Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 1: Karen, we begin with the latest on the Trump administration's
Speaker 1: trade policy. President Trump announced on social media that his
Speaker 1: sweeping new tariffs are in effect as of midnight East
Speaker 1: Coast time, targeting what he calls countries that have taken
Speaker 1: advantage of the United States for many years. The move
Speaker 1: pushes US tariff rates to their highest level since World
Speaker 1: War Two. Bloomberg's Bill Ferries says the ultimate goal of
Speaker 1: on shoring manufacturing jobs could have secondary effects.
Speaker 3: The US average tariff rate is now just over fifteen percent,
Speaker 3: and it was below two point three percent last year
Speaker 3: before President Trump took office. So from two percent to
Speaker 3: fifteen percent certainly at some point that is going to
Speaker 3: really wind its way through the US economy and show
Speaker 3: up on the shelves of stores.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Bill Ferry says trading partners including the European Union, Japan,
Speaker 1: and South Korea negotiated a fifteen percent tariff right Switzerland
Speaker 1: was assigned the highest tariff of any developed nation at
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent after failing to reach a deal. When
Speaker 1: its president visited Washington for an emergency visit yesterday.
Speaker 2: And Nathan, the president assigned a much higher tariff on
Speaker 2: monkey trading partner India. President Trump said yesterday he plans
Speaker 2: to double tariffs on Indian goods to fifty percent as
Speaker 2: a penalty for buying Russian oil.
Speaker 4: As you know, we put a fifty percent tariff on
Speaker 4: India on oil. They're the second largest, so very close
Speaker 4: to China in terms of the purchase of oil from Russia.
Speaker 3: Why are you singling India out for these additionals.
Speaker 4: It's only been eight hours, so let's see what happens
Speaker 4: over the next one. You're going to see a lot more.
Speaker 4: So this is president, You're going to see a lot more.
Speaker 2: President Trump added he may also punish China with additional
Speaker 2: tariffs over its purchases have crued from Russia. Negotiations with
Speaker 2: China are still ongoing, along with the US's other two
Speaker 2: largest trade partners, Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Karen, speaking of Russia, President Trump told reporters there's
Speaker 1: a very good chance he'll meet President Vladimir Putin and
Speaker 1: Ukraine's Vladimir Zelenski soon and another bid to broker piece.
Speaker 1: The Kremlin says an agreement is in place for the
Speaker 1: US and Russian presidents to meet in the coming days,
Speaker 1: the location still to be determined', according to the Interfax
Speaker 1: News service. In the Oval Office, President Trump addressed a
Speaker 1: meeting between Putin and US Special ENVOYE.
Speaker 5: Steve Whitcoff in Moscow.
Speaker 4: We had some very good talks with President Putin today
Speaker 4: and there's a very good chance that we could be
Speaker 4: ending the ending the round, ending the end of that road.
Speaker 4: Road was long and continues to be long. But there's
Speaker 4: a good chance that there will be meeting very soon.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, do you think you are sometimes people? Well, look,
Speaker 4: I don't want to say I've been disappointed before.
Speaker 5: President Trump informed allies he was positive about the possibility
Speaker 5: of a sea firing Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Well. Turning back to trade Nathan, President Trump additionally declared
Speaker 2: plans for a new one hundred percent tariff on semiconductor imports.
Speaker 2: Standing next to Apple's CEO Tim Cook and the Oval Office,
Speaker 2: the President said the aim is to bring manufacturing back
Speaker 2: to the US.
Speaker 4: We'll be putting a terraphone of approximately one hundred percent
Speaker 4: on chips and semiconductors, but if you're building in the
Speaker 4: United States of America, there's no charge.
Speaker 2: And in light of President Trump's announcement, companies including Apple, TSMC,
Speaker 2: and Nvidia pledge to spend more than one trillion dollars
Speaker 2: collectively in the US.
Speaker 1: And part of that pledge from Apple Karen is a
Speaker 1: promise to onshore one hundred percent of iPhone and watch
Speaker 1: cover glass production in the US. It's part of an
Speaker 1: expanded two and a half billion dollar partnership with Corning.
Speaker 4: This is a significant step toward the ultimate goal of
Speaker 4: ensuring that iPhone sold in the United States of America
Speaker 4: also are made in America.
Speaker 1: The President Trump singled out Apple as an example of
Speaker 1: how to avoid increased levies, saying quote apples coming back
Speaker 1: to America. CEO Tim Cook did tell the President that
Speaker 1: final iPhone assembly will be elsewhere for a while.
