Speaker 1: Calm returns to markets following yesterday's FED decision. Fancier J.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Powell says more rate hikes are in store if inflation persists,

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: but the bond market has a different take, predicting rate

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: cuts instead. And now it's the Bank of England's turn

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: to make a policy decision. A grand jury in New

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: York City could hear from one more witness today at

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's case, plus a standoff at the Manhattan High Runs.

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm Michael barn More ahead, I'm John's fish awon sports.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: minute podcast each pointing on Apple's Spotify. The Bloomberg Business

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Appen everywhere you get your podcasts. Good morning, I'm Nathan

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Hagar and I'm kieron Moscow. Here are the stories we're

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: following today. The lift in futures. This morning comes on

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the heels of an equity sell off. Stocks sank yesterday

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: after a ninth straight rate hike from the Federal Reserve

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: and signals from Chair J Powell that more could be coming.

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: We need to raise rates higher. We will, I think

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: for now, though we as I've mentioned, we see the

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: likelihood of credit tightening. We know that that can have

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: a you know, an effect on the macroeconomy, on demand,

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: on labor market, on inflation, and we're we're going to

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: be watching to see what that is. Well. Critics are

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: weighing in on those remarks from J. Pale Farmer FED

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Vice chair Alan Blinder says he should have taken a

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: different approach. I think very much that the right decision

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: today would have been a pause with words saying we're

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: waiting to see if the dust clears and how it clears,

33
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: and we may be going up higher depending if you know,

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: if this crisis doesn't look too serious. Alan blinders can

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: daring the Fed could be underestimating the extent of the

36
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: current banking crisis. Well, Nathan, the markets are not buying J.

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: Powell's message about more rate hikes. In fact, they're pricing

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: in rate cuts instead, and we get that storway from

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's John Tucker, who joins US Live. John, Good morning,

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: my Karen. Treasury's rallied yesterday after the Fed decision, and

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: traders have ramped up best the central Bank is soon

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: going to reverse course and start cutting rates. They seem

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: convinced the Fed will make in about face, probably in September.

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: The market view contrasts with the FED guidance, which calls

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: for at least one more hike at Cher. Powell did

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: push back on that market center and saying rate cuts

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: are not our base case. Investors think tighter Fed policy

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: is leading to cracks in the economy will likely tip

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: the United States into recession. Live in New York. I'm

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: John Tucker, Bloomberg Daybreak, John. Thanks. The Swiss National Bank

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: is also on the move this morning. Turmoil at Credit

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Suiss is not stopping that central bank from tightening policy.

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: The SNB's hiked rates by fifty basis points, taking its

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: policy rate to one and a half percent. Now, Nathan,

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: it's the Bank of England's turn. We get a rate

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: decision across the pond at eight am Eastern today and

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden is at the BOE and has a preview.

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: There had been economists wondering at the start of the

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: week whether all the recent banking stress meant that financial

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: conditions have titan so much that the leg work has

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: been done for the Bank of England, that another hike

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: would be deflationary, or that it would undermine the already

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: weak economy. But now the consensus is for a quarter

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: point hike, which would take rates to four point two

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: five percent, to be the highest level since two thousand

66
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and eight, and Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden points out the pound

67
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: is trading near a two month high ahead of the

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: BOE decision. Now we continue Karen to follow the latest

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: developments on the banking crisis and the response from Washington.

70
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the US is not considering

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: blanket deposit insurance without first working with Congress. It's important

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: to be clear shareholders and deadholders of the field banks

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: are not being protected by the government, and no losses

74
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: from the resolution of these banks are being borne by

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: the taxpayer. Deposit protection is provided by the Deposit Insurance Fund,

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: which is funded by fees on insured banks. My Treasury

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: Secretary Yellen says executives responsible for bank collapses should not

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: be profiting when stockholders and investors take losses. Well, Jane

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: Fraser is weighing in on the banking turmoil. Nathan, the

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: CEO of City Group, says the ability to move millions

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: of dollars, which just a few clicks, is a sea

82
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: change moment for the risk of bank runs. There were

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: a couple of tweets and then this thing went down

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: much faster than as appened in history, and greatly. I

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: think the regulators did a good job in responding very quickly,

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: because normally have longer to respond to this. City Group

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: CEO Jane Fraser made the comments in an interview at

88
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: David Rubinstein. Stay tuned for more of that conversation coming

89
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: up surely on Bloomberg Daybreak, and we continue to watch

90
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: First Republic Bank this morning. Karen. The shares are up

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: three point six percent, but it's not all good news

92
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: for the bank, and we get more live from Bloomberg.

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Steve Rappaport, Steve, Good morning, Nathan and Karen. The San

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Francisco lender was hit with a ratings down grade for

95
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: the second time in less than a week, Fitch lowered

96
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: First Republic's long term issuer default rating from B to

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: double B. The bank received the cash infusion of thirty

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: billion dollars from a group of major firms. Fitch analysts

99
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: view the funding as the primary ratings constraint. Meanwhile, First Republic,

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: in a regulatory filing, says top Brass agreed to forego

101
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: bonuses and other compensation this year. Live in New York,

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Rappaport, Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Steve, Thanks, And

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: in politics today, TikTok is front and center on Capitol Hail.

