1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're 3 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: following today, Karen. 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 2: The US dock workers strike is over for now. Both 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: sides have agreed to end a three day workstoppage that 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: had paralyzed trade on the East and Gulf coasts and 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: threatened to become a factor in the presidential election. The 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: International Longshoreman's Association and the US Maritime Alliance extended their 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: previous contract through January fifteenth. We get more from Bloomberg's 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: Kate Davidson. 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 3: One of the things that they wanted were greater protections 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 3: against the kind of automation that we've seen at ports 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: on the West coast. So that was a real sticking point. 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 3: This tentative agreement doesn't address that, but it does go 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 3: some way toward addressing some of the wage demands. So 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: they've agreed to a temporary deal that would at least 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 3: allow them to start moving cargo again, and that was 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: under some fairly intense pressure from the White House. I 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 3: think over the past few days and in the meantime 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: between now and January fifteenth, I have to keep working 21 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: on that broader contract agreement. 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Skate Davidson says the two sides will restart negotiations 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: today on a long term agreement, which would include a 24 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: pay increase of about sixty two percent. 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, we want to get you updated now on 26 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: the latest developments in the Middle East. Israel has carried 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: out huge bombing rates overnight near Beirut Airport, aimed at 28 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Hezbola commanders and facilities. Yesterday, oil surged after President Biden 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: said the US was discussing whether to support potential Israeli 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure. 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 4: You support Andreil striking Lan oil facilities service. 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: We're in destructure. I think that would be a little enteray. 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: And that was President Biden speaking to reporters outside the 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: White House yesterday. Stuart Livingstone Wallace, the head of a 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: Bloomberg News's Middle East and North Africa coverage, has more 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: on Israel's options. 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 5: The old services do remain an option, and they are 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 5: to some extent quite vulnerable. You know, a lot of 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 5: it's concentrated, particularly on the export term at carg Islands, 40 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 5: well within the capabilities of Israel's military. However, it does 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 5: have very serious consequences both for the global economy and 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: particularly you know when they run up to the US elections. 43 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 5: And the last thing I suspect the US administration wants 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 5: is you know, sudden rising gas prices. 45 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: At the pump and Bloomberg's Stewart Livingstone Wallace says the 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Middle East accounts for about a third of the world's 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: oil supply, and Iran is the third and largest producer 48 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: in OPEC. 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: Now, Karen, let's turn to the latest in the presidential race. 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: Former President Donald Trump plans to hold a rally tomorrow 51 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: in Butler, Pennsylvania, the same site where a gunman tried 52 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: to take his life in July. Trump was in Saginaw, 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: Michigan yesterday, railing against the Biden administration's border policies. Your 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: borders will be gone forever. 55 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: They already are when you think of it, right, we 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: don't have any borders. 57 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: You're a border state now, you know. They welcome congratulations. 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: As fort Tomorrow's Pennsylvania event, there is a special guest, 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: Elon Musk, the billionaire posted on x that he will 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: be there to support Trump. The rally will come exactly 61 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 2: one month before election day. 62 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Nathan and Vice President Kamala Harris is getting support 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: of her own on a campaign trail from Republican Liz Cheney. 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 6: A broad coalition has come together to support Vice President 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 6: Kamala Harris. Now we may disagree on some things, but 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 6: we are bound together by the one thing that matters 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 6: to us as Americans more than any other, and that's 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 6: our duty to our constitution. 69 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: And the former congresswoman and longtime Trump critic joined Harris 70 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: and rippon Wisconsin, in the town where the Republican Party 71 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: was founded. Harris says Cheney's endorsement matters a great deal. 72 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 7: It is so admirable when anyone does it, and especially 73 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 7: when it is difficult to do in an environment such 74 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 7: as this. But Liz Cheney really is a leader who 75 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 7: puts country above party and above self, a true patriot. 76 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: And before this event, former President Trump told Fox News 77 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: that Cheney's support would hurt Harris. He called the former 78 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: congressomeman a quote stupid warhowk and Karen. 