot of stress on the system. 211 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: In terms of what Israel does in Gaza. I saw 212 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: our story featuring that a little bit of a change 213 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: in approach seems to have happened as a result of 214 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: President Biden's trip. I'm not sure if it's directly because 215 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: of the trip, but could you outline for us how 216 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: it's different. It seems to be that it starts later 217 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: and lasts longer, something like that. 218 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you know. In speaking to officials here 219 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 15: in Washington, there was some initial concern that Israel would 220 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 15: go into Gaza very quickly, very aggressively, without a plan 221 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 15: for how to manage the conflict long term. And what 222 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 15: you've seen happen over the last week or so with 223 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 15: a lot of trips by US officials is a gradual 224 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 15: sort of toning down of some of that immediate reaction, 225 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 15: but potentially girding for a longer conflict in the long run. 226 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 15: So you don't know when it's going to start. 227 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 8: I mean, it's kind of ironic, isn't it. 228 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: Daniel? 229 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 8: After the US President had suggested that perhaps it isn't 230 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 8: the best thing to have a twenty year war following, 231 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 8: you know, an event. 232 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, it's a good question, and I think 233 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 15: that I don't know that there's going to be any 234 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 15: quick resolution to this on flip. That's been going on 235 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 15: for many, many years and will continue for many many more, 236 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 15: I'm sure. But in terms of the actual ground incursion 237 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 15: that Israel was planning, you know, we know that the 238 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 15: Israeli ambassadors to the US has said they're not planning 239 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 15: to reoccupy Gaza. That wasn't on the table as a 240 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 15: few days ago. So I don't know how long it 241 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 15: will actually last, but it will certainly be something that's 242 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 15: not going to be easy to get into or get 243 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 15: easy to get or easy to get out of. 244 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: I feel for you, Daniel, because you have absolutely no 245 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: idea what we're going to ask you about. We just 246 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: want to bomb you with questions. Is how we all learn, 247 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: and you know, don't be afraid to say it's a naive. 248 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 2: Like my next question, which is how much do we 249 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: know about what President Biden will say at eight o'clock. 250 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 15: Well, it's a very interesting question, Brian, because if you'd 251 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 15: ask me that a week ago, I would say, well, 252 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 15: he's going to talk about Israel, obviously, but you know, 253 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 15: the White House is said he's going to talk about 254 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 15: both Israel and Russia. So that's an indication that, you know, 255 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 15: his attention is being pooled in a lot of different directions, 256 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 15: and how he'll be able to address both of those 257 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 15: at the same time. I'm not sure, but. 258 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 8: Sounds like thematically he wants to talk about democracies versus 259 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 8: non democracies or something like that to maybe plack hate 260 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 8: some other, you know, interests. 261 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 15: It's possible. I mean, I think that's I think that's 262 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 15: a safe bet. But you know, again, it's it's going 263 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 15: to be a difficult you know, it's going to just 264 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 15: be a difficult situation going forward for the next, uh, 265 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 15: you know, next foreseeable period. 266 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, your morning brief on the 267 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: story's making news from Hong Kong to Singapore and Wall Street. 268 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every day on Apple, Spotify, 269 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 270 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each day on Bloomberg eleven 271 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to 272 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: one in Washington, Bloomberg one O six one in Boston, 273 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: and Bloomberg nine sixty in San Francisco. 274 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 275 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
