Here 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today. 4 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 3: Alexis who began with the latest developments in the Middle East, 5 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 3: where fighting continues. The US military struck Iran for a 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: second straight day, and Tron retaliated against American allies and 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 3: the Persian Gulf. President Trump spoke to reporters on Air 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: Force One. 9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 4: We just said him very hard, and I say, we 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 4: hit up twenty to one. Every time they hit us, 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 4: We're gonna hit up twenty and we did it last night. 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 5: They did a little. 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 4: Something today, but it was really retribution for last night. 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 4: They hit actually three votes, not two, and we hit back. 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: Much on US Central Commands as it targeted arounds, air 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, and missile and drone storage. 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 2: And the renewed fighting is raising fears that the tit 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: for tat attacks may do rail talks on a permanent 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: peace deal. Both the US and Iran are accusing each 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: other of violating a memorandum of understanding that established a 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: short term truce. We get more from Bloomberg Middle East 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: reporter Patrick Sykes. 23 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 5: The moment, it's more strikes than talks. Remember, we have 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 5: a kind of suspension of the talks at the moment 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 5: while the funeral proceedings for the former Supreme Leader Alicomedy 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 5: are going on, that is to conclude today with his 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 5: burial in Mashad. In the meantime, yeah, we have these strikes. 28 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 5: The strategy from the US side seems to be to 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 5: use them to let's say, pressure Iran into compromising. I 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 5: think in particular on the Strait of Hormu's front. Iran 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 5: is still insisting that it have some kind of sovereignty 32 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 5: over the future state of the Straight of Hormos, control 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 5: over the passage of ships within it. That's something that 34 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 5: of course the US and many other countries are still 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 5: very much resisting. 36 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Patrick Syke says another issue yet to be resolved 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: is the release of billions of dollars of frozen funds 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: to the Islamic Republic. 39 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: Well Alexa's The potential unraveling of a fragile truce between 40 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: the Iran and the US has renewed anxiety over fuel 41 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: prices traffic through the Straight up were removes came to 42 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: a near standstillm Chris Kennedy covers energy markets for Bloomberg. 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 6: Our base case is still that we are in that 44 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 6: sort of escalation and then the escalation period. But of 45 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 6: course these are pretty significant attacks. Two nights in a row. 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 6: Iran is taking hits to some of their missile stockpiles, 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 6: et cetera. And I think there is a risk that 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 6: we will see some retaliation from Iran that could do 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 6: some more lasting damage to export infrastructure, to oil production 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 6: and gas production infrastructure in the Gulf, and that would 51 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 6: of course have much longer term impacts on energy security. 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: And Bloomberg Energy reporter Chris Kennedy. Right now, oil is 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: falling after gaining more than six percent the past two sessions. 54 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: Checking West Texas Intermediate, it's down sixtensive percentage seventy three 55 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: dollars eleven cents a barrel Brent at seventy seven dollars 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 3: fifty five cents. 57 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: And Karen Major political news this morning here in the US, 58 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: Graham Platner suspended his Senate campaign in Maine. Bloomberg's John 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: Tucker joins us now with more. Good morning, John, and 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: alecsu Is. 61 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 7: The move by Platner follows sexual assault allegations. The forty 62 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 7: one year old Oyster farmer and military veteran posted a 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 7: video on social media. 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 8: I know that some will think it's an admission of guilt, 65 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 8: and it most certainly is not. 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 5: We're not doing it because of the allegations. 67 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 8: We're doing it because of the structures that are being 68 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 8: taken away from us by those in power. 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 7: But following the allegations, support from fellow Democrats collapsed. A 70 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 7: crucial race for the party is now in turmoil. The 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 7: main Democratic Party is going to hold a nominating convention 72 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 7: to choose a new nominee. The process to replace a 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 7: Platner needs to play out before a July twenty seventh deadline. 74 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 7: The race to try and defeat Republican Senator Susan Collins 75 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 7: is considered a must win seat and they find to 76 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 7: take back the chamber. If Democrats lose main their path 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 7: to the majority is far more difficult. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg. 78 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: Radio, Right, John, thank you.

That they observed that 96 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 9: both core and total inflation had moved higher. Generally attributed 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 9: to the increases to the lingering effects of tariffs, supply 98 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 9: chain disruptions, and the related to the closure of the 99 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 9: Strait of. 100 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 2: Removes Bloomberg Tyler Kendall's as policymakers will next look to 101 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: the release of June consumer price data on Tuesday. 102 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: In company news, Alexis traders are looking forward to the 103 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 3: US debut of sk Heinex, which is expected on Friday. 104 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: Right now, demand for the South Korean based memory chip 105 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: maker and the US is strong.

