So 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 4: there does seem to be a real impetus on both 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 4: sides to get towards a formal understanding on trade, because 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 4: that's all about paving the way for a meeting between 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 4: their leaders later this year. And you know, cgmping is 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 4: not going to agree to a meeting unless there's a 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 4: proper agreement that they can tout at the time. And 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 4: so the mood music from the US side, at least 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 4: what we're hearing this morning is pretty. 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: Good, and Bloomberg's ros mathis and reports Secretary best It 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: also said the US and China are very close to 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: resolving the TikTok issue. President Trump talked about TikTok before 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: he boarded Air Force one. 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 5: Negotiating TikTok right now, we may let it die or 23 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 5: we may I don't know. It depends up to China. 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 6: It doesn't matter too much. I'd like to do it 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 6: for the kids. 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 7: They like it. 27 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 5: I mean, selfishly speaking, I did very well in TikTok, 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 5: and I got the youth. 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: For TikTok, which is owned by China's Byte Dance, faces 30 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: a deadline this week to reach a deal to continue 31 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: operations in the US. 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Nathan As trade talks continued.

It is interesting, of course, the timing, 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 8: because this happens as the talks of continuing between the 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 8: US and China im Madrid on trade, and no doubt 38 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 8: semiconductors in the chip industry will be part of that conversation. 39 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 8: Number two. It follows additional actions by China over the 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 8: last forty eight hours or so, including anti dumping measures 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 8: and further scrutiny of the sale of other chips into 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 8: the Chinese market. So it's a reminder that China is 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 8: signaling to the US that it has costs to play. 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: And as Bloomberg's Tom McKenzie and Vidia shares are down 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: more than two and a half percent in early trading and. 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 3: Karen, President Trump is also weighing in on the Federal 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: reserves highly anticipated rate decision this week.

It's perfect 52 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: for cutting. And the thing that he's hurting ross is 53 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 5: housing for people. But because we're doing well and everything, 54 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 5: energy is way down, groceries are down, everything, almost everything 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 5: is way down. But housing because of the FED is 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 5: not what a shipper. 57 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: The FED makes its policy decision on Wednesday, stay tuned 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: for a special edition of Bloomberg's Surveillance on that day, 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: starting a one thirty pm All Street time on Bloomberg Radio, 60 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Television, and the Bloomberg Podcast channel on YouTube. 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: Nathan.

I'm Nathan Hager. Treasury Secretary Scott Bess and 207 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: his touting progress with China and a second day of 208 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: talks in Madrid. He says they're very close to resolving 209 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: the TikTok issue, though other issues could be cropping up. 210 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: And joining us for the latest is Bloomberg's Jill Desis 211 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 3: following developments from Hong Kong this morning. Jill, what is 212 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: the latest when it comes to those discussions. We heard 213 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: a lot of talk about getting the TikTok issue resolved. 214 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 3: At the same time, there may be new complications when 215 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: it comes to what China is doing with Nvidia. Good morning, Yes, 216 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: that's right. 217 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 14: Good morning, Nathan. So, first of all, you know, on 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 14: these TikTok issues, we've got Bess in meeting with his 219 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 14: Chinese counterparts today in Madrid. Those talks are ongoing. We 220 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 14: may have more to hear from Bess and on those 221 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 14: in just a few hours from now, but ultimately he's 222 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 14: saying that the US and China, as you mentioned, are 223 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 14: very close. He did say that the Chinese side made 224 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 14: what he called an aggressive ask in talks. We're not 225 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 14: entirely sure what that was about, but I think does 226 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 14: just kind of stress that this is a bit of 227 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 14: a complicated matter here, and so I think there's likely 228 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 14: more to come on that front. Remember that there is 229 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 14: a deadline for a TikTok sale that the US has 230 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 14: imposed for Wednesday, although Trump has kind of floated the 231 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 14: idea that that may be something that's delayed. So I think, 232 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 14: you know, we'll have to see what the outcome of 233 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 14: these talks are. But as you mentioned, all of this 234 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 14: is really kind of brewing. As we've just heard that 235 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 14: China ruled that in Nvidia Corporation violated anti monopoly laws 236 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 14: with a really high profile twenty twenty deal, and so 237 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 14: I think that dropping Obviously, the timing is really really 238 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 14: interesting coming during the middle of these talks, and we've 239 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 14: yet to see whether that complicates things. 240 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is interesting to see that come up just 241 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: now when we've also got new economic data coming out 242 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: of China that shows a pretty significant slow down continues 243 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 3: in that country. You've got to think there's got to 244 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: be some level of pressure on China to come to 245 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: some kind of middle with the US. 246 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 14: Yes, I do think that it kind of, you know, 247 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 14: brings that idea into question of, you know, how exactly 248 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 14: is China going to resolve some of these issues, because, 249 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 14: as you mentioned it, that China data, I mean really 250 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 14: poor investment data in particular, I think worst outside of 251 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 14: worse on record outside of just during the twenty twenty 252 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 14: coronavirus pandemic. So you're seeing some really poor numbers. They're 253 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 14: raising some expectations about whether or not China actually steps 254 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 14: in with some kind of stimulus. But when you've got 255 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 14: some of these unresolved issues with the United States, is 256 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 14: they're more on trade? You know, we do have Trump 257 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 14: just in recent days floating the idea of really hefty 258 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 14: tariffs on China because of its purchases of Russian energy. 259 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 14: So I think all of that really does kind of 260 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 14: enter the equation here. And ultimately what we're waiting for 261 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 14: is this prospect too of a potential meeting between Donald 262 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 14: Trump and Chinese President Chijinping that could come some time 263 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 14: within the next six weeks. But you do have to 264 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 14: wonder whether, you know, any kind of resolution on some 265 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 14: of these issues that the US and China are working 266 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 14: through whether that be TikTok now in Nvidia, maybe you know, 267 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 14: trade relations, whether that could potentially styin me those efforts 268 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 14: to bring Trump and Sheet to the table together. 269 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: Just thirty seconds left here, But as we're seeing signs 270 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: of our own economic slow down in the US, particularly 271 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: the labor market, these comments from President Trump saying he 272 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: expects a big cut from the Fed this week, what 273 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: could we be set up for? 274 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, so you had, you know, President Donald 275 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 14: Trump is saying, I think you have to have a 276 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 14: big cut. That's a direct quote from Trump telling reporters 277 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 14: on Sunday he said, it's perfect for cutting. I think, 278 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 14: you know, obviously, the really really important thing to remember 279 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 14: here is that, you know, while Trump has obviously long 280 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 14: criticized Jerown Powell and the Federal Reserve over their progress 281 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 14: on cutting interest rates, the idea of some kind of 282 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 14: an outsized cut that's really far from median expectations right 283 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 14: now the media and US made from Bloomberg survey of 284 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 14: economists is for a twenty five basis point reduction. You know, 285 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 14: that's something that we're seeing price into markets. But you know, 286 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 14: I think that does just kind of hit at this 287 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 14: idea that I think Trump has you know, pretty aggressively 288 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 14: made known his feelings on the Federal Reserve, obviously has 289 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 14: tried to work to shape the Board of Governors more 290 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 14: in his favor. This to me is very classic Trump, 291 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 14: just continuing to appine on the Fed in a way 292 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 14: that we really have rarely seen with you know, with 293 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 14: the presidents before. 294 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: This is Bloombergy day Break, your morning podcast on the 295 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 296 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 297 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 298 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 299 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 300 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 301 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 302 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 303 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 304 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 305 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
