121
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: frigid temperatures and the possibility of another winter storm this weekend.

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: Let's get the latest now from Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen.

123
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 12: Craig, Good morning, Good morning Nathan, and good morning Karen.

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 12: New York City right now is at thirteen Boston fourteen,

125
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 12: Washington fifteen degrees. So yes, the first thing that we've

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 12: mentioned here is the coal. The suburbs of all these

127
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 12: cities have readings that are in the single digits and

128
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 12: the wind chills are also in the single digits to

129
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 12: near zero. So you're absolutely right. We are starting off

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 12: with bitter, bitter coal temperatures again, and this isn't going away.

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 12: That's lasting through the weekend for sure. Now, let's break

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 12: this down by region for the upcoming possibility of a snowstorm.

133
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 12: There's definitely going to be a snowstorm across the South Carolina,

134
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 12: North Carolina, southern Virginia. How close is this going to

135
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 12: get to Washington, d C. Well, there are winter storm

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 12: watches in effect as far north as the southern parts

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 12: of Virginia. I think DC could get grazed by this.

138
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 12: I think New York City, especially east of the city

139
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 12: across Long Island and the eastern sections of New England

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 12: will get grazed by it as well. And definitely Boston

141
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 12: will be in the works, especially out towards Cape cod

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 12: so heavier amounts east and south based on last night's

143
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 12: weather maps, and lighter amounts off to the west and north.

144
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 12: It's still wobbling, guys, so there is still the chance

145
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 12: of going back and forth on this forecast. We'll have

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 12: more on that as we go through the morning, Nathan,

147
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 12: Karen own's good.

148
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: All right, Craig Allen, thank you, and of course we

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: will be checking back in with you throughout the morning.

150
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: As you said, we want to turn to the economy now.

151
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: Where as I expected, the FED held rates steady, and

152
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's John Tucker joins us with the very latest John,

Speaker 13: Good morning Karen. This marks the first rate pause since July,

155
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 13: and at his news conference after the decision, heard here

156
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 13: live on Bloomberg Radio, Fed shared jer impalaces they're still

157
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 13: waiting to see the impact of tariffs before committing to

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 13: rate cuts.

159
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 14: The expectation is that we will see the effects of

160
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 14: tariffs flowing through goods prices peaking, and then starting to

161
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 14: come down.

162
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 13: With a decision to hold state rates steady yesterday was

163
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 13: approved on a ten to two vote, with the governors

164
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 13: Christopher Waller as Stephen Myron dissenting in favor of a cut.

165
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 13: Waller's descent in favor of a rate cut seen as

166
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 13: keeping him in the race to replace pal As Cheer

167
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 13: of the Federal Reserve in New York. I'm John Tucker,

168
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 13: Bloomberg Radio.

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: All right, John, thank you for seeing commodities rally this morning.

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: In fact, gold is up for ninth straight day, surging

171
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: above fifty five hundred dollars and outs. The rally's been

172
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: fueled by a week or dollar and investor flight from

173
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: sovereign bonds and currencies. Spot gold has risen by nearly

174
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: thirty percent this year.

175
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: Time now for a look at some of the their

176
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: stories making news in New York and around the world.

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

178
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 15: Michael, good morning, Good morning Karen. Former New York Mayor

179
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 15: Eric Adams is responding to criticism about the budget from

180
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 15: current mayor zoron mcdone. The newly sworn in Democratic Socialist

181
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 15: mayor argues additional money from the state is necessary because

182
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 15: the city faces a fiscal crisis created by Adams and

183
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 15: by a push from former Governor Andrew Cuomo to shift

184
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 15: costs from the state onto the city.

185
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 16: We did not arrive at this place by accident. This

186
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 16: crisis has a name and a chief architect. In the

187
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 16: words of the Jackson five, it's as easy as ABC.

188
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 16: This is the Adams budget crisis.

