This is 96 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 10: an attempt to get the goods through customs. This is 97 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 10: an attempt to deal with cities that are welcoming cities 98 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 10: known as sanctuary cities, and with immigration. 99 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: Former Chicago Mayor Ram Emmanuel appeared on CNN's State of 100 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: the Union.

They were the words investors seemed to 193 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: want to hear from FED Chair j Powell at Jackson Hole. 194 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 5: With policy and restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the 195 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 5: shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance. 196 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: Still may adjust, does not mean will adjust, And even 197 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: Powell is saying the economies handed him and other policymakers 198 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: a challenging situation before the Fed's next decision in a 199 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: little more than three weeks. For more, we're joined by 200 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Jill Desis Jill. Good morning, So I guess the 201 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: door is a jar to a September cut, but we've 202 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: got quite a bit more data before we see just 203 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: how wide that door is. 204 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: Good morning, Yes, that's right. 205 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 8: Good morning, Nathan. I think you know, obviously what you 206 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 8: just heard from Powell, there is a pretty clear signal 207 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 8: that they are thinking about cutting. But I would point 208 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 8: out that this wasn't as clear of a sign as 209 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 8: we got, say last year's conference, when you know, he 210 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 8: opened the door to rate cuts last year, really kind 211 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 8: of kicking off that cycle this time around. The FED 212 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 8: still is battling a really difficult issue with its dual 213 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 8: mandate of jobs versus inflation here, and I think we 214 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 8: have heard that, certainly from other FED speakers at Jackson 215 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 8: Hole of the last few days. You know, we heard 216 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 8: you know, from the FED president, Chicago Fed President Austin 217 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 8: Golesby about how Fed's looking at what he described as 218 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 8: cross currents. It's in a really difficult environment. I think, 219 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 8: you know, Luckily for the FED, they still have a 220 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 8: few more data points to consider before we actually get 221 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 8: to that September meeting. I think you mentioned PCE already, 222 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 8: you know, upcoming that's a really favored gage of inflation 223 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 8: that the FED is looking at. We'll get another jobs report, 224 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 8: we'll get another CPI print, but it really does indicate that, 225 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 8: you know, I mean, inflation is still elevated, you know, 226 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 8: has been sticky in some ways. But you know, we 227 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 8: have had some other concerning data recently, and certainly I 228 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 8: think those jobs revisions are from a few weeks ago, certainly, 229 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 8: and everybody's mind still right absolutely. 230 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: I mean, we've had so much focus on the labor 231 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: market you have to wonder whether that core PCEE data 232 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: that's coming up on Friday could potentially be another pivot 233 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 3: point here shifting the focus of the FED back to inflation. 234 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think you know, again, you know 235 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 8: certain I mean, the FED is you know, Powell, other 236 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 8: members of the FED have certainly said how much their 237 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 8: data dependent in the past. I'm sure they're looking really 238 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 8: really closely at these kinds of things. But it also 239 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 8: point out that the other pressure points, you know, depending 240 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 8: on how much they really choose to acknowledge it, is 241 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 8: that you've got right now an active White House administration 242 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 8: that has really been pushing for cuts, and you know, 243 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 8: we've got Donald Trump himself who's you know, tried to 244 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 8: apply that. You know, Powell has actually set out right 245 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 8: that he thinks Powell has been late to this and 246 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 8: that's been a heavy point of criticism that's levied by 247 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 8: the White House, and so you've got that kind of 248 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 8: swirling all in the background as well. 249 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, we heard certainly from ECB President Christine Leguard as 250 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 3: well just yesterday warning against the idea of threatening central 251 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 3: bank independence. Is there a sense that those comments that 252 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: we heard from Chairman Powell ad Jackson Hole were in 253 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: some respects driven by the political pressure he's under. Is 254 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: that sort of in the background as well. 255 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's kind of hard to ignore that, right, 256 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 8: and the atmosphere is a result, you know, feels very tense. 257 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 8: I mean, look, Jackson Hole is you know, obviously sort 258 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 8: of a unique situation because we've also got, as you mentioned, 259 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 8: other central bank peers from around the world that you know, 260 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 8: really are kind of backing the Fed's independence, kind of 261 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 8: highlighting that. I mean, you know, you had Laguard and 262 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 8: others that have certainly held that up both at Jackson 263 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 8: Hole and in the past. I think that you know, 264 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 8: obviously Powell was in a very difficult situation. But at 265 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 8: the same time, I mean, you know, pending, you know, 266 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 8: whatever happens, He's really only supposed to be in his 267 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 8: chair for you know, until part way through twenty twenty six, 268 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 8: and so he's hasn't really seemed like he has any 269 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 8: intention of leaving the chair early, no matter what Trump 270 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 8: is kind of thrown around in the past. But yes, 271 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 8: I mean, it obviously does put him and the rest 272 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 8: of the FED in a tough situation. 273 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: And a tough SAG situation also with a little more 274 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: descent showing up in some of these decisions as well. 275 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: Just last month, we had two what's the risk of 276 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 3: more fracturing at the next meeting, got about thirty seconds left. 277 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I think look, there are obviously some pretty 278 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 8: clear divisions among policy makers, and we had Powell himself 279 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 8: point out that this has been a very challenging situation. 280 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 8: I think we've certainly heard that from other members of 281 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 8: the FED, and does just kind of go to show that, 282 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 8: you know, I'm sure investors are already looking at this, 283 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 8: but we'll be looking at some of these upcoming prints 284 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 8: PCE inflation jobs just for even more clues as to 285 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 8: whether the FED is going to be unified, sort of 286 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 8: presenting whatever September's decision may be. 287 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 288 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 289 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 290 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 291 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 292 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 293 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 294 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 295 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: Sirius XM Channel one twenty one. 296 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 297 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Winterfaces. 298 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
