Here are the stories we're following today. 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 3: Karen, we're watching oil drop as well as we begin 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 3: a new trading week. Right now, West Texas Intermediate stand 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 3: about four tenths of one percent at eighty three dollars 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 3: fifty six cents per barrel. And that decline comes as 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: the US pushes to broker a peace deal between Israel 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: and Hamas we get the details from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter. 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 4: This comes with Secretary of Sir Anthony Blincoln visiting Israel 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 4: today and meeting with Israeli officials.

It 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 5: gives you no fighting for six weeks, and that includes 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 5: no fighting in Rafa. And what we're hoping is that 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 5: after six weeks of a temporary ceasefire, we can maybe 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 5: get something more enduring in place. 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 4: Kirby says, Israel has a read that there will be 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 4: no attack on RAFA until the US concerns are heard. 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,279 Speaker 4: He says, we'll see where that goes at Baxter Bloomberg Radio. 23 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: All right, ed, thank you.

Hundreds 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: of pro Palestinian demonstrators have been arrested at schools across 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: the country since these protests began at Columbia University on 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: April eighteenth. House Speaker Mike Johnson's called for the National 36 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: Guard to come in and break up tent encampments, but 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: senators like fellow Republican JD.

Democratic Senator Tim Kaine says campus 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: security should play more of a role. 47 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: Calling in the National Guard to college campuses. 48 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 7: For so many people would recall what happened when that 49 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 7: was done during the Vietnam War. 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: And it didn't end well. 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: Senator Kane was on NBC's Meet the Press, which can 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 3: be heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio along with Fox News Sunday. 53 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, we now turn to the markets, where more 54 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: corporate earnings and a FED decision highlight the week. Fetchair. J. 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: Powell will address reporters after the Fed's rate decision on Wednesday, 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: when the Central Bank is widely expected to hold borrowing 57 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: costs at a more than two decade high. Here's what 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Goldman Sachs Chief Asia economist Andrew Tilton is expecting. 59 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 9: He needs to keep the options open for the FED 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 9: after a set of upside surprises to inflation in the 61 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 9: first quarter we don't know for sure whether it we'll 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 9: see inflation down to target in time for the FED 63 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 9: to begin cutting by midyear. Our forecast, we think the 64 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 9: FED starts cutting in July. We think we'll see a 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 9: lower run rate of inflation in Q two and beyond, 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 9: but that's still a forecast, not a fact. 67 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: And then I'll look from Goldman's sax as Andrew Tilton 68 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: comes as expectations for rate reductions have been pursed further 69 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty four, investors are now betting on two 70 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: cuts at most by year end. 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 10: Well. 72 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Karen an analysis of more than sixty thousand FED 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: news headlines shows Jay Powell's words in December, when he 74 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: hinted at a swifter pivot toward rate cuts, gave markets 75 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: a boost and likely helped the US economy dodge a downturn. 76 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Economics FED Sentiment Index is powered by a natural 77 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: language processing algorithm. It shows while Powell's words led to 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: a significant cut in borrowing costs, they also probably added 79 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: about a half percentage point two inflation over the year. 80 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: Despite the FED share being forced into a reversal of 81 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: his comments this month, Bloomberg's analysis shows Powell has only 82 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: undone a fraction of the stimulus unleashed his December press conference. 83 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, there have been major swings in the value 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: of the yen in trading today.

