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.
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with the event political watchers have been
Speaker 2: waiting for for weeks and the candidates have been preparing
Speaker 2: for for days. The first debate between President Biden and
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is just hours away. Trump is already setting expectations.
Speaker 3: Am I going to get affair?
Speaker 4: Probably not, but it would be very good for CNN.
Speaker 5: They're having a lot of ratings problems.
Speaker 6: I think it would be very good for CNN.
Speaker 2: Actually, now, the former president phoned into a black owned
Speaker 2: barber shop in Atlanta, the city where the debate is
Speaker 2: being held. Tonight, at CNN Studios, we have team coverage
Speaker 2: of the CNN presidential debate, beginning with Bloomberg's Joe Matthew,
Speaker 2: who says, this event's happening much earlier than usual in
Speaker 2: the election cycle.
Speaker 7: There was clearly an effort here or thought by the
Speaker 7: Biden campaign that we do this early. Old Donald Trump's
Speaker 7: bluff on whether he even wanted to debate, and by
Speaker 7: the way, who knows if everyone shows up still, I'll
Speaker 7: believe it when I see it, but also to get
Speaker 7: to the age issues. They want to knock this thing
Speaker 7: down before we get into the throes of conventions.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Joe Matthew says the debate could lead to missteps
Speaker 2: for Biden or Trump. They are both the oldest major
Speaker 2: party candidates to compete for the White House.
Speaker 8: Well, Nathan.
Speaker 1: The return to the debate stage for these two candidates
Speaker 1: comes with new rules, and Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has that
Speaker 1: part of the story.
Speaker 9: The rules have been drafted by CNN and agreed to
Speaker 9: by both campaigns. First, moderators Jake Tapper, Dana Bash and
Speaker 9: their control room will have control of the mics, and
Speaker 9: the mics will be muted unless it is the candidate's
Speaker 9: turned to speak. Second, there will be no live studio
Speaker 9: audience to react to what traditionally have been called moments
Speaker 9: in the past debates. Biden won the coin flip, meaning
Speaker 9: he will stand at the lectern to the speaker's right,
Speaker 9: and Trump will get the closing statement minutes with two
Speaker 9: commercial breaks. Ed Baxter Bloomberg.
Speaker 1: Radio, All Righted, thanks, so, we invite you to join
Speaker 1: us for our special coverage of the CNN presidential debate.
Speaker 1: It begins at eight pm Wall Street Time with a
Speaker 1: special edition of Balance of Power with Joe Matthew and
Speaker 1: Kaylee Lines in Washington and David Gura in Atlanta. Listen
Speaker 1: to the debate on Bloomberg Radio or watch it on
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Television.
Speaker 2: Karen, There's also a highly watched political showdown overseas. Keir
Speaker 2: Starmer and Rieschee Sunak had their final televised leaders debate
Speaker 2: of the UK general election campaign. Economic proposals featured heavily
Speaker 2: during the BBC event, as Labor leader Starmer set out
Speaker 2: his party's plans on taxes.
Speaker 10: We have set out in our manifesto all of our plans,
Speaker 10: but we will not be increasing income tax, national insurance
Speaker 10: or VAT.
Speaker 2: Kir Starmer also labeled the Prime Minister as out of
Speaker 2: touch with voters, while Reeschi Sunak retorted by questioning the
Speaker 2: clarity of Labour's own fiscal proposals.
Speaker 9: I've set out my plans clearly and I appreciate actually
Speaker 9: that everyone's going to agree with me. Kissed Arma is
Speaker 9: not being straight with you about his plans to raise
Speaker 9: your taxes.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's leadership.
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Sunak also repeated previous claims that a labor
Speaker 2: government would raise the tax burden, which Starmer said was false.
Speaker 1: MOI turned to the markets now, Nathan, and futures are
Speaker 1: lower following disappointing earnings from a high tech flyer. We
Speaker 1: get the latest from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, good morning,
Speaker 1: and Karen.
Speaker 11: Micron Technology shares down six percent pre market, the largest
Speaker 11: US maker of memory chips, delivering an outlook roughly in
Speaker 11: line with the average analyst estimate. Whe they're being punished
Speaker 11: for not outperforming the elevated expectations. The company says fourth
Speaker 11: quarter sales going to be as high as seven point
Speaker 11: eight billion dollars. Micron had rallied sixty seven percent this
Speaker 11: year before yesterday's close, lifted by expectations, is going to
Speaker 11: be one of the main beneficiaries of AI spending. Their
Speaker 11: chips stand out for their memory capabilities for AI chips altogether.
