It's a little bit unfair 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 5: for them not to have some. A ballistic missile is 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 5: not the same thing as what we're talking about when 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 5: we talk nuclear, But if Saudi Arabian, Qatar and they 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 5: all have some, I would say, in relative proportion, I 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 5: think it's so good. 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 4: Speaking at the G seven, summited remarks heard live on 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 4: Bloomberg Radio, President Trump also defended the three hundred billion 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 4: dollars development program that's included in the agreement. 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: We have their money. We have taken them our money. 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 6: It's their money, and we froze it at a certain 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 6: point in time. 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: I guess we're going to have to give it back. 24 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 6: You know, if we didn't give it back, nobody would 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 6: ever invest in the dollar again. 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 4: And despite President Trump's assurances, it is unclear whether Ron 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 4: has begun taking steps to fully reopen the strait of 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 4: Hormos Well. 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: Nathan Bloomberg Middle East, corresponded to aber ambu Omar, says 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: the interim deal opens the door to sixty days of negotiations. 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 7: Mainly about the nuclear program, mainly about Iran's ability to 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 7: get a hold of those frozen assets if it falls 33 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 7: apart and the concessions are not met. President Trump did 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 7: threaten military strikes could go back again if he doesn't 35 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 7: like the situation. 36 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's a Bier abu Omar reporting from Dubai.

Katie Kaminski's chief research strategist at Alpha Simplex. 56 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 4: She says the downward pressure on well makes sense, but 57 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: carries some risks. 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 8: The hopes that things just open and then everything's going 59 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 8: to be fine may be a little bit optimistic, and 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 8: I think that's a worry that we do see because 61 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 8: you still see some long signals in energies. But I 62 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 8: think it's really going to depend on how that precedes 63 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 8: the next week or so, and so I think if 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 8: the energy shock ended or will be ending. That's very 65 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 8: positive for markets. 66 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 4: Katie Comminski at Alpha Simplex says Oil's move is a 67 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 4: positive sign for risk assets, the FED and inflation. 68 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: There are more moves in geopolitics.

I am 85 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 10: pleased to report that members of the FMC are unambiguous 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 10: and unanimous.

I suspect 93 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 10: from our discussion the last couple of days because they said, 94 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 10: at this moment in time, it doesn't feel as though 95 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 10: providing forward guidances right. Others have I'd say, different views 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 10: and think as a general proposition, forward guidance isn't the 97 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 10: business we should be in. 98 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: Chairman Warsh also says he'll have FED staff and outside 99 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: experts review the Central banks forward guidance and communication practices, 100 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 4: including the dot plot. 101 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: Well Kevin Morris's comments Nathan they sparked a sell off 102 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 3: in short term treasuries and a pile into bets. The 103 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: Federal raise interest rates as soon as next month. JP 104 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: Morgan Asset Management Fixed Income CIO Bob Michael says it 105 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: was a hawkish tilt. 106 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 11: It is a hawkish tilt from the committee. Half of 107 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 11: the committee is expecting rate hikes this year, which is 108 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 11: I think a real shot across the bow to the market. 109 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 11: We were thinking two, maybe three to be decorative. We 110 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 11: didn't think half the committee, so you know, it's something 111 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 11: quite different. 112 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 3: And JP Morgan's Bob Michael says a rate hike this 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: year is certainly possible, giving inflationary pressures from AI spending 114 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: in the Iran War. 115 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: Let's take a look quickly at SpaceX shares Karen.

Still, the shares are more 120 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 4: than forty percent above their IPO price. The low float 121 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: amplifies the impact of retail buying in the pre market. 122 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 4: SpaceX shares recovering a bit.

