Speaker 2: that the Central Bank could blow it off course. We
Speaker 2: spoke with the former Treasury secretary for the latest edition
Speaker 2: of Bloomberg Wall Street Week.
Speaker 9: I found the Fed's action a little bit confusing. This
Speaker 9: meeting felt like it was driven as much by the
Speaker 9: internal political dynamics of the FED as by any consistent
Speaker 9: and coherent reading of the economic situation, and that was
Speaker 9: a bit disturbing to me.
Speaker 2: Those comments from Larry Summers come after the FED paused
Speaker 2: rate hikes for the first time in fifteen months. Stay
Speaker 2: tuned for more of that conversation coming up shortly on
Speaker 2: the program.

Speaker 10: of forty seven economists we surveyed. Governor Huwaida has said
Speaker 10: the cost of prematurely tightening policy could damage Japan's nascent
Speaker 10: inflation trend, and he's not willing to risk it. Still,
Speaker 10: speculation rumbles on that a tweak may be coming in July.

Speaker 4: Good morning, Nathan. US Open courses are traditionally known to
Speaker 4: be extremely challenging, even for the best golfers in the world,
Speaker 4: not really the case of the LA Country Club, ideal
Speaker 4: conditions led to two historic rounds of sixty two Ricky
Speaker 4: Fowler and Xander Shoffley. There had only been one sixty
Speaker 4: two ever in any major Brandon Grace six years ago
Speaker 4: at the FGA. Shofley was bogey free. Fowler set a
Speaker 4: record with ten verdies. He made five birdie putts of
Speaker 4: more than ten feet.
Speaker 14: I didn't really know or see any score, and then
Speaker 14: I saw that Alexander was at seven at that point,
Speaker 14: and I'm not sure if he even knew where I
Speaker 14: was or anything, but it was kind of cool to
Speaker 14: just see if he did. To see he you know,
Speaker 14: kind of latched on and we were, you know, taking
Speaker 14: off of it.
Speaker 4: Both Fowler and Shofley have been chasing their first career
Speaker 4: major victory after numerous close calls. Although Faller had been
Speaker 4: in a deep slump the last two years, he had
Speaker 4: not even qualified to play the Open. Dustin Johnson in
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen Open winner only two shots behind the co
Speaker 4: leaders and Rory McElroy, whose only open victory was twelve

Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. It
Speaker 2: has been quite the week on Wall Street. We are
Speaker 2: coming off six straight winning sessions for stocks. We saw
Speaker 2: mixed US inflation report. Headline prices cooled while core inflation rose.
Speaker 2: Traders saw that as dubvish, And finally we got a
Speaker 2: pause in rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the first
Speaker 2: time they did not raise rates in fifteen months. Let's
Speaker 2: take stock of it all now with Larry Summers, the
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News contributor and former US Treasury secretary, sat down
Speaker 2: for a conversation with Bloomberg's Romaine Bostick. Let's listen in
Speaker 2: to part of that right.
Speaker 16: Now, Larry, let's talk about the FED meeting more importantly.
Speaker 16: That FED pause not necessarily a surprise, but do you
Speaker 16: think it was appropriate?
Speaker 9: I'm not sure. I found the Fed's action a little
Speaker 9: bit confusing. I understand the arguments for not hiking at
Speaker 9: this meeting, but those arguments wouldn't point towards signaling to
Speaker 9: further rate increases. They wouldn't point towards significantly revising the
Speaker 9: forecast towards a stronger economy and more inflation. I understand
Speaker 9: the arguments for having gone the other way, but I
Speaker 9: don't really understand the internal consistency of an approach of
Speaker 9: pausing at this meeting. But then signaling to further rate
Speaker 9: hikes down the road, and signaling that they no longer
Speaker 9: expect unemployment to increase nearly as much as they used
Speaker 9: to expect it. So this meeting felt like it was
Speaker 9: driven as much by the internal political dynamics of the
Speaker 9: FED as by any consistent and coherent reading of the
Speaker 9: economic situation, and that was a bit disturbing.
Speaker 16: They raised some of their economic projections, or at least
Speaker 16: they improved a little bit here, but you still have
Speaker 16: a market that seems to be betting on this idea
Speaker 16: of a recession, the idea that the FED itself may
Speaker 16: have actually overtightened, or at least is on its way
Speaker 16: to doing that.
Speaker 9: That would not be my best guess. I think it's
Speaker 9: very hard to read. But my best guess is that
Speaker 9: the consumer, which is seventy percent of the economy, appears
Speaker 9: to be running really quite strong. At this point. We've
Speaker 9: got very strong employment data, much faster than population growth.
Speaker 9: The indicators on wages are a bit mixed, but the
Speaker 9: ones that seem most reliable to me that adjusts for
Speaker 9: changes in the composition the labor force are showing substantial strength.
Speaker 7: So I don't see.
Speaker 9: The idea that we've got a durable reduction in inflation
Speaker 9: clearly established, nor do I see clear evidence of a
Speaker 9: slowing coming. So in that context, I think the FED
Speaker 9: has probably got to maintain a posture of moving towards restraint.
Speaker 9: But I think that they ought to decide what their
Speaker 9: balancing of risks is. And I was struck that the
Speaker 9: balancing of risks that was implicit in not moving this
Speaker 9: time was kind of inconsistent with the balancing of risks
Speaker 9: that that was signaled by the two tightenings and by
Speaker 9: the forecast revisions.
Speaker 16: I want to go overseas to China. They had a
Speaker 16: much different policy meeting coming out of the People's Bank
Speaker 16: of China a cut and there's been a lot of
Speaker 16: discussion here Larry about the health of the Chinese economy
Speaker 16: and light of the data we've gotten and a lot
Speaker 16: of some of the reports by Bloomberg and others that
Speaker 16: they are considering fiscal or at least some sort of
Speaker 16: economic stimulus measures to get that economy going back again.
Speaker 9: I think the Chinese have a very difficult set of
Speaker 9: challenges ahead of them. They're very serious financial overhangs coming
Speaker 9: out of what's happening in real estate. I take a
Speaker 9: somewhat more medium term view of it. And what's an
Speaker 9: economy about. Economy is about people and it's about capital.
Speaker 9: And what we know is that the number of births
Speaker 9: in China has fallen by almost fifty percent in the
Speaker 9: last six years. And we know that Bloomberg reported that
Speaker 9: the number of millionaires leaving China was kind of high,
Speaker 9: high by historical standards and high by global standards. So
Speaker 9: whether it's a supply of people investment in new capital,
Speaker 9: I think you've got some fundamental bets that aren't running
Speaker 9: that positive.