Speaker 11: Big jumps at market value been vulnerable to rapid correction
Speaker 11: shown by Nvidia earlier this week, when it shares entered
Speaker 11: correction territory on Monday before bouncing back. I'm in New York.
Speaker 11: I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, John, thank you, were also watching shares of
Speaker 2: International Paper. They are down fifteen percent in early trading.
Speaker 2: Brazil's Susano says it is ending its takeover pursuit of IP.
Speaker 2: Susano says it was never able to draw the company
Speaker 2: into serious engagement and wasn't willing to increase its offer.
Speaker 2: The decision removes a complication to International Papers plan to
Speaker 2: acquire D. S.
Speaker 12: Smith.
Speaker 1: Funny Than shares of Levi also taking a big hit
Speaker 1: this morning. They're down more than fifteen percent. The dena
Speaker 1: maker reported sales in its latest quarter that slightly missed expectations,
Speaker 1: underscoring Wall Street's high expectations for the company, and.
Speaker 2: A big retailer overseas is taking it on the chin
Speaker 2: as well. This morning, Karen's Shares of H and Them
Speaker 2: are down thirteen percent. The fashion company reported weaker than
Speaker 2: expected profit for the second quarter and also said sales
Speaker 2: slumped at the start of June as poor weather kept
Speaker 2: shoppers at home.
Speaker 1: Well, we're also following bank stocks this morning, Nathan. This
Speaker 1: after the country's biggest banks passed the Federal Reserve's annual
Speaker 1: stress test, and we get the details with Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.
Speaker 3: It paves the way for higher shareholder payouts as the
Speaker 3: industry awaits a water down version of a separate proposal
Speaker 3: for stricter capital rules. The FED said each firm stayed
Speaker 3: above its minimum capital requirements during a hypothetical recession. Altogether,
Speaker 3: the group would take nearly six hundred and eighty five
Speaker 3: billion dollars in losses, driving a larger drop in capital
Speaker 3: than in last year's scenario, but quote within the range
Speaker 3: of recent stress tests. This round of the annual exam,
Speaker 3: a product of the two thousand and eight financial crisis,
Speaker 3: included thirty one banks, each with at least one hundred
Speaker 3: billion in assets. In New York, Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 13: All right, Charlie.
Speaker 14: Thanks.
Speaker 2: In New Jersey, budget committees in the state Senate and
Speaker 2: Assembly have approved a tax hike on the largest companies
Speaker 2: doing business in the Garden States, expected to get a
Speaker 2: floor vote later this week. More on that from Bloomberg's
Speaker 2: Doug Prisner.
Speaker 13: Leaders in the Democratic controlled legislature agree to the so
Speaker 13: called corporate Transit Fee. The aim is to help fund
Speaker 13: New Jersey's financially stressed public transportation system. It was pitched
Speaker 13: earlier this year in Governor Murphy's state budget, a two
Speaker 13: and a half percent fee will be added to the
Speaker 13: state's nine percent corporate tax rate on businesses with New
Speaker 13: Jersey net taxable income above ten million dollars. Now, around
Speaker 13: six hundred of the wealthiest companies names like Walmart and
Speaker 13: Amazon are expected to pay the fee. It's forecast to
Speaker 13: generate roughly a billion dollars in revenue annually in New York.
Speaker 13: I'm Doug Prisner, Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: Right, Doug, thank you all. Turning to the economy. Now,
Speaker 1: we are just one day away from the Fed's preferred
Speaker 1: inflation rating, the PCEE de Flator. Despite the results, Dominque Constam,
Speaker 1: the head of Macro Strategy and Mizoo Security, says the
Speaker 1: Fed should start cutting interest rates.
Speaker 15: I would definitely be in the camp of, you know,
Speaker 15: cutting you know, two or three times this year and
Speaker 15: then you know, and then and then sort of adding
Speaker 15: another sort of hundred base point easing at least, you know,
Speaker 15: in the sort of first half of next year. I mean,
Speaker 15: policy is restrictive. Inflation does look some to me as
Speaker 15: is under control, and it's you know, the last thing
Speaker 15: you want is for to fall below target.
Speaker 1: A zero security is dominant constant. Bloomberg Economics expects May's
Speaker 1: monthly core PCE inflation reading to be the slowest yet
Speaker 1: this year. And it's time now for a look at
Speaker 1: some of the other stories making news in New York
Speaker 1: and around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's
Speaker 1: Michael Barr. Michael, good morning, Good.