Crude oil 209 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: continuing to sink is what's good for the market, good 210 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: for the world. 211 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Jathan. 212 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 15: In the very short term, it is, of course, But 213 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 15: the proof's going to be in the pudding, and the 214 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 15: pudding is whether the Straight reopens or not. And we're 215 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 15: certainly going to know that soon enough either the either 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 15: the Iranians are going to make good on their initial 217 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 15: promise to reopen the Straight or they're not. And from 218 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 15: there we're going to figure out whether or whether or 219 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 15: not this memorandum of understanding has potential to lead to 220 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 15: something even more binding and comprehensive or not. 221 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: There's still some questions about the Strait itself, aren't there? 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 4: About whether there's going to be a mechanism in place 223 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: for Iran and alman to maintain some level of control 224 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 4: over the Strait of Hormuz. Could this leave us in 225 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: a different position in the Strait than we were before 226 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 4: the war. 227 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 15: Well, there's some potential of that, sure, and you accurately 228 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 15: described the situation. I would add one other factor in 229 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 15: that situation, which is that all the nations on the 230 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 15: west side of the Strait, Saudi Bahrain, Uae, etc. Are 231 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 15: very much interested in invested in maintaining the preconflict status quo. 232 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 15: So that gets resolved in the past sixty days, That 233 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 15: gets resolved in negotiations. But I imagine that there's going to 234 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 15: be a lot of weight and a lot of pressure 235 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 15: placed on around to make sure that the strait remains open. 236 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 15: Let's remember here that the one of the major incentives 237 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 15: in this deal for around is having the you know, 238 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 15: the Gulf States, which Trump last year called the major 239 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 15: non native allies of the United States, you know, invest 240 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 15: in Iran in order to not just rebuild it, but 241 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 15: frankly kind of keep it on side. 242 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 4: Of course, there's a debate already building in Washington about 243 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 4: what comes after this interim agreement. The President suggested that 244 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: maybe the nuclear file isn't as important as it might 245 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 4: have been in the past, talking about access to Iran's 246 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: frozen funds as well as whether it has the right 247 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: to develop ballistic missiles. Is the US potentially conceding too 248 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: much following the interim agreement? 249 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 3: Uh? 250 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 15: The you know, the I understand the the kerfuffle about 251 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 15: ballistic missiles. But at the same time, uh, there has 252 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 15: never been a situation of denying uh Iran conventional means 253 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 15: to defend itself. Uh So, you know, you have that. Uh, 254 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 15: and I imagine all that I imagine today. My instinct is 255 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 15: that gets clarified. Uh, there is a potential giving them 256 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 15: too much short but again, Uh, you know, one thing 257 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 15: I would mention, mention to folks and point out is 258 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 15: that this is not a deal just between the United 259 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 15: States and Iran. This is a construct I've been calling 260 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 15: the four legged stool where the Gulf States and China 261 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 15: have been important and even essential to making this sort 262 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 15: of a deal. 263 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: Uh. 264 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 15: Their interests all push in the direction of not wanting 265 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 15: Iran to be unfettered. So uh, you know, the directional 266 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 15: area today I think is a tentative at tentatively in 267 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 15: that direction. 268 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: Got about a minute left here. 269 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 4: But on top of all this, Defense Secretary hag Seth 270 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 4: just announced a six month review of the US military 271 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 4: posture and basing in Europe. Where does the US NATO 272 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 4: relationship stand now, Terry. 273 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 15: I've always been non consensus on the POD none because 274 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 15: as a positive on the US NATO relationship, the you know, 275 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 15: the United States has been the blustering, controlling for a decade. 276 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 15: For that, the Europeans should make good on their defense 277 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 15: budget promises to NATO. Some of them have after a decade, 278 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 15: some of them still haven't as we well known for 279 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 15: well known for the UK, the NATO Alliance remains strong 280 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 15: and the other But I would point out forced posture 281 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 15: means where it also means where those troops should be placed, 282 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 15: and we've moved troops out of Germany but into Poland, 283 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 15: which you that preliminary force posture tends to be a 284 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 15: little bit more aggressive than detractors suggest that it is. 285 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 4: Thank you for this, Terry is always good to get 286 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: your thoughts this morning after a number of major developments geopolitically. 287 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: That's Terry Haynes, the founder of Pangaea Policy. 288 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: Karen nathan Less repeat some of our top stories.

