Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Good morning.
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Amy Morris. Here are the
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.
Speaker 1: Amy Francis. Benchmark stock market is down nearly two percent.
Speaker 1: The euro is trading at a one month low. This
Speaker 1: comes after election results in Brussels. French President Emanuel mccron
Speaker 1: has plunged his country into political uncertainty, dissolving the lower
Speaker 1: House of Parliament and calling new legislative elections. That's after
Speaker 1: his party came a distant second to the Marine Le
Speaker 1: Panz far right in Sunday's European Parliament vote. Speaking to
Speaker 1: the nation after the polls closed, Macrone said, the National
Speaker 1: Assembly election is a chance to determine France's future.
Speaker 3: So this is you.
Speaker 2: This is a serious and weighty decision.
Speaker 4: It's an act of trust confidence.
Speaker 5: You mission, my dear compatriots, the ability of the French
Speaker 5: peace to make the just choice for themselvesmen and for
Speaker 5: future generations.
Speaker 1: I was French President Macron, speaking through an interpreter. Now,
Speaker 1: his position is head of state won't be directly affected
Speaker 1: by the upcoming vote, but his ability to push through legislation,
Speaker 1: the power to choose a like minded prime minister and
Speaker 1: the credibility of his political project will all be on
Speaker 1: the line in election that Sunday's results suggests he is
Speaker 1: likely to lose and Nathan.
Speaker 2: Far right parties also made gains elsewhere in Europe. In Germany,
Speaker 2: Chancellor Oloff Schultz Social Democrats recorded their worst ever EU result,
Speaker 2: following the third place behind the far right Alternative for
Speaker 2: Germany and the center right Christian Democrats. And in Italy,
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Georgia Maloney's right wing Brothers of Italy party
Speaker 2: won twenty nine percent of the vote, compared with just
Speaker 2: six percent in the twenty nineteen elections. Now, despite these results,
Speaker 2: the centrist alliance that backed Ursula Vonderland to become EU
Speaker 2: Commission President maintained its majority, led by her European People's Party.
Speaker 6: We won the European electtion.
Speaker 1: We are by far the strongest party.
Speaker 6: We are the anchor of stability.
Speaker 2: Herstel Of Vonderline plans to begin talks with our allies
Speaker 2: and the Socialist and Democrats and Centrist renew groups on
Speaker 2: securing their support. Today.
Speaker 1: Well, in Italy, I'm sorry. In India, Amy Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Narendramodi has been sworn into office for a third consecutive term,
Speaker 1: extending his leadership for another five years. That followed a
Speaker 1: bruising electoral setback that's forced him to share power in
Speaker 1: India for the first time.
Speaker 2: And we're seeing changes in the Israeli government. Benny Gantz,
Speaker 2: a centrist member of Israel's three man war cabinet, has
Speaker 2: announced his resignation, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Nataniahu of mismanaging
Speaker 2: the war effort. We get more from Bloomberg's at Jumana Borsecci.
Speaker 7: The symbolism here is he, of course, was one of
Speaker 7: the more moderate members of the Natagna Who governments. And
Speaker 7: while it doesn't mean that the government itself is going
Speaker 7: to fall apart, because natagna Who will still have sixty
Speaker 7: four seats in the kanessset alongside his coalition partners, what
Speaker 7: it does mean is that he will be more reliant
Speaker 7: on some of those more right wing members of the governments,
Speaker 7: and one of them, the National Security Minister Ben Gavie,
Speaker 7: is actually pushing for a position on the war cabinets.
Speaker 7: He's one of the more hawkish members of the governments
Speaker 7: as it stands, and has been adamant that natagia who
Speaker 7: should not be signing onto this Biden ceasefire proposal.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Demani Brassecci says Gance joined Nettayahu's government shortly after
Speaker 2: the October seventh Tamas attack.
Speaker 1: And on the heels of Benny Gonz's resignation. Secretary of
Speaker 1: State Anthony Blincoln heads back to the Middle East today
Speaker 1: in a last ditch attempt to push a ceasefire deal.
Speaker 1: President Biden has put the proposal forward as an Israeli one,
Speaker 1: but both Israel and Hamas have distanced themselves from it.
Speaker 1: White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says the ball
Speaker 1: is in Hamas's court.
Speaker 5: We're waiting for them to communicate to Kutar in Egypt,
Speaker 5: two of the mediators involved.
Speaker 8: In the hostage negotiations.
Speaker 5: And we are hopeful that with enough of a co
Speaker 5: trus the international community all speaking with one boy, Jamas
Speaker 5: will get to the right answer.