Speaker 14: Morning, Karen. It was a rough travel day at airports
Speaker 14: in New York and Washington, d C. Several major airports
Speaker 14: along the East Coast had to pause flights because of
Speaker 14: severe weather. Departures to Newark, Kennedy and LaGuardia airports were
Speaker 14: grounded until early this morning because of thunderstorms in the
Speaker 14: Washington area. Departures to the Baltimore, Dulles and Reagan airports
Speaker 14: were grounded. Last night, in Bolivia, chanting crowds led fireworks
Speaker 14: outside the presidential Palace as rebel soldiers dispersed after a
Speaker 14: failed coup attempt against the nation's socialist government. President Luis
Speaker 14: Arse thanked supporters from the balcony of the same building,
Speaker 14: into which an army unit had earlier driven a tank
Speaker 14: in an attack. It is likely to bolster his embattled
Speaker 14: administration as it grapples with shortages of fuel and hard currency.
Speaker 14: The US Supreme Court is poised to allow abortions in
Speaker 14: medical emergencies in Idaho, according to a copy of an
Speaker 14: opinion that was briefly posted on the court's website. The
Speaker 14: decision would reinstate a lower court order that insured hospitals
Speaker 14: in the state could perform emergency abortions to protect the
Speaker 14: health of the mother. First Lady, Doctor Joe Biden, hosted
Speaker 14: a Pride Month celebration at the White House. The First
Speaker 14: Lady says Pride is a celebration and a declaration to
Speaker 14: not be silenced.
Speaker 16: I'm so happy to be here with my daughter as
Speaker 16: we celebrate your families, those families that you're born into,
Speaker 16: the ones you build, and the ones you choose.
Speaker 14: Hundreds of guests were on the South lawn for the
Speaker 14: event that also included live music. Heading to the US
Speaker 14: some VIPs very important pandas they are on their way
Speaker 14: to the San Diego Zoo from China as part of
Speaker 14: a thirty year alliance with the China Wildlife Conservation Association.
Speaker 14: The two giant pandas were often a send off ceremony
Speaker 14: Yesterday in the Chinese province of Shishwan, and it was
Speaker 14: attended by a number of Chinese and American dignitaries, including
Speaker 14: San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria.
Speaker 8: On behalf of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, and
Speaker 8: every San Diego is a profound honor to be entrusted
Speaker 8: with the care and conservation of these two giant handas
Speaker 8: Jun Chuan in Singtow.
Speaker 14: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you
Speaker 14: want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Michael Barr, and
Speaker 14: this is Bloomberg Karen.
Speaker 1: BP's all right, Michael Barr, thank you, and it is
Speaker 1: time now for the Bloomberg Spores update. Here's John stash Hour.
Speaker 3: John, Good morning, morning, Karen.
Speaker 4: Pretty amazing how the tables have recently turned in New
Speaker 4: York baseball. Mets are hot Yankees or not. It was
Speaker 4: on full display in the two game Subway series at Cityfield,
Speaker 4: Mets one and both getting the sweep with a twelve
Speaker 4: to two route the night after hitting four.
Speaker 14: Home runs, they hit three more.
Speaker 4: Harrison Vader again homeward in both games against his old team,
Speaker 4: Francisco Alvarez, three hits. He had a two run homer later,
Speaker 4: Tyrone Taylor a three run shot. Mets had won fifteen
Speaker 4: of their last nineteen. They are at five hundred for
Speaker 4: the first time, is with May tenth. Their manager is
Speaker 4: Carlos Mendoza.
Speaker 17: We wear a few weeks ago, you know, to be
Speaker 17: in this position now. He's important knowing that we still
Speaker 17: got work to do, and we got long ways to go,
Speaker 17: you know. But from theater, the same approach, one day
Speaker 17: at a time, one game at a time, one series
Speaker 17: out of time.
Speaker 4: So the Yankees a little more than two weeks ago,
Speaker 4: they had played twenty series and only lost two. Since then,
Speaker 4: they played four series, lost them all three and nine
Speaker 4: in their last twelve games, and only bright Spot continues
Speaker 4: to be Aaron Judge. He hit his thirtieth home run.
Speaker 4: He's ahead of his face from two years ago when
Speaker 4: he hit sixty two. The Orioles ended a five game
Speaker 4: losing straight four to two over Cleveland, and Baltimore's only
Speaker 4: a game behind the Yanks. The NBA drafts first round
Speaker 4: held in Brooklyn. They'll have Round two tonight. French teenagers
Speaker 4: led the way the year after Victor Webbinyama went first overall.
