00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Lisa Matteo and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the latest efforts for a piece

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: deal between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump called the Vladimir

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 3: Putin and urged the Russian leader to begin making plans

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: for a summit with Vladimir Zlynsky.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 4: The proposal, which.

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: President Trump pitched as a one on one summit between

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 3: Ukraine and Russia's leaders, would be followed by a tri

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: later gathering involving all three. Here's Lensky, President Trump, UK

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: Prime Minister kir Stormer, and French President Macrone at the

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: White House. Is heard right here on Bloomberg Radio yesterday.

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 5: We need to stove this word to stop Russia, and

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 5: we need support American and European.

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 6: Batist muld Awa best for this.

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 7: If everything works out well today, we'll have a try, Lad,

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 7: and I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending.

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 8: The war when we do that.

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 9: The Coalition of Willing Countries that's thirty countries already working

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 9: together on security guarantees, will now work with the US

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 9: on those guarantees.

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 10: My hope is that the United States do the most

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 10: possible because that's what will allow us to alleviate the

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 10: burden on Europe, and that the United States also confirm

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 10: its commitments because that was a big question mark.

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: Well, that was French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer,

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: Presidents Trump and Zelensky speaking at the White House yesterday.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: Only so Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hopeful negotiations

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: will begin between Russia and Ukraine. He spoke to Fox

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 2: News after the White House gathering.

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 11: Now, the President suggested that Zelensky and Putin meet, so

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 11: we're working on that now to try to set that

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 11: up for them to meet somewhere, which again would be unprecedented,

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 11: and then if that goes well, hopefully the next meeting

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 11: will be a meeting between Presidents Putin, Trump and Zelensky

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 11: where we hope to finalize a deal. We're not there yet,

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 11: but that's what we're aiming towards, and that's one of

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 11: the things that was discussed today is how to get

40
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 11: to that point.

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, speaking of Fun News, European officials say they

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: expect another virtual meeting with President Trump as soon as

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: today to discuss what security guarantees they could collectively offered

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: to Kiev.

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: Okay, and it still remains to be seen if when

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 3: Zelenski and Putin will meet. Stephanie Baker is a senior

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: writer at Bloomberg News and also author of Punishing Putin

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Inside the Global Economic War to bring Down Russia.

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 9: What Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has been saying

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 9: is that that that talks to set that meeting up

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 9: are actively in the works. Putin has tried to avoid

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 9: this by saying certain conditions need to be met before

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 9: they sit down together, and those conditions are really a

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 9: buzzword for that Ukraine needs to give up territory or

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 9: agree to give up territory, which Zelensky's not going to do.

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 8: So I think that.

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 9: There are hurdles to setting up that meeting, and it

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 9: does look to me that Putin may be playing for

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 9: time again. But you know, maybe under the pressure from Trump,

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 9: you know, Putin will indeed agree to sit down, But

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 9: I think he's going to demand an awful lot in

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 9: the talks ahead of time Well Bloomberg.

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: Stephanie Baker now German Chancellor Fridrick Meertzi said that a

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: possible Putin's and Lensky summit. Well, that could take place

65
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: within two weeks.

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: Lisa, the Trump administration is weighing taking a ten percent

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: steak in Intel, which would make the US government the

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: chip maker's largest shareholder. Sources say the plan could involve

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: converting Intel's ten point nine billion dollars in ships at

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: grants into equity. Begin more from Bloomberg's Ryan Gould.

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: I think this is as much about ensuring Intel's longevity

72
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: in terms of what the United States government thinks of

73
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: as national security. I think this is an evolving situation,

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: and we should caution that these plans are still very

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: much in flux. They're very fluid.

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ryan Gould. At Intel's current market value, a ten

77
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: percent steak in the shipmaker would be worth about ten

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: and a half billion dollars.

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: Well, meanwhile, SoftBank has agreed to buy two billion dollars

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: in Intel. Now, it's a move that extends a Japanese

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: company's US investment effort and offers a vote of confidence

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: in the struggling chip maker. Shares of Intel there up

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: about six percent in early trading.

84
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: And Lisa, there is more major news this morning involving

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: the chip sector Routers is reporting in videos developing an

86
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: AI chips specifically for China, which will be more powerful

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: than the H twenty model. Reuters says in video hopes

88
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: to deliver samples to Chinese clients for testing as early

89
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 2: as next month. However, US regulatory approval is not guaranteed.

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: And presidents from sweeping tariffs have royal markets, unnerved trade

91
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: partners and provoke criticism from leading economists.

92
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: But there is an upside.

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: The levies will help the US maintain its fiscal health now.

94
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 3: That's according to S and P Global Ratings. The credit

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: rating company has affirmed it's a double A plus long

96
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: term rating for the US, in part because it thinks

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: tariff revenues will reduce the fiscal hit of a recent

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: tax and spending bill on Lisa.

99
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the MA markets now, where futures are

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: a little changed ahead of the day's session, and Morgan

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Stanley Chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson says he remains

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: bullish on the markets.

103
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 12: A sixty twelve month basis. I actually feel better today

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 12: than I have in quite a while on the fundamentals. Now,

105
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 12: the stock market is already dis kind of a lot

106
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 12: of this. This is, you know, stocks trade ahead of

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 12: the of the data, so you know we are going

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 12: to have some sort of consolidation. We've been running about

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 12: that too, probably in the third quarter at some point,

110
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 12: but we'd be buyers to that. That's the main message

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 12: is that we think we're sort of beginning a new

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 12: bull market in April. We're not going anywhere near those lows.

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: Morgan Stanley chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson has a

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: year end price target of sixty five hundred for the

115
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: yes and P five hundred. The index closed at sixty

116
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: four forty nine yesterday.

117
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: Well earnings remain in focus.