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the airline industry now, Nathan and the
Speaker 2: tech issue grounding it outed air flights across major US airports.
Speaker 2: United Airlines announced it's resuming flights after fixing a tech
Speaker 2: issue that temporarily delayed hundreds of flights. The airline said
Speaker 2: the underlying technology issue has been resolved, and while we
Speaker 2: expect residual delays, our team is working to restore our
Speaker 2: normal operations. That being a quote. A United spokesman said
Speaker 2: the outage was not related to recent instances of cybersecurity
Speaker 2: issues in the airline industry.
Speaker 1: Turning to the broader economy, now Karen three Federal Reserve
Speaker 1: officials are voicing fresh concerns over the labor market and
Speaker 1: signaling a potential rate cut next month. San Francisco FED
Speaker 1: President Mary Daily says policymakers need to prevent further deterioration
Speaker 1: in the labor market.
Speaker 6: Once the labor market stumbles, it falls, and it falls quickly,
Speaker 6: and it falls hard. So you don't want to get
Speaker 6: into that situation. So all this means, as you put
Speaker 6: it together, that I think will you'd likely need to
Speaker 6: adjust the policy rate sometime in the coming months.
Speaker 1: San Francisco FED President Mary Daly's comments followed rhetoric from
Speaker 1: Fed Governor Lisa Cook. She says downward revisions in the
Speaker 1: jobs report are typical of turning points in the economy,
Speaker 1: and Minneapolis Fed President Neil Cashcari told CNBC he expects
Speaker 1: two interest rate cuts before the end of the year.
Speaker 2: Well let's go to other FED news. Nathan. President Trump
Speaker 2: indicated he'll likely nominate a temporary Federal Reserve governor within
Speaker 2: the coming days. The President said he's considering probably three
Speaker 2: candidates for the temporary position if ied. Announced on Friday
Speaker 2: that FED Governor Adriana Coogler would resign from her seat
Speaker 2: on the Bord of Governors before her term is up
Speaker 2: in January.
Speaker 1: And in earnings News, Karen topgall Callaway brands rose after

Speaker 1: its venues. The golf company's Top Golf unit beat as
Speaker 1: increased promotions in the quarter, like frozen margaritas and half
Speaker 1: off golf during the week.
Speaker 5: We're enough to lure swingers.
Speaker 1: In CEO Arty Stars, says Top Golf Summer pass is
Speaker 1: selling more than twice what it was offered three years ago.
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 2: stories making news in New York and around the world,
Speaker 2: and for that rejoined by Blueberry's John Tucker. John, Good
Speaker 2: Morning Man.

Speaker 5: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 1: After months of threats, reversals, negotiations and prices, President Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's sweeping new tariffs on almost every US trading partner
Speaker 1: are now in effect, and now investors, companies and global
Speaker 1: leaders are bracing for impact. Fabian A Fideli, a CIO
Speaker 1: for Multi Asset and Sustainability at MNG Investments.
Speaker 11: Until now, we really haven't seen the impact of tariffs
Speaker 11: on markets besides some uncertainty among the companies, and our
Speaker 11: concern is that going forward we are starting to see
Speaker 11: some of that impact, and so we'll have to see
Speaker 11: how the next six months spent out.
Speaker 1: That's Fabia Fidelli with MG Investments from War We're joined
Speaker 1: by Bloomberg's Jill Desis.
Speaker 5: Jill, Good morning.
Speaker 1: The change is here and now at least what we
Speaker 1: do know is tariff rates in this country are now
Speaker 1: as high as they've been since World War Two. Walk
Speaker 1: us through the change. Good morning, Yes, good morning, Nathan.
Speaker 12: Well, I think really to kind of drive that point home,
Speaker 12: you just look at what the average US tariff rate
Speaker 12: is right now under these latest Trump actions. So Bloomberg
Speaker 12: Economics estimates it's now up to fifteen point two percent.
Speaker 12: Just for comparison's sake. Last year it was two point
Speaker 12: three percent. So I mean we're talking massive, massive jumps
Speaker 12: in terms of how much these you know, sort of
Speaker 12: so called reciprocal tariffs that Trump has handed down really
Speaker 12: really going to impact how global trade is shaped here.