Speaker 4: Atlanta began the night taking Zachary Rezache Washington followed with
Speaker 4: Alex starras seven foot or another youngster from France went
Speaker 4: sixth overall, and the Knicks took an eighteen year old
Speaker 4: from France, a Liot. The bigger story for the Knicks
Speaker 4: the ESPN report that oj Nnobi is staying in New
Speaker 4: York after opting out but coming to free agent. He'll
Speaker 4: get five years, two hundred and twelve million. With Onanobi
Speaker 4: in the lineup. Last season, the Knick's record was twenty
Speaker 4: six and six. They named the roster for the US
Speaker 4: Women's Olympic soccer squad and I'll long time start the team.
Speaker 4: Alex Morgan, now thirty four, got cut. John Stashewert Bloomberg Sports.
Speaker 13: Can I neither.

Speaker 12: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 12: Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager. Willing last minute preparation for the first
Speaker 2: debate between President Biden and former President Trump's going to
Speaker 2: have to happen in the next few hours. The rematch
Speaker 2: begins tonight at nine pm Wall Street time of the
Speaker 2: CNN presidential debate and ahead of it. We're joined by
Speaker 2: Tina Fordham, the founder and geopolitical strategist at Fordham Global Foresight. Tina,
Speaker 2: good morning. I don't think we've had any two better
Speaker 2: known candidates heading into a debate than the tour they
Speaker 2: were going to meet tonight. How much could this debate
Speaker 2: really change voters' minds?
Speaker 5: Well more than debates typically do.
Speaker 6: Right, So, first of all, the timing US presidential debate
Speaker 6: comes earlier in the cycle than normal, and there is
Speaker 6: more writing on this contest where we have so many
Speaker 6: registered independents and so many.
Speaker 5: Voters who dislike both candidates.
Speaker 2: When you have that level of dislike, though, I mean,
Speaker 2: with the coming this early, I mean, can this debate
Speaker 2: really have an impact on how voters come down in November?
Speaker 5: Well, they definitely can.
Speaker 6: This is the first time we'll see these two candidates
Speaker 6: side by side.
Speaker 5: Since twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: I think the level of the narrative is such that
Speaker 6: if Joe Biden manages to stand up and be sentient,
Speaker 6: he's winning. You know, such has been the low expectations
Speaker 6: for him, and the bar is lower for Trump. He's
Speaker 6: a reality TV star, of course, and he will get
Speaker 6: I think a huge points for making any kind of policy.
Speaker 5: Discussion that's you know, that's that's.
Speaker 6: Sane and credible, but it'll be a form of entertainment,
Speaker 6: especially for political junkies like me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these debates tend to be that way. I mean,
Speaker 2: we always look for the style points, But is there
Speaker 2: a chance for substance to break through in a format
Speaker 2: where the mics are going to be cut off when
Speaker 2: they're not talking and there's not going to be an audience.
Speaker 5: So those are two unprecedented changes.
Speaker 6: Trump of course thrives on his studio audience, and that's
Speaker 6: where there is room for, you know, surprises on the
Speaker 6: upside and the downside the cutting off of mics.
Speaker 5: They both need to keep their cool.
Speaker 6: Remember in the last debate, Joe Biden was heard muttering
Speaker 6: under his breath.
Speaker 5: Shut up man.
Speaker 6: You know. Will they get on each other's nerves or
Speaker 6: will they talk about the issues that matter most to Americans,
Speaker 6: which is the economy and.
Speaker 2: Inflation and so on those issues in particular. Could we
Speaker 2: see this as a market moving event depending on what
Speaker 2: kinds of points the candidates make this evening.
Speaker 6: I think one of them would have to suffer an
Speaker 6: extreme physical event for it to be market moving, and
Speaker 6: not that anyone wishes for that, but I think when
Speaker 6: we have such high disapproval ratings for both candidates and
Speaker 6: so many independents who dislike both, so called double haters,
Speaker 6: it's important.
Speaker 5: Also the fact that the debate is taking.
Speaker 6: Place before the conventions for the parties of July for
Speaker 6: Republicans in August for Democrats. There is some chance for
Speaker 6: what I call the Democrats kind of fantasy outcome to transpire,
Speaker 6: which is that if Biden looks like he's really not
Speaker 6: up to the job, could he be somehow convinced to
Speaker 6: stand down.
Speaker 5: I consider that very low probability, but it's not zero.