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: This morning, Karen, we start to get the latest quarterly

119
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: numbers from the country's biggest retailers. This morning, we'll hear

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: from Home Depot. Bloomberg's Tom Busby has a preview.

121
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 13: Home Depot expected to post a rise in comparable sales

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 13: despite worries about lower spending on major home improvement projects

123
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 13: and fears about tariff driven price hikes. A big discussion

124
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 13: on the call would be a potential rate cut in

125
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 13: September and what the implications are for the retailer. Bloomberg

126
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 13: consensus calls for comp sales rise one point three nine percent,

127
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 13: with total revenue a forty five point four to nine

128
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 13: billion on adjusted earnings per share of four dollars seventy

129
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 13: four cents. Tom buzzby Bloomberg Radio, All right.

130
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Tom, thank you. The big economic event this week takes

131
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,920

134
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: in Jackson Hole covering Powell and the Fed.

135
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 7: He can lay out the issues I think, the fact

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 7: that they don't know whether it's inflation or jobs that

137
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 7: are going to be a bigger problem, and he'll probably

138
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 7: do that, and he may talk about the framework review.

139
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 7: The idea that he would come out and give the

140
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 7: markets the heads up that they are going to cut

141
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 7: in September as he did last year is probably a

142
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 7: bridge too far for them.

143
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Michael McKee is a key part of Bloomberg's Jackson Hole coverage.

144

00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 6: Felt a long way to go in this and you know,

198
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,040

199

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: We'll after meeting with Russia's President Vladimir Putin Ukraine Vladimir

235
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: zelenskape Usident Trump is now moving to set up talks

236
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: between the two leaders. So here with the very latest

237
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: on the developments is Tina Fordham. She's found a r

238
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: at Fordham Global Foresight. Tina, thanks for joining me this morning.

239
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: You are the expert in the field of geopolitical risks,

240
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: so I have to start right off the bat by

241
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: asking you. You know Putin has been reluctant to meet

242
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: with Zelensky. Is this meeting? Is it going to take place?

243
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 15: Thanks Lisa, So Putin does not want to be caught

244
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 15: dead in a trilateral construct between himself, President Trump and

245
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 15: Ukrainian President Zelenski, and we'll like the stonewall to prevent

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 15: this from happening. But he's going to find it challenging

247
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 15: because President Trump is very keen to make this happen,

248
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 15: and of course it is the logical next step in

249
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 15: these negotiations.

250
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: So what would be discussed during this is it mainly

251
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: territorial issues.

252
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 15: Well, we don't really have a lot of insight into

253
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 15: how President Trump conducts these meetings. I mean, there is

254
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 15: an argument that says, you know, his unconventional approach to diplomacy,

255
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 15: which is much less constrained by diplomatic protocol for example,

256
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 15: you know, could result in some kind of breakthroughs in

257
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 15: just you know, knocking heads and getting things done. But

258
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 15: as President Trump himself said during the televised bit of

259
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 15: his conversation with European leaders, he thought that the Russia

260
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 15: Ukraine conflict would be the easiest to solve the of

261
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 15: the many that he's turned his attention to. And it's

262
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 15: in fact really complex, and that gets to the heart

263
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 15: of the disconnect really between his transactional approach and how

264
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 15: The fact is that the seeds of any potential next

265
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 15: crisis or alternatively to create a durable and lasting piece,

266
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 15: are going to result from the terms of this deal.

267
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 15: And if we continue to think in terms of you know,

268
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 15: this liver of territory in eastern Ukraine, that the don

269
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 15: Bass as being inconsequential, we're going to fail to miss

270
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 15: the point, which is, how do you create a peace

271
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 15: deal between Russia and Ukraine that isn't simply post postponing

272
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 15: a Russian attack to go back and get what they

273
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 15: failed in this latest incursion.

274
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: Tina, I want to talk about the meeting yesterday. The

275
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: tone between President Trump and Zelensky yesterday notably improved from

276
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: the Ukrainian friends last visit to Washington.

277
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: Can you talk more about what was different this time around?

278
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 15: Well, Zilensky clearly learned lessons from that disastrous February meeting,

279
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 15: which you know resulted in a in a shouting match

280
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 15: between Vice President vance President Trump and President Zelenski. You

281
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 15: could see, you know, Ukrainian reporters in the in the

282
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 15: press conference in Tea years it was a spectacle for

283
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 15: the ages Uh and Zelensky couldn't risk that happening again.

284
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 15: Of course, he's had subsequent meetings with President Trump since

285
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 15: the February Oval Office showdown, most notably on the sidelines

286
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 15: of the Pope's funeral in the Vatican, and what was

287
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 15: evident is a much improved, almost shockingly better rapport between

288
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 15: Zielensky and Trump. Some minor details that that underscore the

289
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 15: preparation and the thought that it went into this on

290
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 15: Zelensky's part, you know, not just wearing the black jacket

291
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,239
Speaker 15: he wore to the Pope's funeral rather than the military

292
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 15: fatigues which Silensky wears as a sign that his country

293
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 15: is at war.

294
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 6: You know.

295
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 15: But he he joked with the same reporter who had

296
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 15: dressed him down no pun intended for his attire, you know,

297
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 15: on the last press conference, and he joked with him

298
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 15: and said, yeah, you're wearing the same suit I changed

299
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 15: and you didn't.

300
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: And then you know.

301
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 15: Which was which was really you know, added some much

302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 15: needed levity to the discussions.

303
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: I was also touched.

304
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 15: By, you know, the the gesture where, uh, first the

305
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 15: First Lady of Ukraine returned Milania Trump's letter to President Trump.

306
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 15: She the First Lady of Ukraine, responded with her own

307
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 15: letter to Milania, and those kinds of things really work

308
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 15: with President Trump, he appreciates these kinds of gestures.
