Speaker 1: FED chair at Jerome Palace as Americans may have to

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: wait beyond March for a cut in interest rates, he

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: told sixty Minutes. The Fed needs more data.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: I think it's not likely that this committee will reach

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: that level of confidence in time for the March meeting,

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: which is in seven weeks. Almost all of the nineteen

Speaker 4: participants who sit around this table believe that it will

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: be appropriate in their most likely case, for US to

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: cut the federal funds right this year.

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Pal said the danger of moving too soon is that

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: the job's not quite done. Chinese stocks have tumbled further

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: in trading in Asia moments ago, the Shenzhen Composite Index

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: down five and a half percent, the CSI one thousand

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: sliding seven point two percent. The PBOC will pump a

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: trillion yawn or one hundred and forty billion dollars into

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: the financial system. It means the chance of a cash

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680

50
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump said that he might impose more than

51
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: a sixty percent tariff on Chinese imports. He told Fox

00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: News Sunday Morning Futures it would not start a trade war.

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 5: You know, obviously I'm not looking to hurt China. I

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: want to get along with China. I think it's great.

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 5: But they've really taken advantage of our country, and we

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 5: turned it around. We put big tariffs on steel. I

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 5: saved the steel companies and now is buying US steel,

58
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 5: US Steel. You know what a name that is. That's

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: the most important name fifty years ago, there was no

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 5: company like US Steel. Now that Japan is buying it,

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 5: I don't think I'd let that deal go through.

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Trump's comments on tariffs add to a