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke on ABC's This Week
Speaker 1: Heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio. Secretary of State Blincoln lends
Speaker 1: today in Egypt, he'll meet with senior officials, including President
Speaker 1: Abdolpha ta Lcci, and then he heads to Israel, where
Speaker 1: he is expected to meet with Prime Minister net Hanyahu,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: Back here in the US. Donald Trump will be interviewed
Speaker 2: today by New York Probation officers. They'll submit a sentencing
Speaker 2: recommendation for the former president.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: The interview will help determine how much time, if any,
Speaker 2: Trump will spend behind bars. It will be conducted virtually,
Speaker 2: Trump at his home in Florida and the probation officers
Speaker 2: in New York. Trump's sentencing is scheduled for July eleventh,
Speaker 2: after his conviction for falsifying business record records. Rather, he
Speaker 2: has vowed to appeal amy.
Speaker 1: Let's turn to markets now, a double dose of macroeconomic
Speaker 1: catalysts are coming on the same day. On Wednesday, we
Speaker 1: get a report on consumer prices in the morning, then
Speaker 1: that afternoon the FED make an interest rate decision. Mohammad Larian,
Speaker 1: Queen's College Cambridge president and Bloomberg opinion columnists, says last
Speaker 1: Friday stronger than expected jobs report all but rules out
Speaker 1: a rate cut this summer.
Speaker 5: Look, it's reasonable for a FED that is over the
Speaker 5: data dependent. There's no way they can cut or signal
Speaker 5: a cut in July.
Speaker 9: With this data.
Speaker 5: They would have to change their reaction function and be
Speaker 5: public about it, and I don't see the FED doing this,
Speaker 5: so that's why the door is shut.
Speaker 1: Mohammadel Aarian spoke on Bloomberg a last Friday, following the
Speaker 1: main jobs report and the options market sptting the S
Speaker 1: and P five hundred will move one and a quarter
Speaker 1: percent in either direction on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: And before we get all that economic data, investors are
Speaker 2: going to hear from Apple. The company is holding its
Speaker 2: developers conference later today. Bloomberg Intelligence tech analyst Matthew Bloxam
Speaker 2: says it'll show whether the iPhone maker can become a
Speaker 2: major player in the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence and
Speaker 2: whether that can drive sales.
Speaker 10: Big fans really about whether this's going to kickstart a
Speaker 10: new smartphone supercycle. Obviously, over the last few years we've
Speaker 10: seen smartphone sales generally on the slide, and if you
Speaker 10: look at the way this being positioned, these AI features
Speaker 10: that they're going to announce are only going to really
Speaker 10: be available on the new versions of the phone. So
Speaker 10: it's going to be does Apple do enough with these
Speaker 10: AI features to make people think, actually, I really want
Speaker 10: to upgrade to get access to these new features.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Bloxam says the announcement will lay
Speaker 2: out that Apple is a serious player in the AI space.
Speaker 2: Time now for a look at some of the other
Speaker 2: stories making news in New York and around the world.
Speaker 2: And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael bar Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 9: Good morning Amy. Former President Donald Trump zeroed in on
Speaker 9: his criminal conviction and prosecutors at a campaign rally in
Speaker 9: sweltering heat in Las Vegas Sunday afternoon. Trump also denounced
Speaker 9: Nevada's Democratic senator, who is up for reelection.
Speaker 2: With your help, we're going to when Nevada. We're going
Speaker 2: to defeat your Biden loving radical.
Speaker 3: Left senator Jackie Rosan, who's terrible.
Speaker 9: Those who attended the rally had mixed reviews of the
Speaker 9: former president. These Vegas voters talked about why they support
Speaker 9: Trump the.
Speaker 8: Decline in Biden. You're like, man, how can you vote
Speaker 8: for him?
Speaker 5: You know, are we better now than we were a
Speaker 5: few years ago?
Speaker 6: Probably not.
Speaker 8: You know, I'm myself a nun.
Speaker 9: Softly, however, this Vegas voter supported Nicki Haley before she
Speaker 9: dropped out of the race and is uneasy about seeing
Speaker 9: the former president back in office.
Speaker 5: The denial of fact scientific fact in the case of
Speaker 5: COVID to denial of the election are difficult for.
Speaker 9: Me to accept. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden warned against the
Speaker 9: rise of isolationism in the US while visiting an American
Speaker 9: military cemetery in France that Donald Trump skipped six years ago.
Speaker 9: Biden said he could not fathom the idea that I'd
Speaker 9: come to Normandy and not make the short trip here
Speaker 9: to pay tribute.
Speaker 11: I think it as a measure of a country's support
Speaker 11: for democratic failures that they honor those who've risked their
Speaker 11: lives and lost their lives.
Speaker 9: Biden said the World War One erasemetery was the final
Speaker 9: resting place for soldiers who fought in the deadly US
Speaker 9: Marine Corps battle. The criminal trial of President Joe Biden's
Speaker 9: son is heading into its final stretch. Hunter Biden's lawyers
Speaker 9: could call at least one more witness when the case
Speaker 9: resumes today in Delaware's federal court. Biden himself. He is
Speaker 9: charged with three felonies stemming from the October twenty eighteen
Speaker 9: purchase of a gun he had for about eleven days.
