Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with a selloff in chip stocks. In
Speaker 3: Vidia is leading the declines, down more than four and
Speaker 3: a half percent in early trading. It all comes after
Speaker 3: a Wall Street Journal report saying Washington could soon close
Speaker 3: loopholes in the sale of powerful chips to China.
Speaker 4: We get details from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner.
Speaker 5: The chips are those used to train AI models, and
Speaker 5: the restrictions are aimed at containing China's technological rise, but
Speaker 5: the move would clearly dent sales, and Vidia gets nearly
Speaker 5: twenty percent of its revenue from China. Its chips are
Speaker 5: vital to the development of generative AI models such as
Speaker 5: chat GPT. This year and Vidia produced less capable chips
Speaker 5: below thresholds requiring a license from the Commerce Department to
Speaker 5: export to China or other countries of concern. But Washington
Speaker 5: is now weighing action as soon as next month to
Speaker 5: expand the curbs to include those lower powered semiconductors. In
Speaker 5: New York, I'm Doug Krisnerberg Daybreak.
Speaker 3: Okay, Doug, thanks, and checking some other chip stocks this morning,
Speaker 3: Advanced micro Devices is down three and a half percent,
Speaker 3: Applied Materials is down one and a half percent. Intel
Speaker 3: also down more than one percent.
Speaker 2: Well, another major story we're following this morning, Nathan takes
Speaker 2: us overseas. Bloomberg News has learned that UBS plans to
Speaker 2: get more than half of the workforce and inherited from
Speaker 2: credit suits. Bloombergsh and Aali Bosik says the job losses
Speaker 2: will start next month.
Speaker 6: The way that this will be done, according to people familiar,
Speaker 6: is three rounds of job cuts this year, with the
Speaker 6: first round expected by the end of July and two
Speaker 6: more rounds tentatively planned for September and October. So certainly
Speaker 6: through the end of the year there will be kind
Speaker 6: of a lot of communication with staff, plus probably a
Speaker 6: lot of conversations across Wall Street and global finance.
Speaker 2: And Bloomberg and Aali Bosik says UBS intends to reduce
Speaker 2: the total combined headcount by about thirty five thousand.
Speaker 3: Staying in Europe, Karen, we're watching for news on the
Speaker 3: economy and global monetary policy on this final day of
Speaker 3: the European Central Bank four in Central Portugal. Speakers on
Speaker 3: the agenda today include Fed Chair j Powell, ECB President
Speaker 3: Christine Legard, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, and Bank
Speaker 3: of Japan Governor Caswell Ueida.
Speaker 2: Well back here in the US, Nathan, the economy is
Speaker 2: also in focus. President Biden says he thinks the US
Speaker 2: economy can avoid a recession in the coming months. Bloomberg's
Speaker 2: Amy Morris has details from our ninety nine one newsroom
Speaker 2: in Washington.
Speaker 7: President Biden told donors that after economists have predicted a
Speaker 7: recession for the past eleven months, he doesn't think it's
Speaker 7: going to come, citing a strong labor market and his
Speaker 7: efforts to tamp down inflation. National Economic Council Director and
Speaker 7: former Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve Lyle Brainerd agrees,
Speaker 7: we are.
Speaker 2: Going to continue to see resilience against a backdrop of
Speaker 2: what we have referred to as more stable economic growth.
Speaker 7: Economic Council Chair Brainard made the comments as President Biden
Speaker 7: is set to head to Chicago today, where he'll deliver
Speaker 7: what the White House is calling a cornerstone address on
Speaker 7: his ex economic policy, Bidenomics.
Speaker 4: In Washington.
Speaker 7: I Mamy Morris, Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 4: Thanks Amy.
Speaker 3: Now let's get to the latest on Russia following last
Speaker 3: week's failed Wagner Group mutiny. The brief rebellion against the
Speaker 3: Russian government could boost the Biden administration's efforts to rally
Speaker 3: more military support for Ukraine. White House Deputy Press Secretary
Speaker 3: Olivia Dalton announced another half billion dollar draw down from
Speaker 3: the Pentagon stockpiles yesterday.
Speaker 8: This package includes key capabilities that will support Ukraine's counter
Speaker 8: offensive operations, such as mind clearing equipment, armored vehicles, and
Speaker 8: artillery rounds. It will also strengthen air defenses to help
Speaker 8: Ukraine protect its people from rocket attacks.
Speaker 3: Deputy Press Secretary Dalton says there has been strong bipartisan
Speaker 3: support for Ukraine in the past. Sources tell Bloomberg News
Speaker 3: the White House is expecting stronger commitments as well from
Speaker 3: NATO allies when they meet next month in Lithuania.