189
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 15: And Donnie says over two years, New York is steering

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 15: at a twelve point six billion dollar budget gap. Adams

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 15: refuted the claim, saying the city was upgraded by bond

192
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 15: rating companies and had ample reserves Under his leadership. President

193
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 15: Trump warned Iron to make a nuclear deal with the

194
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 15: US or faced military strikes far worse than the attack

195
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 15: he ordered last June. Ron said it stands ready for

196
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 15: dialogue based on mutual respect and interests, but warned that

197
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 15: it will defend itself and respond if pushed. Police a

198
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 15: man repeatedly crashed his car into the Habbad Lubovich World

199
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 15: headquarters in New York City. The incident happened last night

200
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 15: while people were gathered for prayer of the acidic Jewish site.

201
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 15: No one was injured, Police Commissioner Jessica Tish.

202
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 11: This incident is.

203

Speaker 10: Currently investigated as a game crime by the Nypolice Gate

204
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,480

Speaker 3: Time now for our Bloomberg Sports update, and for that

210
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: we bring in John Stashauer.

211

Speaker 12: Thanks Darren.

212
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 17: Fifty nine year old Todd Monkin named the new coach

213
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 17: of the Cleveland Browns. He was an assistant once with

214
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 17: the Browns, then went to Georgia. Last three years he's

215
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 17: coached the offense in Baltimore. The NBA trade deadline next

216

Speaker 17: a calf injury. The Bucks are said to be open

219
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 17: to listen to trade offers involving Giannis Lebron James back

220
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 17: at Cleveland, maybe for the last time, and the Cavs

221
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 17: blew out the Lakers by thirty at your Bloomberg Sports Update.

222
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: Stay with us more from Bloomberg day Break coming up after.

223

226
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: Good morning on Nathan Hager, the AI spending boom is

227
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 4: in full swing and the biggest names in big tech

228
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: are being rewarded for it if they can show it's

229
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: paying off. This morning, investors seem to think that's the

230
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: case for Meta platforms. For Microsoft not so much. Joining

231
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: us this morning is Man Deep Saying, Global head of

232
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: technology research for Bloomberg Intelligence.

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 15: Man Deep.

234
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: We heard Meta says it's going to spend up to

235
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty five billion on capex this year.

236
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 4: Microsoft just this quarter thirty seven and a half billion

237
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: Meta shares up, Microsoft shares down. What gives.

238
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, So in the case of Meta, I mean, the

239
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: core business seems to be accelerating, and what they highlighted

240
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: last night was, look, I mean, we are spending all

241
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: this money, but we already see some return in terms

242
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: of our ad conversions, better recommendation systems, and eventually we

243
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: will be launching separate products in terms of, you know,

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: having an AI assistant that will work within the apps

245
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: content generation tools. So the investors seem to have given

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: them a green light in terms of, you know, investing

247
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 2: upfront with the hope that they will launch new products

248
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: that can that they can monetize you know later in

249
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: the year, So clearly that core business acceleration was key

250
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: in the case of Microsoft. I mean, it was a

251
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: fine quarter. The Azure growth was thirty eight percent instead

252
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: of thirty nine percent, and what they said is, look,

253
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: we are using a lot of the GPUs internally to

254
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: develop our new applications instead of renting them out, you know,

255
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: on Azure. And from that perspective, they are supply constraint

256
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: like all the other companies are. And you know, I

257
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: kind of feel like everyone is, you know, compute constraint

258
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 2: right now. So that's where memory prices are having an impact,

259
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: and all the things that are going on in terms

260
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: of the price this is are having an impact around

261
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: you know, what these companies are able to do around

262
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: creating that infrastructure. So overall, it was a very good

263
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: quarter for Microsoft. It's just expectations were slightly higher, and

264
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: that's where probably the investors stand. Like that Azure print.

265
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: So in just thirty seconds, man, deep, how does that

266
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 4: set us up for when we're going to hear from

267
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 4: Apple later on today?

268
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean memory prices. So Microsoft called out how memory

269
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: prices are having an impact on their Windows sales. So

270
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: I do expect Apple to acknowledge memory prices impacting their

271
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: gross margins, and we'll find out if it's if it

272
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: had an impact on their hardware sales during the quarter.