Speaker 9: Prosecutors say he lied on a mandatory gun purchase form
Speaker 9: by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.
Speaker 9: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you
Speaker 9: want it with the Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Michael Barr,
Speaker 9: and this is Bloomberg Gaming.
Speaker 2: All right, Thank you, Michael.
Speaker 4: Nine.
Speaker 2: Now for our Bloomberg Sports update, and for that we
Speaker 2: bring in John stash Hour.
Speaker 3: Good morning John, Good morning Amy. After Game one in
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, Dallas coach Jason Kidds said Jalen Brown
Speaker 3: was the Celtics' best player. Some perceived that as a
Speaker 3: slight of Jason Tatum. What's clear through two games, Boston
Speaker 3: doesn't rely on one player, a big reason. They're fourteen
Speaker 3: and two in the playoffs. They're two wins from the
Speaker 3: championship in Boston. Tatum didn't shoot well six of twenty two,
Speaker 3: but Brown scored twenty one points, Drew Holliday at twenty six,
Speaker 3: shooting eleven of fourteen. South Picks beat them as one
Speaker 3: oh five ninety eight for a two to nothing series,
Speaker 3: leading on ESPN Holiday praise Tatum.
Speaker 6: I think I just got the opportunity. I would say
Speaker 6: a lot of it was JT was taking the basket.
Speaker 6: They were double teaming him and he was back in
Speaker 6: the right play. I don't know if he had a
Speaker 6: triple double, almost had not rebounds, but the way that
Speaker 6: he played to night, the way that he let us
Speaker 6: get into the paint, making plays, finding me wide open,
Speaker 6: it was alid on.
Speaker 3: Him look down such for Dallas scored thirty two at
Speaker 3: a triple double. You only scored three points of the fourth.
Speaker 3: He had eight turnovers. First words from Dan Hurley. Since
Speaker 3: news are the Lakers pursuing him, he said he's impressed
Speaker 3: by the Lakers, but loves coaching Yukon. Hurley says he'll
Speaker 3: make his decision today whether to change jobs at the stadium.
Speaker 3: Yankee Salva was one of the Dodgers winning six to
Speaker 3: four big three run homer six ending by Trent Grisham,
Speaker 3: who filled in all weekend for the still injured one
Speaker 3: so another homer for Aaron Judges, twenty fourth. He's hit
Speaker 3: eighteen in his last thirty four games. And London Mets
Speaker 3: didn't take their first lead till the ninetheenning then held
Speaker 3: on to the bottom of the game ending double play.
Speaker 3: They beat the Phillies six to five, Red Sox back
Speaker 3: to five hundred, beat the White Sox in ten innings
Speaker 3: Nationals a seven run fourth inning to meet Atlanta eight five,
Speaker 3: and the Oils finished to sweep at Tampa Bay ninety
Speaker 3: two Grand Slam for Adlie Ruschman. Twenty one year old
Speaker 3: Carlos Alcarez, the youngest to win Grand Slams on three
Speaker 3: different services, took the French Open final with Sasha Za
Speaker 3: Savera of coming back to the two sets to one deficit.
Speaker 3: He had done that in the semifinals as well. Scotti
Speaker 3: Scheffler won Memorial Golf in Ohio, his fifth win of
Speaker 3: the year. John Stashedwer Bloomberry's.

Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. It
Speaker 1: is attack to the right in Europe. Far right parties
Speaker 1: have handed massive defeats to German chants. They're all off
Speaker 1: Schultze and French President Emanuel mcclo in European Union elections
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and now mcclo is calling early elections
Speaker 1: of his own to try to stop the rise of
Speaker 1: his right wing rival perennial rival Marine Lapine in France.
Speaker 1: And for more we are joined by Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
Speaker 1: anchor Stephen Carroll, who has been very busy covering the
Speaker 1: EU elections for US from Brussels. Stephen, good morning. I
Speaker 1: think we knew going in that centrist parties were vulnerable,
Speaker 1: but just how much of a surprise was this result
Speaker 1: for the far right of really sweeping things in Germany
Speaker 1: and France.
Speaker 8: Well, that's what's really interesting, Nathan about this story is
Speaker 8: that actually the center held its majority in the European Parliament.
Speaker 8: So in a big pan European picture, not that much
Speaker 8: change for the parties that have been in power and
Speaker 8: that are likely to stay in power at least being
Speaker 8: able to nominate a European Commission president and for the
Speaker 8: next five years in the EU. It's the individual country
Speaker 8: stories where we're seeing those sort of reactions. So you
Speaker 8: mentioned Germany. The party of Olas Schultz, the chancellor in Germany,
Speaker 8: had its worst performance ever in a European parliament election.
