Here 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today. 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 3: Karen, we once again begin with new developments in the 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 3: global trade war. This morning, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman 6 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: says Beijing is not having trade talks with the US 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: and the White House should not mislead the public about talks. Yesterday, 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 3: President Trump said hit his administration was talking with China 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: on trade. We get more from Bloomberg's Rosalind mathieson. 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 4: It's interesting to see the denials between them about whether 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 4: they're having conversations, because it seems as if at least 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 4: some kind of dialogue is going on, even at a 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 4: much lower level, and those back channels might be operating. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 4: But getting from where we are now to something tangible 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 4: is another question in Tylie. So even if the red 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 4: trick is done down, getting to a point where we've 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 4: got a proper framework on tariffs from here between China 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 4: and the US or other, you know, concessions that either 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: side makes you know, that's very much yet to be seen. 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: It's Bloomberg's Rosalind Vathis and reporting and in another development, 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 3: Bloomberg News has learned China is considering suspending it's one 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five percent tariff on some US imports, 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: including medical equipment and industrial chemicals like ethane. 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: Well Nathan, Japan is trying to strike a trade deal 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: with the US to avoid tariffs, but doesn't want to 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: be part of a US led economic block against China, 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: It's largest trading partner. According to current and former Japanese 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: government officials, Japan is prioritizing its own interests and has 29 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: conveyed China that it doesn't fully align with the US 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: on ship related exports and semiconductor restrictions. 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 5: Well. 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: Meantime, Karen Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the US and 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: South Korea could reach an agreement of understanding on trade 34 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: as soon as next week. Besson talked to reporters at 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: an Oval Office meeting between President Trump and the Primeter 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: of Norway. 37 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 6: We had a very successful bilateral meeting with the public 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 6: of South Korea today. We may be moving faster than 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 6: I thought, and we will be talking technical terms as 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 6: early as next week, as we reach an agreement on 41 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 6: understanding as soon as next week. So South Koreans came early, 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 6: They came with their a game, and we will see 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 6: if they follow through on that. 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and South Korea's finance minister says, 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: the two sides raiming for a deal by early July. 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 3: That would be before the ninety day reprieve from higher 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: tariffs ends. 48 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, as the trade war goes on, there's a 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: new analysis of the impact tariffs could have on Americans 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: across the board, and we get the detls with the 51 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Kimberly Adams. 52 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 7: They'd hit lower income consumers the hardest. That's according to 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 7: a report from the left leaning Institute on Taxation and 54 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 7: Economic Policy. It finds if the tariffs now in effect 55 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 7: stay in place next year, it would amount to a 56 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 7: six point two percent tax increase on those making twenty 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 7: eight thousand, six hundred dollars or less. That compares to 58 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 7: one point seven percent for the wealthiest earners making close 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 7: to nine hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Economists have warned 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 7: tariffs will raise prices for everyone, but low income families 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 7: are likely to lose more because they tend to spend 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 7: more on food and other necessities. Kim Berdley Adams Bloomberg Radio. 63 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: Hi Kim, thank you, and FED Governor Christopher Waller is 64 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 3: warning that firms could begin laying off more workers if 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: the Trump administration reinstates aggressive tariffs. 66 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 8: It will wouldn't surprise me that you might start seeing 67 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 8: more layoffs tick up in the unemployment rate going forward. 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 8: If the big tariffs are particular, come back on the 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 8: smaller tariff world of ten to twelve percent, most of 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 8: our they can deal with it. But if I see 71 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 8: a significant drop in the labor market, then the employment 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 8: side of the mandate I think is important and we 73 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 8: step in. 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller made those comments in an 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: interview with Bloomberg's Michael McKee. You can hear the full 76 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: conversation on the Bloomberg Top Bucks podcast. It is available 77 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: wherever you get your podcasts. 78 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we go to the latest on the war 79 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: in Ukraine. Now, the Trump administration may be looking for 80 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: concessions from Russia to reach a peace deal. Sources tell 81 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: Bloomberg the US will demand that Russia except Ukraine's right 82 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: to an army and defense ministry. When White House on 83 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: voy Steve Witcoff meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia's 84 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: Interfacts News service reports Witcoff has arrived in Moscow today 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: and we get more with Bloomberg Russia reporter Greg Sullivan. 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 9: Kiev and its European allies are likely to welcome this 87 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 9: development because they've been focused on Ukraine's security after the war, 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 9: whether that's security guarantees from other countries or Ukraine having 89 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 9: the ability to defend itself. However, from the Russian side, 90 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 9: this has been a key demand of Vladimir Putin. It's 91 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 9: one that he's actually used to justify his invasions, saying 92 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 9: that he needed to demilitarize Ukraine. Knowing that that has 93 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 9: been a key concession makes it unclear whether Russia will 94 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 9: be willing to accept that going forward. 95 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Ray Sullivan orpoorts the US also wants Moscow to 96 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: return to Ukraine's Zaporegia nuclear power plant, along with land 97 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: occupied by Russia in the Kharkiv region. 98 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 3: Turning back to markets now, Karen stocks are higher around 99 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: the world as we close out the trading week.