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: The company CEO tries to convince the lawmakers today that

105
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: China has no influence over the apps data. Amy Morris

106
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: has details from our Bloomberg ninety nine one newsroom in

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Washington show Two plans to tell Congress the TikTok app

108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: does more to protect young users than other social media rivals.

109
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Two will appear before the House Energy and Commerce Committee,

110
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: where he will be grilled on teen's safety and the

111
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: app's impact on mental health, but he'll also face questions

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: about national security. In prepared comments reviewed by Bloomberg News,

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: too will tell lawmakers they would never share information demanded

114
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: by the Communist Party as TikTok tries to convince lawmakers

115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: the companies should be allowed to continue operating in the US.

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: In Washington, I'm may Me Maris Bloomberg. Daybreak. It's forty

117
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: eight degrees in New York's apatchee fog this morning, but

118
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cloudy, breezy, with some passing showers this afternoon,

119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: heading to the low sixties. Showers end this evening. We'll

120
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: get down to the upper forties. Second look at some

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: of the other stories making news in New York and

122
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: around the world with Bloomberg's Michael Bark. Good morning, Mike, Call,

123
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Good morning Nathan. The grand jury in the Manhattan DA's

124
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: probe into Donald Trump was delayed, and we'll reconvene later today.

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Trump is accused of paying hush money in twenty sixteen

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 1: to an adult film star. Jurors were informed at least

127
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: one additional witness may be called to testify before they

128
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: decide whether to indict the former president. Outside the courthouse

129
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: in Lower Manhattan, woman supports Trump. Look, he's not perfect

130
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: or any of us perfect, but he loves our country

131
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: and they put him through so much and He's still

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it again and we're gonna win. Meanwhile, this

133
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: man says he wants to see a mug shot of him. Yes,

134
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about this crime, but multiple

135
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: other crimes. I mean January sixth alone, he should be

136
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: in prison. New York is still bracing for protests. The

137
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: former president also lost a court battle to keep legal

138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: details secret from the Justice Department about his alleged mishandling

139
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: of classified information after he left the White House. It

140
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: appears to clear the way for Special Consul Jack Smith

141
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: to force one of Trump's private lawyers to testify before

142
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: a grand jury. Approval of President Joe Biden has dipped,

143
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: nearing the lowest point of his presidency. According to the

144
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Associated Press North Pole, the president notched an approval rating

145
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: of just thirty eight percent. The U asked questions China's

146
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: message to Russia about how to end the war in

147
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: Ukraine Bloomberg's ad Baxter report. The US is basing that

148
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: on the fact that the day after the Shee Putin's summit,

149
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Russia launched a barrage of missiles. NFC spokesman John Kirby,

150
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: If China really wants to be helpful in that regard,

151
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: they should be urging President Putin to get out of Ukraine.

152
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: Here we are the day after, and mister Putin is

153
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: launching more drones and missiles into Ukraine. So I don't

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: know President she delivered that message, but if he did,

155
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: mister Putin ignored it. Kirby says. The other possibility as

157
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: I'm at Baxter Bloomberg day Break, A dramatic standoff played

158
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: out thirty floors above a Manhattan street yesterday. It all

159
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: began when the FBI tried to execute an arrest warrant

160
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: at a luxury high rise just steps away from Carnegie Hall.

161
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: The man barricaded himself inside the apartment and then was

162
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: purged on the ledge of the window, threatening to jump.

163
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: An NYPD officer finally repelled down from the floor above

164
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and was able to get the suspect inside. Global News

Speaker 1: of you, here's John Stashower all right. Nathan Nicks had

170
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: beaten the Heat twice this season, both nail biting games

171
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: not decided until the end. This time in Miami, Knicks

172
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: fell short at one twenty seven to one twenty. Jimmy

173
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: Butler thirty seven points for the Heat. RJ. Barrett had

174
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: twenty six for the Knicks. Jalen Brunson twenty five, but

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: Julius Randall went from fifty seven points the other night

176
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: down to fifteen. Same two teams will play next week

177
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: at the Garden. Nicks are trying to hold on to

178
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: fifth place in the East. They lead Miami and Brooklyn

179
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: by two games. The Nets play tonight at Cleveland at

180
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: the Garden. It's the start of the NCAA Tournament Sweet

Speaker 1: sixteen and up first it's Kansas State against Michigan State,

182
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: and both teams have top scorers who are New York natives.

183
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: Case States Marquisnoles from Harlem. The Spartans Tyson Walker is

184
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: from Long Island. As coach is tom Izzo. He does

185
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: have that that swagger about him, you know, his is

186
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: a little more I think sometimes the New York swagger

187
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: is a very cocky swagger, and sometimes that's good. You

188
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: got to be He's kind of had the happy medium,

189
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's got enough cockiness to be confident, and

190
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: yet he's an unbelievable Kidizzo in his twenty eight season

191
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: in Michigan State the Kansas State coach Jerome Tanks in

192

Speaker 1: a doubleheader in Vegas, Yukon against Arkansas, UCLA meets Gonzaga.