Speaker 8: We saw an increase in support to the AfD, the
Speaker 8: far right party there, but also a shift to voters
Speaker 8: back to the CDU, the Christian Democrats, the party formerly
Speaker 8: of Angelo Merkel, so a shift towards the center right
Speaker 8: among voters there as well, the Greens too being punished
Speaker 8: in Germany. The French result is particularly interesting because, actually,
Speaker 8: if you compare it to opinion polls, the score that
Speaker 8: Emmanuel Macron's party got of just under fifteen percent and
Speaker 8: the score that Marie Le Penz party got on the
Speaker 8: far right of around thirty two percent, isn't that far
Speaker 8: off what polls were predicting. Even the surprise was what
Speaker 8: Emmanuel Macron decided to do about it. He's calling legislative
Speaker 8: elections that will happen now at the end of this
Speaker 8: month as two rounds of voting, so the thirtieth of
Speaker 8: June and the seventh of July, giving voter the chance
Speaker 8: to elect a new National Parliament and perhaps setting up
Speaker 8: one of these really wonderfully French political situations. It's called cohabitation.
Speaker 8: That's where you get a president from one party and
Speaker 8: a prime minister from another. He's essentially saying to the electorate,
Speaker 8: if you want to give the National Rally Party, that
Speaker 8: party of Marrying lapenat chance to govern, here's their chance.
Speaker 8: Knowing full well that he as president is safe in
Speaker 8: his job and he'll still remain retain a line share
Speaker 8: of the power.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a fascinating move by the French president. It
Speaker 1: almost seems like it's becoming a theme in Europe. I mean,
Speaker 1: we saw Richie Sunek just a few weeks ago call
Speaker 1: an early election when his chips were down. I mean,
Speaker 1: how big a surprise is this that Emanuel mccrawl would
Speaker 1: call the snap election just a few hours after the
Speaker 1: results came in in Brussels.
Speaker 8: We're told from our sources in Paris that in fact,
Speaker 8: very few people, even within Emmanuel Macron's own circle, knew
Speaker 8: that this was coming until the last minute. So this
Speaker 8: was part obviously of Emmanuel macron strategy. He wanted to
Speaker 8: also surprise the electorate. If you think about it and
Speaker 8: take a step back, though, it's perhaps not that surprising
Speaker 8: because Emmanuel Macron, although his party is the largest in
Speaker 8: the French Parliament, doesn't have a majority and they've been
Speaker 8: struggling to get some key measures through the parliament so far.
Speaker 8: So the idea of throwing it open to an election,
Speaker 8: it wasn't entirely off the cars the cards. Rather, before
Speaker 8: this election, but he's taking a gamble. Some are calling
Speaker 8: it an audaciously bold step. Some are saying that it's
Speaker 8: a really big risk for Emmanuel Macron.
Speaker 1: Does this put the pressure on Germany's Chancellor all Off
Speaker 1: Schultz as well to call earlier elections given the result
Speaker 1: against his party.
Speaker 8: Not quite, because the political system works in a slightly
Speaker 8: different way in Germany. So actually pulling this sort of
Speaker 8: move wouldn't work under the German system because Olaf Schultz
Speaker 8: would lose power, whereas with Emmanuel Macron, because the Parliament
Speaker 8: only has some of the power and most of it
Speaker 8: lies with the president. Emmanuel Macron can do this knowing
Speaker 8: that he'll still be able to function as a president,
Speaker 8: although weakened in his role as head of state, whereas
Speaker 8: if Olaf Schultz did the same thing and lost the election,
Speaker 8: he would be out as chancellor and someone else would
Speaker 8: get in. So it speaks to the intricacies the individualities
Speaker 8: of the European political systems as well. It's worth pointing
Speaker 8: out that not all incumbents had a bad day. Georgia
Speaker 8: Maloney in Italy, her party is extremely well in these
Speaker 8: European elections, and in Spain, Pedro Sanchez managed to hold
Speaker 8: on to his level of support for his party. They
Speaker 8: came second, But when you look at what's happening over
Speaker 8: the border in France, I think perhaps he could be
Speaker 8: quite relieved that he came second in these elections.
Speaker 1: So just in our last thirty second, Stephen, what could
Speaker 1: these results mean for cohesion in the European Union.
Speaker 8: The European Union looks like it will proceed to nominate
Speaker 8: our slavanderline as the next European Commission President. That's in
Speaker 8: the gift of the leader. Then it goes to the Parliament,
Speaker 8: but on the numbers, they have the numbers in Parliament
Speaker 8: to be able to pass their the European commissioned President.
Speaker 8: But I've always with European politics, plenty can change between
Speaker 8: now and then.