But 203 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 14: uh again, we're just excited to add a really good 204 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 14: football player to the organization, and you know, it was 205 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 14: really going to help our defense move forward. 206 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 13: Tackles went fourth and seventh, LSU's Will Campbell to the Patriots, 207 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 13: Missouri's armand Membo to the Jets.

John's Dashaway Bloomberg Sports Karen Nathan Coast to 217 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 13: coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, and around 218 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 13: the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the Bloomberg Business app. 219 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 220 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager, as we continue to follow 221 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: the mood swings and the rhetoric swings when it comes 222 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: to trade and tariff's, President Trump says, when it comes 223 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: to China, both sides are talking. 224 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 11: They had a. 225 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 15: Meeting this morning, so I can't tell you it doesn't 226 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 15: matter who they is. We may reveal it later, but 227 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 15: they had meetings this morning, and we've been meeting with China. 228 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: That was the President speaking at the White House yesterday. 229 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 3: But this morning, China's Farm our Ministry is reiterating that 230 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: no talks are underway, and a spokesman says the US 231 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: should stop misleading the public. For the very latest, we 232 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,239 Speaker 3: were joined by Bloomberg Markets reporter Valerie Titel. So, Valerie, 233 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,359 Speaker 3: are the US and China talking or not? Good morning? 234 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: Hey, that's a great question. I'll think anybody knows the answer. 235 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: Lots of contradictions all around. But I think the thing 236 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: that was most interesting this morning, Nathan, was some news 237 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: that sources we're telling Bloomberg that China is looking at 238 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: tariff exemptions for certain industries, one of those being the 239 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: medical industry, maybe some chip components some exemptions there. But 240 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: they also came out and contradicted that as well. We 241 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: had a China spokesman saying they're not familiar with these 242 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: reports on China tariff exemption. So a lot of back 243 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: and forth, a lot of uncertainty when it comes to 244 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: the picture on the US China trade situation. Though, I 245 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: have to say, Nathan, the equity market is looking through 246 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: a lot of this. The S and P five hundred 247 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: is in the green when it comes to the futures, 248 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: and if you look at how the move the week, 249 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: what that's been like. It's up nearly four and a 250 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: half percent for the S and P futures and look, Nathan, 251 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: that's going to be its second best week of the 252 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: year if this move hold. So it seems like there 253 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: is a lot of positivity when it comes to the 254 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: equity market and risk sentiment. Maybe the big takeaway from 255 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: this week is, yes, there's still a lot of moving parts, 256 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: but it seems like the trend for tariffs is downward 257 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: and we're headed towards de escalation on the trade warfront. 258 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, there are so many moving parts. Whether or not 259 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: the US and China are talking, whether they're definitions of 260 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: talking are a little bit different. There's also some word 261 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: that China might not be just looking at exemptions for 262 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: some US imports, but also looking to stimulate, looking for 263 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: some stimulus for its economy as well. 264 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. 265 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: We heard from the Pollitt Borrow this morning. They said 266 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: they're preparing emergency plans amid external shots, wanting to boost 267 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: internal demand, and looking up at setting up new financing 268 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: and policy tools. They also said they want to support 269 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: enterprises that are affected by tariffs. So it does seem 270 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: like the poll Up Bureau is ready to stand there 271 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: with some support to its industries that are hurt by tariffs. 272 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: You know, that did kind of boost the dollar. Hearing 273 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: this overnight, the Bloomberg Dollar indexes up three tens of 274 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: one percent. It seems like the move from overnight is 275 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: really just kind of unwinding the sell America trade, Nathan, 276 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: that kind of grafts our attention. On Monday, we're seeing 277 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: those currencies like the Japanese yen, the euro, and the 278 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: Swiss frank those that have acted like safe havens in 279 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: the last few weeks losing some ground in the front 280 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: of dollar strength this morning. 281 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: And of course we also heard from Treasury Secretary Scott 282 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: bess And talking about how talks with South Korea may 283 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: be going along a lot more quickly than even he expected. 284 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: And also some word this morning on potentially what the 285 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: framework of a US trade deal with India could look like. 286 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like the Trump administration is eager to 287 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: announce one framework deal, you know, before Trump's one hundred 288 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: days next week. We had Bloomberg reporting just a few 289 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: hours ago that the US is seeking an India trade 290 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: deal on e commerce, crops and data storage. So maybe 291 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: these are our first glimpse on what these framework deals 292 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: are going to look like when it comes to the 293 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: nations that the US is negotiating with. But yeah, you're right, 294 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: we've had positive news on the India framework deal. Also 295 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: those comments from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent yesterday talking about 296 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: imminent framework deal with South Korea. So things are looking 297 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: more positive in terms of the trade war and in 298 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: terms of de escalation. But I think the market is 299 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: really eager to see one of these deal frameworks on paper, 300 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: so maybe we can draw a bit more conclusions about 301 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: what the Trump administration is really trying to negotiate for 302 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: with these trading partners. 303 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg day Break, Your Morning podcast.