79 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: As the campaign enters its home stretch, Harris is about 80 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: to get even more support on the stump from Barack Obama. 81 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: The Harris campaign says the former president will spend the 82 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: final four weeks before election day, campaigning for the vice 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: president and other Democrats, starting next Thursday in Pittsburgh. Obama's 84 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: kicking off his fall campaigning a little earlier than he 85 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: did four years ago. He waited till October twenty first 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: to hold his first in person event for his former 87 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: vice president, Joe Biden. 88 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Well, let's turn to the markets now, Nathan and futures 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: their little change. This morning, ahead of a key jobs report, 90 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: economists are looking for a gain of one hundred and 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: fifty thousand jobs in September, we get a preview from 92 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Michael McKee. 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: Will it be a case of hard to forecast or 94 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: just a hardy economy? Bloomberg's Economists survey has estimates ranging 95 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: from seventy thousand to two hundred and twenty. The consensus 96 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 4: is hiring will be little changed from last month, a 97 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: bit slower than a few months ago, but not collapsing. 98 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 4: Unemployment is forecast to be unchanged, but a big miss 99 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: either way would not be a huge surprise. September payrolls 100 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: tend to undershoot the consensus, but other labor market data 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 4: are consistent with an unusually high gain, so a wide 102 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: range of market reactions is possible. Michael McKee, Bloomberg Radio. 103 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: All right, Mike. Thanks. Checking the richness scoreboard, Jeff Bezos 104 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: is no longer the world's second richest person. More on 105 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: that from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner. 106 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 8: Mark Zuckerberg is now in the number two spot on 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 8: the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His net worth is just over 108 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 8: two hundred and six billion dollars, one point one billion 109 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 8: ahead of Bezos. Even so, Zuckerberg is still behind Elon 110 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 8: Musk by nearly fifty billion dollars. So why the change 111 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 8: in net worth rankings. Well, the value of Zuckerberg's thirteen 112 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 8: percent stake in meta platforms keeps rising. It's due in 113 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 8: part to his big bet on the metaverse. At first, 114 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 8: it looked like a colossal bust, but it appears to 115 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 8: have paid off so far. This here, Meta shares are 116 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 8: up more than sixty four percent, and the stock closed 117 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 8: Thursday at an all time high. 118 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: In New York. 119 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 8: I'm Doug Prisoner, Bloomberg Radio. 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: All right, Doug, thank you.

The European Union has voted to 128 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 2: impose tariffs as high as forty five percent on electric 129 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: vehicles from China, in a move that is set to 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: increase trade tensions with Beijing. Sources say the European Commission, 131 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: the Blocks Executive Arm can now proceed with implementing the duties, 132 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: which would last for five years. 133 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: Honest time now for a look at some of the 134 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: other stories making news in New York and around the world. 135 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: Michael, good morning, Good morning, Karen. 137 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 9: The death toll from Hurricane Aleen has climbed to two 138 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 9: hundred and fifteen, with many still unaccounted for. President Biden 139 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 9: flew to the South yesterday to inspect the damage in 140 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 9: Florida and then visiting a devastated farm in Rays City, Georgia, 141 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 9: once again vowing to help stricken residents. 142 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 10: We're really in this together that we're separate state where 143 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 10: the United States of America. 144 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 9: In the Ashville area, the North Carolina National Guard. They're 145 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 9: working around the clock to get supplies out into the field, 146 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 9: but with the hundreds of roads unpassable, troops can only 147 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 9: go so far. Volunteers are using pack mules to get 148 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 9: insulin up the mountain to families in need. Meanwhile, Donald 149 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 9: Trump is blasting the Biden administration for its response to Helene. 150 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 9: Campaigning and Saginaw, Michigan. The former president said the federal 151 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 9: response to the storm has been the worst in history. 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 9: Trump responded after the Homeland Security Secretary of warrened FEMA 153 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 9: may not have enough funding to make it through the season. 154 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: Kamalas spent all her FEMA money billions of dollars on 155 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: housing for illegal migrants. 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 9: However, a White House spokesman says FEMA disaster relief is 157 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 9: completely separate from the agency's shelter and Services program, which 158 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 9: provides grants to cities. A jury has reached a verdict 159 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 9: in the trial of three former Memphis police officers and 160 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 9: the death of Tyree Nichols in twenty twenty three.

Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. 233 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: The White House may be breathing a pretty big sigh 234 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: of relief this morning, now that the dock workers strike 235 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: along the Gulf and East coasts is on hold. President 236 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: Biden is sounding hopeful that the long Shortman and the 237 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: terminal operators will get to a deal. 238 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 10: Dockworkers are going back to work, and the next ninety 239 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 10: days we're going to settle everything. 240 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: Was President Biden outside the White House last night, saying 241 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: that over the next ninety days, both sides will settle everything. 242 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: In his words, Joining us for more this morning is 243 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: Bloomberg New Senior Editor Bill Ferries. Bill, Good Morning. This 244 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: situation could have been more and more politically damaging for 245 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: the White House the longer it went on. So what 246 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 2: is the political impact potentially now that this strike is 247 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: over for now? 248 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 14: Well, you're right, Nathan, I mean what is the political impact. 249 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 14: I mean, at the very top of that list of 250 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 14: things would be that it takes a big headache and 251 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 14: potentially worsening headache off the play to the Democrats just 252 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 14: four weeks before the election. Listen to the White House. 253 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 14: The administration has a lot on it plate right now. 254 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 14: It's dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. There's still 255 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 14: you know, search and rescue going on for that, It's 256 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 14: got this widening crisis in the Middle East, and really 257 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 14: the last thing you need on top of that, The 258 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 14: last thing the administration wanted on top of that was 259 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 14: this crisis at the ports with potentially disrupting the delivery 260 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 14: of some goods, with a lot of you know, thousands 261 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 14: of workers going on strike complaining about wages, it was 262 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 14: not going to be a good look for the administration 263 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 14: if that dragged on, and the economic costs we're going 264 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 14: to build up to potentially as much as five billion 265 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 14: dollars a day if this kept going even as it is. 266 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 14: It's the authorities are saying it will take about twelve 267 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 14: days to clear the backlog of ships off of those 268 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 14: southern and Eastern US ports that had built up in 269 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 14: really just about three days of the strike. 270 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: So we could see a continued economic impact as we 271 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 2: get through that backlog. But now that the sides have 272 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: given themselves another three months to work out a new contract, 273 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 2: is that going to be enough time given how far 274 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: apart both sides are on the issue of pay and automation. 275 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think automation is going to be the real 276 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 14: sticking point heading forward. You know, they've set this January 277 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 14: fifteenth deadline to deal with that. They do seem to 278 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 14: have some kind of an agreement on the wage side 279 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 14: in terms of a sixty one percent wage increase over 280 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 14: the next six year contract. I think there's still a 281 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 14: lot of details there to be worked out, but that 282 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 14: gets them part of the way towards a final deal, 283 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 14: and then automation is going to be the second part 284 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 14: of that. But I think, you know, it gives them 285 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 14: the time to reach a deal. It also kicks us 286 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 14: well past the election. So if there is a strike 287 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 14: that starts up in January it's going to be either 288 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 14: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris's problem to deal with, but 289 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 14: it's not going to affect the election at that point. 290 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: And as you mentioned, the White House and Kamala Harris 291 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: to some extent do have a lot on their plates, 292 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: including Hurricane Helene and this escalating situation in the Middle East. 293 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: Did the President make a pretty significant gaff here with 294 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: this comment that Israel is in discussions about going after 295 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: oil targets in Iran. 296 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 14: Well, you know, you saw how seriously the markets take 297 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 14: those kind of comments. You know, when the President of 298 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 14: the United States speaks, markets listen, and he said that 299 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 14: there is some consideration or discussions going on about whether 300 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,479 Speaker 14: Israel should hit Iranian oil facilities, and West Texas Intermediate 301 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 14: jumped more than five percent right off the bat. Markets 302 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 14: are very jittery about what could happen here Iran. Despite 303 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 14: all these sanctions it's had on it for about six years. Now, 304 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 14: Iran is producing, you know, I think it's just over 305 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 14: three million barrels of oil a day, mostly purchased by China. 306 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 14: But that really helps alleviate some of the price pressure 307 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 14: on the international market. If some of that capacity is 308 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 14: taken offline. You know you'll get another spike in oil prices, 309 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 14: and that translates the gasoline costs at home, and that's 310 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 14: not a winner for anybody politically. 311 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 312 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 313 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 314 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 315 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 316 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 317 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 318 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 319 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: XM Channel one twenty one. 320 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 321 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 322 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
