WEBVTT - Wall Street Reacts to Trump's Tariff Announcement

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a breaking news update from Bloomberg instant reaction

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and analysis from our three thousand journalists and analysts around

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the world.

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>President Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs. It turns out

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 2>they're even bigger than the smooth Holy tariffs at the

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the Great Depression. The move drew this reaction

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>from Bob Michael, the chief investment officer at JP Morgan

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Investment Management.

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Given as how tariffs stand as they were announced, that's

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 3>going to push the US economy into recession. They're dramatic.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Its attacks on businesses and households. It's going to cause

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 3>them to retrench. It's worse than most expectations. I think

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.639
<v Speaker 3>the caveat is we don't know what the policy response

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 3>will look like. We still have until April ninth for

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 3>the majority of the tariffs to be enacted, so there

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>could be a lot of negotiation.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Seema Sean about global investors, looks at prices and growth

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>the terrors, she says will bring the worst of both worlds.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 4>The part which is probably most concerning for investors is

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 4>the announcement yesterday is very styflationary, and we know from

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 4>looking at previous regime, previous market movements over history that

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 4>stackflation is typically the regime where rarely does any asset

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 4>class do particularly well.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Doug Irwin, John French, professor at dartminth says the idea

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>that terroriffs will bring jobs back to the US is

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>a false home.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 5>Even if we bring back some of the factories to

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 5>produce these things, because the cost of importing is much higher,

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 5>the jobs probably won't follow. Even with textiles and apparel,

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 5>a lot can be automated. And so when we think

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 5>about the steel industry, which has always been near and

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 5>dear to the President's heart, in the nineteen eighties, it

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 5>took ten worker hours to produce a ton of steel.

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 5>Now it takes one. We're producing just as much steel,

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 5>but we just need many fewer workers because and the

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 5>type of workers that we need to produce steel has

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 5>changed from blue collar to white collar, from hard labor

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 5>to engineer monitoring equipment, and so the whole nature of

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 5>the economy has changed. So we're not in the twentieth

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 5>century anymore. We're in the twenty first century, and to

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 5>go back to the nineteenth century is going to be

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 5>really hard pull. And that's why the markets are reacting

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 5>the way they are.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>A Wall Street legend. At at your Denny Research, the

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>man who famously coined the term bond vigilante, had this

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>message for the administration on behalf of the stock market vigilantes.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 5>I'd like to say, mister President, take down this tariff wall.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>This is the most absurd policy that one could possibly imagine,

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's a disaster for the economy.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 5>It's a disaster for the stock market.

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think the pushback on the administration from the

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 2>stock market vigilantes is already quite intense.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 5>This is turning out to be not Liberation Day plus one,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 5>It's turning out to be D Day in the on

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 5>Wall Street