194
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: That Jets drafted wide receiver Elijah More in the second

195
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: round two years ago. Good rookie season, not as good

196
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: this past year. Midway through, he demanded the trade. The

197
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: Jets traded More to Cleveland. They got a second round

198
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: draft pick back, and the Jets signed a free agent

204
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hagard in Jay the

205
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Markets Trust. Those are the words from City Group CEO

206
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Jane Frasier, who says she supports Chairman Powell's efforts to

207
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: fight inflation and appreciates how clearly he has stated that

208
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: crushing inflation is the Fed's number one goal. Jane Fraser

209
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: sat down with Bloomberg's David Rubinstein and an event at

210
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: the Economic Club in Washington. They discussed the FED and

211
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: the recent string of bank failures and what it all

212
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: means for the US economy. Here is part of that conversation. Now,

213
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: the feds job number one is fighting inflation, and we

214
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: want the FED to be very dependable in fighting inflation,

215
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: and that should be their most important priority. There are

216
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: ramifications of it, but there are certain banks which say

217
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: are an isolated few that have really been impacted very negatively,

218
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily manage their balance sheets that well, and

219
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: think that was the right decision to protect only the

220
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: depositors and say goodbye to the shareholders and goodbye to

221
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: the creditors. I think it's very important to protect the

222
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: depositors right now. The banking system everywhere around the world

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: depends on confidence and that confidence has to be in

224
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: the safety and security of deposits. So in terms of

225
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: the most important job here they did the most important job,

226
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: which is making sure the depositors will whole. So in

227
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the old days and there were bank runs, used to

228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: see people lined up outside the street and get their

229
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: money out. Now you're just on your iPhone or whatever

230
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: phone you have, you can take your money out. So

231
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: money moves so quickly was at a factor as well.

232
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: And having the money get out of a bank so

233
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: quickly on the weight line, you can just do it

234
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: over it. It's a complete game changer from what we've

235
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: seen before. David, you're absolutely right. There were a couple

236
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: of tweets and then this thing went down much faster

237
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: than as a and in history, and greatly. I think

238
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: the regulators did a good job in responding very quickly,

239
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: because normally you have longer to respond to this, so

240
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: they acted with quite a lot of speak even how

241
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: quickly this happened. So some people say you have a

242
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: moral hazard when you protect people. So by protecting all

243
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: the depositors in Silicon Valley Bank, the implication was that

244
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: if somebody else has a problem, will protect them, and

245
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: so forth, and so the two hundred and fifty thousand

246
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: dollars limit is meaningless more or less? Or do you

247
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: think the federals are and the Secondary Treasurer saying we're

248
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: not going to protect every depositor, or we're going to

249
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: protect certain depositors. I don't think they need to go

250
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: out right now, because the banking system is pretty sound,

251
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: and we're talking about a few banks. We had it

252
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: from the gym and pal. This is not something that

253
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: is spread across the entire banking system. Isn't like it

254
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: was last time. This is not a credit crisis. This

255
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: is a situation where it's a few banks that have

256
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: some problems and it's better to make sure that we

257
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: nip that in the bud. As we talk today, the

258
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve has announced that it's going to increase the

259
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: federal discount rate by another twenty five basis points, which

260
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: was probably not a surprise in the market. Do you

261
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: think that was the right decision now? I think it

262
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: was a tough decision. Was Jake and a pause? Was

263
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: he going to increase it by the twenty five bits

264
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: or more? I think what he said was apparently jolly sensible.

265
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: If you'll pardon the British expression, I do that occasionally.

266
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: He said, we don't know how much credit tightening is

267
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: going to come from what's gone on in the last

268
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. We don't quite know what's going to

269
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: happen there. So we do know that inflation is a

270
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: real problem. It's persistent, it's starting to come off. But

271
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: he has to tackle this and in Jay the market's

272
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: trust and many of us do that they're going to

273
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: tackle inflation hard. But let's also see where the data is.

274
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: Do you see any evidence in the information data that

275
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: city has that we are heading for a recession? If so,

276
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: when might you think we would see the evidence of that? Yeah,

277
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we've certainly been expecting that a recession could

278
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: well be could well be happening in the second half

279
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: of the year. If one does occur, we don't think

280
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: it will be that heavy because normally, when you're heading

281
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: into some tougher times, you know, the consumers not in

282
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: such good health, the companies aren't, the banks aren't, whereas

283
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: that's not the case right now. The consumer is in

284
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: good health, the corporate balance sheets are strong, and the

285
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: banks are strong. So the factors that typically amplify a

286
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: recession and not in these not in play at the moment,

287
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: So we have to make sure there's nothing crazy happens

288
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: in the duo political world that would change it. But

289
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: we could well have a mild recession. The last couple

290
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: of weeks could make that a bit more likely. It

291
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's going to be a tough one,

292
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: and the US economy is likely to pull out a

293
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: bit pretty quickly. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning
