But there's a significant amount of uncertainty 67 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 8: around that outlook, and the recent data lead me to 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 8: believe that it's just going to take longer than previously thought. 69 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: Boston Fed President Susan Collins says the Fed remains focused 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: on bringing inflation back to its two percent target. 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: And those comments from Susan Collins john come ahead of 72 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: consumer price data coming next week and following the smallest 73 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: gain in six months for non farm payrolls last week. 74 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Richard Clarina, former Vice chair of the FED and current 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: Global Economic advisor at PIMCO, says he still expects the 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: Fed to be patient and remain data dependent. 77 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 9: Since the beginning of the year, the inflation numbers have 78 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 9: been going in the wrong direction, and also especially I 79 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 9: think what's relevant here is an element of risk management, 80 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 9: so I think there is path dependence. The fact that 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 9: the last three years inflation has been well above target. 82 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 9: I think it makes it a harder call to cut preemptively. 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Richard clarieda of PIMCO says if he were still fed 84 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Vice chair he would not consider cutting rates right now. 85 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: And meanwhile in Europe, markets are points for a stronger 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: signal on when the Bank of England will cut interust rates. 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: With the Bank of England decision coming today.

I'm Nathan Hager. Israel is facing even more 233 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: pressure in public and in private as it considers a 234 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: full scale attack against Hamas in the southern Gaza city 235 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: of Rafa. The US is already delayed one weapons shipment 236 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: to try to stop Israel. Now President Biden is warning 237 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: even more deliveries could be put on hold unless Israel 238 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: does more to protect civilians and joining US Now for 239 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: more from Dubai is Bloomberg Middle East Anchored Jumana Burseetschi Jamana. 240 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: Good morning. So what is the latest that the president 241 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: is saying? How is it being received in the Middle East? 242 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 16: Yeah, so significant development overnight. I think it's worth emphasizing 243 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 16: here that this is the first halt in military shipments 244 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 16: we've seen out of the US to Israel since the 245 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 16: October seventh attack, and so from that perspective, it is 246 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 16: really quite significant and does pose a bit of a 247 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 16: questions about the nature of their leadship right now between 248 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 16: US and Israel. Yesterday it emerged that they had decided 249 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 16: to hold the shipment of about three five hundred bombs 250 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 16: to Israel in anticipation of this assault on Napha. Of course, 251 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 16: yesterday Israel did take over that key border crossing on 252 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 16: the border with Egypt that is a key pathway for 253 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 16: the passage of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. And 254 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 16: the major concern from the US perspective is the mounting 255 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 16: number of civilian casualties in addition to a growing humanitarian crisis. 256 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 16: About one point five million people still live in fact, 257 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 16: one point one million are estimated to be in a 258 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 16: category five of hunger, which in other words is means 259 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 16: a're very close to acute famine situation. So many people 260 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 16: around the world, they're getting very concerned about the humanitarian 261 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 16: crisis that could be looming. 262 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 6: But for now, what. 263 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 16: We see is there has been a limited assault so 264 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 16: far from Israel. They have not gone for that full 265 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 16: blown ground offensive that had been talked about the last 266 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 16: couple of months, and clearly the US are trying to 267 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 16: put some pressure on them now to scale back and 268 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 16: to hold back the background. Of course, Nathan is on 269 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 16: the sidelines in Cairo this week. There are some top 270 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 16: level discussions taking place between in cut Our, Egypt, and 271 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 16: of course representatives from the US, Israel, and Hamas to 272 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 16: find some sort of an agreement on a true scale. 273 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 13: Yeah. 274 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: So it speaks to the difficult balance that the US 275 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: is trying to strike here, trying to show that its 276 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: support for Israel, as it said, remains iron clad, well, 277 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: trying to keep these hostage negotiations and ceasefire negotiations continuing. 278 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: What is the balance that the US is trying to 279 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: strike and how is it being received in Israel right now? 280 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 16: Exactly? So that is the key question here, because I 281 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 16: think it is also worth emphasizing that in that interview 282 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 16: that President Biden gave yesterday to CNN, he also said 283 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 16: we are not walking away from Israel's security, We are 284 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 16: walking away from Israel's ability to wage war in those 285 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 16: areas specifically those areas. Also again worth reminding people that 286 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 16: this is a pause in these shipments, the specific shipments 287 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 16: that I mentioned, those three five hundred bombs. But you 288 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 16: may recall that not so long ago, the US did 289 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 16: pass a Buil that allowed for a package of a 290 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 16: to be delivered to Israel that include further military assistance 291 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 16: and economic assistance that will remain untouched. So that is 292 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 16: still going ahead. As far as the Israeli response, we 293 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 16: haven't got an official response out of the Nataniahu office, 294 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 16: but very outspoken members of the cabinet, more hawkish members. 295 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 16: The National Defense Minister Ben Gavier put up a tweet 296 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 16: saying Hammas love Biden. Very strong statement from his side. 297 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 16: Many have expressed this pleasure with the US decision and 298 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 16: have said that US needs to be focusing on Hamas 299 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 16: and restraining Hamas rather than Israel at this point. 300 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 301 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 302 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 303 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple's Spotify and anywhere else you 304 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 305 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 306 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 307 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in wash Ten, 308 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg one oh six y one in Boston, and Bloomberg 309 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: nine sixty in San Francisco. 310 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station, is also available on your 311 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