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, another story we're following this morning brings us
Speaker 2: to the skies of New York. That's smog which blanketed
Speaker 2: skies in the Northeast earlier this month. Maybe coming back,
Speaker 2: could we get the latest of the Bloomberg's John Tucker
Speaker 2: in New York, John.
Speaker 9: And Karen Air quality should reach unhealthy levels in Western
Speaker 9: and Central New York today, and New York City will
Speaker 9: be enveloped tomorrow. The city in the northeast tenth some
Speaker 9: of the worst air quality in the world. Earlier this month,
Speaker 9: when the smoke from Quebec forest fires swirled south, Governor
Speaker 9: Conthy Hoko says, make no mistake about it. This is
Speaker 9: the result of climate change.
Speaker 1: We are truly the first generation to feel the real
Speaker 1: effects of climate change, and.
Speaker 2: We're also the last generation to do anything meaningful about it.
Speaker 9: Large parts of Canada from coast to coast have been
Speaker 9: burning for weeks, currently two hundred and fifty seven fires
Speaker 9: of burning out of control. Now, if you think it's
Speaker 9: an excuse to work from home, keep in mind that
Speaker 9: modern office building filtration systems to a pretty good job
Speaker 9: cleaning out harmful particulates. New York Out and John Tucker Bloomberg.
Speaker 4: Daybreak, John. Thanks.
Speaker 3: While unhealthy air may stress you out, investors are also
Speaker 3: waiting for bank stress tests this afternoon from the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 4: We get more from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett.
Speaker 10: It comes as regulators explore more stringent requirements on in
Speaker 10: the aftermath of several lender collapses. Analysts largely expect banks
Speaker 10: to sail through the tests, which examine how lenders would
Speaker 10: hold up in a hypothetical severe global recession in which
Speaker 10: US unemployment peaks at ten percent, commercial real estate prices
Speaker 10: plunge forty percent, and the dollar surges against most major currencies.
Speaker 10: In New York, Charlie Palett Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 4: This is Bloomberg.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Time to take a look at some of the other
Speaker 3: stories making news in New York and around the world
Speaker 3: with Bloomberg's Michael Barr.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Michael, Good morning Nathan.
Speaker 11: The travel night mayre drags on from severe weather. After
Speaker 11: days of flight cancelations. More than one hundred flights already
Speaker 11: are scrapped in the New York area today. It is
Speaker 11: left travelers at Newark Airport frustrated.
Speaker 4: Come on, this is like the Disney World Line from hell.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 4: I feel gross.
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to cry, but I have
Speaker 1: nothing left.
Speaker 11: Some passings we're told they won't be able to reach
Speaker 11: their destinations until next week. Daniel Penny, the man accused
Speaker 11: in the May subway chocold death of Jordan Neely, will
Speaker 11: be arranged day in New York. Penny's grand jury indictment
Speaker 11: will be unsealed. Tuesday was primary day in New York City.
Speaker 11: In a closely watched race, use of Salaam, the exonerated
Speaker 11: Central Park five criminal justice reform activists, has won a
Speaker 11: seat for the City Council in the ninth district. Salam
Speaker 11: got close to fifty one percent of the vote, compared
Speaker 11: to his closest competitor, State Assembly Member A Nis Dickens,
Speaker 11: with just over twenty five percent. Salam replaces Kirsten Richardson Jordan,
Speaker 11: who announced in May she would not seek reelection. In
Speaker 11: Council District thirteen, incumbent Democrat Marjorie Velasquez easily won her
Speaker 11: primary against three other challengers. However, the Republican primary challenger's

Speaker 12: I believe a good government is good campaigning. I believe
Speaker 12: you take the guns off the streets, the gangs off
Speaker 12: the streets. You think of innovative ways to take care
Speaker 12: of those are the stealing things from drug stores and

Speaker 13: From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco,
Speaker 13: Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg
Speaker 13: Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com.
Speaker 4: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning.
Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Hager, and it is a tough morning for
Speaker 3: chip stocks this morning, led by Nvidia following a report
Speaker 3: that the Biden administration is looking to close the loopholes
Speaker 3: that allow China to buy the chips that power artificial intelligence.
Speaker 4: Let's bring in Alex Web for more on this.
Speaker 3: Alex covers all things tech for US at Bloomberg News.
Speaker 3: We should note, Alex that this is reporting from the
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal. But what are the loopholes that the
Speaker 3: White House reportedly has its eye on here?