More corporate earnings due 237 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: out and a made decision from the Fed on the 238 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: way before, but really when days out? Actually, so, let's 239 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: get you ready for it. Lori Calvesina is with us 240 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: this morning in our Interactive Broker Studios in New York. 241 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: The head of US equity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, Laurie, 242 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: Good morning, So what's the bigger deal for you this week? 243 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: The earnings or what we hear from Chairman Powell this week? 244 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 14: So, you know, I hate to say it, but I 245 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 14: think for me, it's probably the earnings. We've got one 246 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 14: hundred and sixty six companies in the SMP reporting this week, 247 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 14: at least last I checked, So I think, you know, 248 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 14: as always, people are going to pay attention to the FED. Personally, 249 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 14: I'm looking for that commentary to kind of catch up 250 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 14: with where the market already is. I'm much more interested, frankly, 251 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 14: to hear what companies are saying about the current environment. 252 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: Okay, so we have seen a big swath of companies 253 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: report already. What are some of your takeaways from what 254 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: we've heard from the companies that have reported so far. 255 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 14: Somehow we managed to get through most of the reports 256 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 14: that came out last week, and you know, I think 257 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 14: the themes are still evolving. But I would say number one, 258 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 14: we're not seeing any kind of you know, big problem 259 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 14: with the economy demand anything like that. There's a laundry 260 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 14: list of pros and cons that companies are talking about 261 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 14: in regards to this market. For me, one thing that 262 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 14: did jump out is that interest rate commentary. There's a 263 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 14: lot of various expectations about what the FED is going 264 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 14: to do backed in I remember reading one company talking 265 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 14: about three cuts, and so I do think, you know, 266 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 14: there's a little bit of a slippage in terms of 267 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 14: where corporate America is versus the equity market itself or 268 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 14: the fixed income market. I do think that geopolitical commentary 269 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 14: is something I'm paying a lot of attention to. It's 270 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 14: continued to be mentioned as a general risk, but no 271 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 14: sort of you know, kind of overt impact on demand 272 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 14: for ether consumers or corporate yet. 273 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: Well, that does steer us toward whatever we could. Hear 274 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 3: from Chairman Powell on Wednesday in the Made decision, we've 275 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: done an analysis that shows the December Duvish pivot really 276 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 3: helped to fuel the rally that we saw at the 277 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: first quarter. What's the chance that pivot the other way 278 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: does some damage to this rally? 279 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 14: Well, well, I'll tell you, you know, I've heard really 280 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 14: since the big getting of February in my client meetings, 281 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 14: the idea is the US economy so hot, how can 282 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 14: the FED possibly even cut this year? So I do 283 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 14: think equity markets, equity investors at least have already started 284 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 14: to come to terms with that potential idea. That's not 285 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 14: really reflected in market pricing right now as far as 286 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 14: I understand, But I do think this may be one 287 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 14: instance where equity markets have already assumed a scenario in 288 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 14: contrast with what they you know, we're thinking back in January. 289 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: So is there a chance then that the stocks can 290 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: continue to rally even with rate cut expectations getting pushed 291 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: back as far as they have in the market. 292 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 14: So I think it gets harder from here. I think 293 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 14: a hike discussion, which is not really something I'm hearing 294 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 14: about from investors right now, I think that would be very, 295 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 14: very different from just a no cut scenario in the 296 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 14: mind of equity investors. I'll tell you, Nathan, when I 297 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 14: talked to investors, you know, they're clearly disappointed that we're 298 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 14: not getting this interest right down draft story. But at 299 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 14: the same time, if the economy continues to come through hot, 300 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 14: at least a lot of the investors I speak with, 301 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 14: I think they want the FED to do the work 302 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 14: that needs to be done to get inflation down. 303 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: Though we did get that weaker than expected first read 304 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: on first quarter GDP last week, What does that tell 305 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: you about what we could get in terms of corporate 306 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: earnings down the line. 307 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 14: That's a really interesting report to me. I mean generally, 308 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 14: what our economists are saying, and I think this has 309 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 14: been echoed around the street, is that the underlying details 310 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 14: about that report really, you know, sort of speak to 311 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 14: the idea that the economy is still strong, the consumer 312 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 14: is still strong. There were some quirky things that happened 313 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 14: with the data that caused that headline number to be 314 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 14: a bit lower than expected. Now we'll see, you know, 315 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 14: if that narrative holds up, But for now, that seems 316 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 14: to be what the economic story is, or the economic 317 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 14: read is on that report, and I think we're hearing 318 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 14: echoes of that in corporate commentary. I'm really just not 319 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 14: seeing any sort of demand problem coming through in the 320 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 14: company transcripts that we're reading through. 321 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: Okay, just thirty seconds left here, Lourie. What's the biggest 322 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 3: risk for you when it comes to equities is a geopolitics, 323 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: earnings or rates? 324 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 14: I think geopolitics are always a huge one that markets 325 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 14: have trouble digesting in advance.
