Speaker 2: Good good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 1: And I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.
Speaker 2: Karon, They're still talking, but there's still no deal. That's
Speaker 2: where things stand in debt ceialing negotiations between President Biden
Speaker 2: and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with the earliest possible default
Speaker 2: now just nine days away. Speaker McCarthy says last night's
Speaker 2: discussions were productive, but the Republican position is clear. We're
Speaker 2: not going to raise taxes because we bring in more
Speaker 2: money than we ever have, and we're not going to
Speaker 2: pass the clean debt ceiling, and we've got to spend
Speaker 2: less than we spent this year, and so everything else.
Speaker 6: Is open for negotiations, but.
Speaker 1: That is at the end of the day.
Speaker 7: It has to fit in that place.
Speaker 2: If President Biden released a statement after the meeting, he
Speaker 2: says he reiterated that default is off the table and
Speaker 2: the only way to move forward is to reach a
Speaker 2: bipartis in agreement. Speaker McCarthy says he plans to speak
Speaker 2: with the President every day until they reach a deal.
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, the stalemate comes a bit another warning from
Speaker 1: Janety Yellen. The Treasury Secretary, says it's now quote highly
Speaker 1: likely that her department will run out as a few
Speaker 1: cash in early June. In fact, she repeated her warning
Speaker 1: that the moment could come as soon as June.
Speaker 2: First, and as detlimit talks continue Karen Reaction pours in
Speaker 2: on both sides of the aisle. Former Democratic Senator Barbara
Speaker 2: Boxer says President Biden shouldn't have to negotiate.
Speaker 7: I do trust the President. I don't like the fact
Speaker 7: that there is a negotiation.
Speaker 1: I personally liked it better when he said he wasn't
Speaker 1: going too, but it is.
Speaker 5: What it is.
Speaker 2: The former senator. Boxer says she trusts the President not
Speaker 2: to give in on his positions. Meanwhile, former acting White
Speaker 2: House Chief of Staff mcmulvaney says, Speaker McCarthy has done
Speaker 2: a good job.
Speaker 8: I thank Kevin feels what he has held up his
Speaker 8: end of the bargain. He got his extreme right wing
Speaker 8: on board with a package that nobody thought he could pass.
Speaker 8: No one thought he could pass any package to raise
Speaker 8: the debt ceiling, but he did.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 8: I think if you ask Kevin and el Kenda, what
Speaker 8: he's worried about is he doesn't think that Biden has
Speaker 8: control over his progressive way in the same way that
Speaker 8: Kevin is working with his right wing.
Speaker 2: Mcmulvaney and Barbara Boxer were both guests on Bloomberg's Sound
Speaker 2: On Catch the program weekdays one pm Eastern on Bloomberg
Speaker 2: Radio or listen on demand wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Well, as investors deal with the possibility of a debt default, Nathan,
Speaker 1: the prospect of more rate hikes may also be in
Speaker 1: the card. Saint Louis Fed President James Bullard says he's
Speaker 1: backing more hikes this year to quell inflation.
Speaker 10: I'm thinking, you know, two more moves this year. Now,
Speaker 10: exactly where those would be this year, I don't know,
Speaker 10: but I've often advocated sooner rather than later. You want
Speaker 10: to get the downward pressure on inflation while you can.
Speaker 10: And also, you know, you want to fight inflation while
Speaker 10: the labor market's really strong.
Speaker 1: And Buller's call for more tightening is echoed by fellow
Speaker 1: policymaker Neil Kashkari. The Minneapolis Fed president, says that if
Speaker 1: the Central Bank does pause, it should not be taken
Speaker 1: as a sign that tightening is over well.
Speaker 2: JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond is also predicting more
Speaker 2: rate hikes. Karen. He spoke at the bank's Investor Day
Speaker 2: in New York.
Speaker 9: I think everyone should be prepared for rates going higher
Speaker 9: from here. You know, if that five percent none off
Speaker 9: of that funds if I and I've been advising this
Speaker 9: to clients and banks, you should be paired for six seven.
Speaker 2: Jamie Diamond, who's sixty seven years old, says he is
Speaker 2: still invigorated and has no plans to quit anytime soon.
Speaker 11: Well.
Speaker 1: Turning to the commodity markets now Nathan a warning from
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia's top energy official to oil short sellers a
Speaker 1: week before opek Plus's next meeting.
Speaker 7: I don't have to show my cards.
Speaker 9: I'm not a poker player, and I don't know poker
Speaker 9: how to play poker. But I got it from a
Speaker 9: movie somewhere.
Speaker 12: But but I.
Speaker 7: Would just tell him watch out.
Speaker 1: And that was Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulazi has been
Speaker 1: salmon speaking earlier this morning at the Cutter Economic Forum
Speaker 1: in a Doha and checking oil right now, I'm excrude
Speaker 1: oil is down a third of up percent. It's seventy
Speaker 1: one dollars eighty two cents a barrel.
Speaker 2: In Corporate news this morning, Karen TikTok is soon going
Speaker 2: to grant Oracle full access to its source code, its
Speaker 2: algorithm and its content moderation material.

Speaker 13: criticism from US policymakers who worry TikTok's ownership by China's

Speaker 6: Appen Bloomberg dot com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak.
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager with the US now just
Speaker 2: nine days from a potentially catastrophic default on its debt.