There were, you know, certainly 314 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 17: several changes of foot on. It was a bit low 315 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 17: substance in terms of I mean, very affirming in the 316 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 17: statement this committee will deliver price stability. That is a 317 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 17: message everybody wants to hear. That's a reality everybody wants 318 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 17: to see. But we didn't get a lot of information 319 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 17: on Well, how how do you expect to do that now. 320 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 17: I know it's the first you know, his first press conference, 321 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 17: first FED meeting as the chair, and so you know, 322 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 17: we should measure our expectations. But it was there was 323 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 17: a lot to process. There's a lot of moving pieces 324 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 17: here in terms of kind of changing the leadership and 325 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 17: not you know, we'll see how they deliver. 326 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't say much about how it will happen, 327 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: but he did promise a lot of task forces. He's 328 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: going to look at a lot of practices that the 329 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: FED uses. He's going to take a look at the 330 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: balance sheet, so there might be changes in more information 331 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: maybe later in the year. 332 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 17: That's true, and I do welcome the idea of how 333 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 17: it sounded like the task forces that Kevin Worsh's assembling 334 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 17: will have outside perspectives. So it's not just going to 335 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 17: be inside FED officials FED staff. That will include some 336 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 17: FED staff, he said, you know, so it's good to 337 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 17: bring in outside perspectives. It was wide ranging. Five task force. 338 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 17: I mean, this is a big lift. What I found, 339 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 17: maybe a little puzzling, was oh, well, their work will 340 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 17: be done by December, and I mean these are big questions, 341 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 17: like first principles what causes inflation and the flat Like 342 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 17: these are really deep questions that each of the five 343 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 17: task force are asking, but they're on a really short timeline. 344 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 17: So then it makes you wonder exactly what's going to 345 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 17: come out of this, and also are any of those 346 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 17: five task force going to unlock the path to price stability? 347 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 17: It really isn't clear. Well, we'll get out of that, 348 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 17: but I think long term it's beneficial to have outside 349 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,239 Speaker 17: perspectives coming way in. 350 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 3: Now, what about the question of FED independence? Did you 351 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: make anything from the fact that hey, he didn't count 352 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 3: how to any of President Trump's demands to immediately cut 353 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: interest rates? Does that mean we might see a more 354 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 3: independent FED than some had feared? 355 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 17: This felt more like a FED focused on monetary policy day. 356 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 17: It I think there really was a shift that while 357 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 17: there were big differences from say any of recent FED chairs, 358 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 17: it did feel more like a focus on monetary policy. 359 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 17: It didn't feel like, you know, the audience was the 360 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 17: president of the day, as it maybe did still at 361 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 17: the hearing, because confirmation hearing, So I think that that's 362 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 17: a positive. So, you know, and there was a signal 363 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 17: maybe not from Kevin Warsh, he didn't participate in the 364 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 17: Summary of Economic Projections, but there was definitely a signal 365 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 17: from many of the committee members that it could be 366 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 17: appropriate to raise raids this year, which is very much 367 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 17: at odds with what the White House would like to 368 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 17: see from the Fed. 369 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't participate in the dot plot, but that 370 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 3: was to be expected, really, wasn't it. 371 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 17: It wasn't surprising, but I think it still was disappointing 372 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 17: because the Summary of Economic Projections they're not perfect and 373 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 17: they're often misunderstood, but they are actually an exercise in 374 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 17: answering that question of well, how do you plan to 375 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 17: deliver price stability? 376 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 14: Right? 377 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 17: Because those forecasts, that dot plot, it's actually not just forecast, 378 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 17: it's what each official things would be appropriate, Like what's 379 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 17: it going to take to get to maximum employment and 380 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 17: price stability at the end of the kind of projection 381 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 17: over the next few years. So you know that going 382 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 17: through that exercise of like what would it take, and 383 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 17: you had half the committee saying it's probably going to 384 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 17: take some raid hikes. Another half of the committee said no, 385 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 17: we can hold, or maybe one person said we could cut. 386 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 17: So I think that going through that exercise of like 387 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 17: how might we deliver given what we know now, price 388 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 17: stability is a useful exercise. So I think it's unfortunate 389 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 17: that Worsh didn't participate in it, and he did kind 390 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 17: of undercut it in the press conference. But you know, 391 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 17: maybe they'll find a better tool for having that kind 392 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 17: of discussion and then presenting it to the public. 393 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 3: Were you able to take enough away to make any 394 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: kind of indication of what the FED might do going forward, 395 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: at least in the short term. 396 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 17: So I think it's important. I have very little feel 397 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 17: for what Kevin Worsh would like to see in terms 398 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 17: of policy. I think he's playing it really close to 399 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 17: the vest. But I do think that there's to take 400 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 17: very seriously a shift on the committee, a willingness to 401 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 17: raise interest rates. And it's notable because in the statement 402 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 17: they also pointed at the fact that a lot of 403 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 17: this inflation is supply driven. Typically, traditionally the FED looks 404 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 17: through supply driven inflation, and this Fed there's many people 405 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 17: saying enough is enough. Nonetheless, we should be raising rates. 406 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 17: So I think I think the kind of market reaction to 407 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 17: this that this is a fad that really could be 408 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 17: moving on rates sometime this year. I think that's an 409 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 17: accurate reflection where the committee is. 410 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 411 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 412 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 4: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 413 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 4: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 414 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 415 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 3: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 416 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 417 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 418 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 3: serious XM Channel one twenty one. 419 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 4: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 420 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 4: now with Applecarplay and Android Atuto interfaces. 421 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