Speaker 15: Yeah, so there was an initial round of rules that
Speaker 15: tried to prevent bleeding edge chips that can be used
Speaker 15: for AI applications from being sold into China. And in
Speaker 15: terms of Nvidia, those are known as the A one
Speaker 15: hundred range. So when in Vidia did quite agile league
Speaker 15: quite quickly, they range called the eight hundred, which is
Speaker 15: slightly lower power, and if you looked at the specifications
Speaker 15: that were laid out by the government, they were then
Speaker 15: allowed to be sold into China. So what, according to
Speaker 15: the journals you state, is now being reported is that
Speaker 15: these restrictions are going to be extended, so they will
Speaker 15: cover those new A eight hundred chips and more than that,
Speaker 15: even they will also be covering cloud operators. There is
Speaker 15: a world where you can imagine that if you're a
Speaker 15: Chinese company and you can't get the right technology inside China,
Speaker 15: well then you might buy cloud capacity which is shored elsewhere,
Speaker 15: perhaps you know, in the region, but operated by Google
Speaker 15: or at Microsoft Azure or AWS to get around some
Speaker 15: of those restrictions. And it seems as though they're going
Speaker 15: to be closing that loophole as well.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing the impact on the stock this morning,
Speaker 3: investors thinking this could be a pretty tough for in Vidia,
Speaker 3: given how sizable the Chinese market is for that chip maker.
Speaker 3: What is the potential impact for chip makes and when
Speaker 3: it comes to their bottom line here, I mean.
Speaker 15: I think we've got to be careful not to overstated.
Speaker 15: You must remember the of course, that in Vidia has
Speaker 15: a very full valuation at the moment. It is the
Speaker 15: most expensive chip stock in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, training
Speaker 15: it close to fifty times its forward earnings. That means
Speaker 15: that any indication that there might be restrictions to its
Speaker 15: growth potential are obviously going to be taken with a
Speaker 15: certain amount of skittishness by investors. When it comes to
Speaker 15: in Vidia's total revenue, you know, China is it's actually
Speaker 15: its third biggest market, representing about twenty one percent of sales,
Speaker 15: behind Taiwan and of course the US. Some of the
Speaker 15: end customers might actually, you know, so it's made in Taiwan,
Speaker 15: it might ultimately be shipped to Taiwan in a different package, sorry,
Speaker 15: to China, in a different package. It's really about limiting
Speaker 15: the growth here. But as if you read the fantastic
Speaker 15: artle by our colleagues and the most recent edition of
Speaker 15: BusinessWeek profiling in video and the CEO Jensen one, there's
Speaker 15: currently an eight month wait to be able to get
Speaker 15: the bleeding Edge chips. So at least in the near term,
Speaker 15: it doesn't look as though this would have any meaningful
Speaker 15: effect on demand. The question then starts to be if
Speaker 15: it affects it in the medium term, as you know,
Speaker 15: US and European cloud capacity gets filled up.
Speaker 3: Now, I guess that raises the question as well of
Speaker 3: whether in Vidia could continue to shore up that sizeable
Speaker 3: market it has in China even with these kinds of restrictions.
Speaker 3: Is there a scenario that you could see that in
Speaker 3: Vidia could try to hold on to that Chinese market.
Speaker 15: I mean, they've clearly managed to find a way with
Speaker 15: the previous rules to skirt the letter of the regulations.
Speaker 15: You know, of course they did something that was entirely legal,
Speaker 15: but they ultimately served up a chip that wasn't as good, right,
Speaker 15: And then the question is, well, perhaps they can innovate
Speaker 15: further and do something similar on those lines. Even so
Speaker 15: would mean that China is not getting stuff that is
Speaker 15: as good as what you know US cloud operators are
Speaker 15: able to do at the moment, at any rate in
Speaker 15: video are the only game in town and the only
Speaker 15: others who are close the likes of AMD, they are
Speaker 15: also covered by these restrictions. So the only solution from
Speaker 15: a Chinese perspective is what can they come up with
Speaker 15: some sort of domestic competitor. The answer might be yes,
Speaker 15: but it's not going to be anytime soon. You're looking at,
Speaker 15: you know, years and years out, because not only can
Speaker 15: they not buy these chips, they can't buy the equipment
Speaker 15: that's needed to make these chips, usually made by asmls.
Speaker 15: So it's a tough challenge for China for in VideA.
Speaker 15: It you know, might affect them around the edges, It
Speaker 15: isn't the lion's share of their business.
Speaker 3: About thirty seconds left here, Alex. But you mentioned the
Speaker 3: restrictions on cloud leases that are reported in this Biden
Speaker 3: administration strategy. I mean, that's the kind of thing that
Speaker 3: could hit some of the biggest tech companies in the world.
Speaker 15: Yes, but they aren't as big inside China as they
Speaker 15: might be. And of course this is all new. This
Speaker 15: is like green space for them, right. The AI processing
Speaker 15: stuff is what they're adding. That's the way of bringing
Speaker 15: new business in. It's not something they already have. So again,
Speaker 15: it's a that's in their growth, not necessarily affecting the
Speaker 15: businesses they already have, and that's the key issue at
Speaker 15: the moment.