Speaker 2: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has emerged from his latest meeting
Speaker 2: with President Biden without a deal, but with a promise
Speaker 2: to keep talking.
Speaker 7: We know the deadline.
Speaker 10: I think the President and I are going to talk
Speaker 10: every day to try to find until we get this done.
Speaker 2: That was Speaker McCarthy following that White House meeting last night.
Speaker 2: For more, we are joined from Washington by Bloomberg government
Speaker 2: reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, who has been following these discussions for
Speaker 2: weeks now. Jack, good morning. We keep hearing from both
Speaker 2: sides that the talks are productive, but they haven't produced
Speaker 2: a deal just yet. So where do things stand this morning.
Speaker 12: Well, they can't really lock any partial agreement and until
Speaker 12: everything is agreed to, so they're still talking about all
Speaker 12: the issues we've heard about. They're talking about spending cuts
Speaker 12: and then caps on out year spending. The energy permitting
Speaker 12: expedited measures are still under discussion. Work requirements for nutrition
Speaker 12: aid are still under discussion, and they're probably not going
Speaker 12: to announce that they've agreed on some portion of it
Speaker 12: until they've got the whole thing locked in. They seem
Speaker 12: to all understand that this needs to happen by very
Speaker 12: early June. They're working under the assumption that June first
Speaker 12: is the deadline, and there really hasn't been any information
Speaker 12: that conflicts with that. It does look like the deadline
Speaker 12: absolutely could be in early June. They want to get
Speaker 12: this a handshake deal done as soon as possible because
Speaker 12: McCarthy is determined to get his members seventy two hours
Speaker 12: to review it before he asks for a vote, and then,
Speaker 12: of course you've still got to get it through the Senate.
Speaker 12: So they're kind of up against the wall here in
Speaker 12: terms of timing and sticking to their own schedule of
Speaker 12: allowing members to read something. So there's an expectation that
Speaker 12: they're going to really push to get something out. If
Speaker 12: not today, then absolutely as soon as possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you laid out a long list of bullet points
Speaker 2: there where there remains disagreement, and laid out very nicely.
Speaker 2: How little time there is. Does that leave enough time
Speaker 2: to get an agreement on all those points? Or can
Speaker 2: they just agree on a few things and move something
Speaker 2: forward that can at least avert a default.
Speaker 12: Well, some things can kind of fall off the map,
Speaker 12: and even recently there have been other proposals that kind
Speaker 12: of quickly got taken off the table. The White House
Speaker 12: has brought up increased revenues, closing tax loopholes, and the
Speaker 12: Republicans have been pushing back against that, you know, but
Speaker 12: the core of it really is a conversation about limiting spending.
Speaker 12: Find deciding how much they want to cut from discretionary
Speaker 12: spending in the next year, and then how low they
Speaker 12: want to cap it in the out years. A lot
Speaker 12: of things could fall into place if they agree on that.
Speaker 12: It's basically that they need to agree on a budgetary framework,
Speaker 12: and that's difficult to do to get something that McCarthy
Speaker 12: and Biden can sell to their members and get through
Speaker 12: the House and get sixty votes in the Senate. But
Speaker 12: it is absolutely possible that, you know, that's just a
Speaker 12: matter of numbers. They could agree to something very quickly
Speaker 12: if they are both determined to make some concessions and
Speaker 12: get this done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the question. You can have a framework,
Speaker 2: but there remains the question of whether it can garner
Speaker 2: enough support to pass both chambers of Congress. Do you
Speaker 2: get a sense that there would be enough bipartisan agreement
Speaker 2: to move a framework deal forward.
Speaker 12: If it gets those two principal negotiators on board. That
Speaker 12: is a very good sign. There's a lot that goes
Speaker 12: into that. McCarthy needs something that is weighted toward Republican support.
Speaker 12: They can rely on Democratic votes. They don't need two
Speaker 12: hundred and eighteen Republican votes in the House, but he
Speaker 12: needs definitely the majority of his conference, maybe something more comfortable,
Speaker 12: maybe two thirds to support this. The Senate could get complicated.
Speaker 12: You could put Senator Schumer, the majority leader, in a
Speaker 12: tough position if there are more Republicans supportive of the
Speaker 12: measure than Democrats. But it is considered a pretty safe
Speaker 12: bet that this can get sixty votes if it's got
Speaker 12: the House majority behind it and a Democratic president. It
Speaker 12: really then would be more of a concern about political
Speaker 12: leader's popularity among their own members. But if they get
Speaker 12: these two negotiators, the president and the Speaker of the House,
Speaker 12: on board, then it's had a very very good chance
Speaker 12: in both chambers.
Speaker 2: Only about thirty seconds left here, Jack, Is there any
Speaker 2: reason to think the next round of discussions could be
Speaker 2: any different, could get us closer to a deal.
Speaker 12: We're basically in continuous negotiations. Even when McCarthy and Biden
Speaker 12: aren't meeting. They've got their point people talking, and McCarthy
Speaker 12: said he may call the President on the phone if necessary.
Speaker 12: So it's not even rounds of negotiations. It's that we're
Speaker 12: all sort of waiting on news of a deal at
Speaker 12: almost any moment, probably not the early morning, but yes,
Speaker 12: they are that close. It seems that it could come
Speaker 12: in the next round, or even before a major meeting.