Speaker 12: All that being said, I mean, look, there are some
Speaker 12: deals that Trumps announced or has reached with some of
Speaker 12: these major trading partners that I think are obviously really
Speaker 12: worth noting here. You know, the European Union, Japan, South Korea,
Speaker 12: they accepted fifteen percent levies on their products, you know,
Speaker 12: trying to stay away from some of the even higher
Speaker 12: tariffs that Trump is negotiated. But I would also point out, Nathan,
Speaker 12: that there are still some trade agreements that seem kind
Speaker 12: of mired in ongoing negotiations. I mean, look at India,
Speaker 12: for example, another important US trading partner. They were slapped
Speaker 12: to the twenty five percent tariff last week. Now you've
Speaker 12: got Trump threatening over the next couple of weeks to
Speaker 12: increase that level into some fifty percent. You've still got
Speaker 12: you know, sort of this back and forth with what
Speaker 12: you know, potential China levees could look like. So that's
Speaker 12: another sort of open question here. So The one thing
Speaker 12: that I would just point out when it comes to
Speaker 12: a lot of this trade policy is that you know,
Speaker 12: we still I think, have to see what this ultimately
Speaker 12: looks like long term. I mean, you know, in the
Speaker 12: olden days, like literally just a year ago, you know,
Speaker 12: you would imagine these trade agreements would take not just
Speaker 12: you know, days or months, but ultimately years to effectively negotiate.
Speaker 12: And so I do think that there is that possibility
Speaker 12: that things could continue to evolve, if not even just
Speaker 12: over the next few months, maybe over the course of
Speaker 12: Trump's Terman office.
Speaker 1: Now it raises the questions once again, specifically on some
Speaker 1: of the countries you mentioned and others, including Switzerland. We
Speaker 1: saw the president of Switzerland come to Washington at literally
Speaker 1: the last minute trying to get out from under thirty
Speaker 1: nine percent tariffs, walking away without a deal. Is there
Speaker 1: still a possibility that even with these new teriff rates
Speaker 1: officially in effect, we could see even more negotiations going on.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think, And you know, Trump World, you know,
Speaker 12: everything's in negotiation, right. Yes, when you're looking at Switzerland,
Speaker 12: obviously you do have that incredibly steep tarrat thirty nine percent,
Speaker 12: you know, potentially upending you know, they're you know, there
Speaker 12: massive gold trades, you know, watches, pharmaceuticals in particular, although
Speaker 12: you know, I'd also point out Trump's got separate threats
Speaker 12: on pharmaceutical goods that are just independent from you know,
Speaker 12: these individual nation tariffs that he's announced. I do think that,
Speaker 12: you know, there is that possibility that Trump could ultimately
Speaker 12: change his mind and maybe something comes up where you
Speaker 12: do get lower rates in the future. I mean, certainly,
Speaker 12: I think you know, traders are looking at some of
Speaker 12: those possibilities. We've already seen so much change over the
Speaker 12: last several months since Trump initially you know, announced tariffs,
Speaker 12: and I think you know, when you've also just got
Speaker 12: you know, various sectors or you know, even sometimes nations
Speaker 12: try to play kate Trump with investment deals, you know.
Speaker 12: I mean, look at you know, the EU, Japan, you know,
Speaker 12: announcing these big investment deals in the United States that
Speaker 12: seems to have helped drive things a bit lower for
Speaker 12: them in terms of that overall teriff rate. It does
Speaker 12: seem like maybe there's you know, more on the table
Speaker 12: here still, even if you've been slapped with a particularly
Speaker 12: high rate.
Speaker 1: Now in the last thirty seconds, Jill there's still the
Speaker 1: overarching question of whether these tariffs are going to make
Speaker 1: the ultimate goal of spurring more US manufacturing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, you know, I obviously that's some you know,
Speaker 12: Trump's got a massive gambit here on reshaping the entirety
Speaker 12: of global trade. He's claiming, you know, these are going
Speaker 12: to trash slash trade deficits, These will push companies to
Speaker 12: move manufacturing back to the United States. I mean, certainly,
Speaker 12: you've got major companies that are already announcing, you know,
Speaker 12: major manufacturing programs and investments in the United States. But
Speaker 12: you know that could potentially take years before you actually
Speaker 12: see some of the fruits of those labors. In meantime,
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, obviously, some of Trump's biggest critics
Speaker 12: are going to say this could continue to cause inflationment,
Speaker 12: inflation to spiral out of control, cause shortages on store shelves.
Speaker 12: So I think, you know, we're obviously witnessing a very
Speaker 12: dramatic realignment of global trade, and we'll have to see
Speaker 12: how things can out.