Speaking on Air Force One on the 190 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: way home from the NATO summit in Turkey, the President 191 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: said he's not sure if this means the US and 192 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 3: Iran will return to a full scale war. 193 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: We have any ways we could win, but we've already 194 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: won militarily. Take e very little, never little left. And 195 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: they want to make a deal so badly. They called 196 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 4: a little while ago.

Abir, thanks for being here. Get us 200 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: up to date. Please, what's the latest on the fighting 201 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: with Iran. 202 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, good morning, Karen. Look what we're seeing right now 203 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 11: is a muted reaction. 204 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 8: Really. 205 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 11: The retaliation by Iran has been hitting countries in the 206 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 11: GCC that includes Bahinan and kuwaitin earlier saying that intercepted 207 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 11: missiles out of Iran. Kuwait saying similar things as well 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 11: about attacks that have happened overnight into the early hours 209 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 11: of the morning that have affected some infrastructure there. Iran 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 11: also saying that the attacks by the United States on 211 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 11: the country have been have killed over a dozen people, 212 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 11: injured some seventy eight people or so, and then that 213 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 11: they affected some bridges in the eastern side of the country. Now, 214 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 11: the reason I say these are muted reactions is because 215 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 11: this is not dissimilar from actions that we've seen over 216 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 11: the past couple of months or so, with Iron starting 217 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 11: by attacking ships in the Strait of Hermus and then 218 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 11: the US retaliating. Now, what we know from President Trump 219 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 11: is that he said yesterday at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, 220 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 11: is that according to him, or as far as he's concerned, 221 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 11: ceasefire talks are over. But then in his own narrative 222 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 11: and his own remarks. He said, but the negotiators, namely 223 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 11: Jared Kushner and Steve Woodcoff, can go on and continue 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 11: those talks, and so we're seeing the back and forth 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 11: in his own narrative, in his own remarks, and this 226 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 11: all suggests that we might see a return to an 227 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 11: escalation that certainly feels like it's been the case over 228 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 11: the past couple of days. But neither the market nor 229 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 11: a lot of people on the ground seem to think 230 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 11: that we're gonna go back to a state of kinetic 231 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 11: warfare that we saw back in March, where the entire 232 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 11: region is dragged into it. And that is why you're 233 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 11: seeing Brent crude and y Crude is well reversing gains 234 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 11: earlier in the session. So escalation foreshore. This is the 235 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 11: most serious escalation since the MU was reached in June. 236 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 11: But we keep an eye out on the situation and 237 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 11: the standstill of the movement in the strait of her moves. 238 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 11: That's also another very important element here, straight of her 239 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 11: moves and the assertion of dominance of Iran on the waterway. 240 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 11: We keep an eye out on that and whether those 241 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 11: shipments and ship owners return to making their movement through 242 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 11: the waterway. 243 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, because this latest fighting has cut traffic and the 244 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 3: Strait of War moves. As you said, it has pretty 245 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 3: much come to us standstill for the moment, at least today. 246 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: So it sounds like ships are no longer getting through. 247 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 3: So if the fighting well continues to escalate, that will 248 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: certainly upset President and I would imagine it would continue 249 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 3: to fuel any kind of retaliations. 250 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 11: Absolutely, and I mean this is exactly what Iran has 251 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 11: woken up to, right the fact that they have this 252 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 11: much leverage over the Strait of Her Moves. Look, perhaps 253 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 11: they already had known that they could have this much leverage, 254 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 11: but the fact that they're using it just shows you 255 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 11: that in the Middle East right now, it looks like 256 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 11: the paradigm of how things are going to be done, 257 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 11: especially in the Strait of Her Moves, may change forever. 258 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 11: This might be the new reality, not just Her Mooves 259 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 11: telling ships and ship not just Iran excuse me, telling 260 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 11: ships and ship owners to stick to roots that it 261 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 11: had laid out, but also possibly once the negotiation period 262 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 11: is over, Iran says and is adamant on the fact 263 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 11: that it will start charging tolls and fees to those 264 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 11: tankers that are making their way through the strait of 265 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 11: her moves. And not only with this upset the US 266 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 11: and President Trump, but also countries in the GCC that 267 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 11: depend on the strait of her moves, and this is 268 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 11: why you're seeing the UAE Saudi Arabia doubling down on 269 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 11: other roots. For the time being, we're still seeing Brent 270 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 11: below the eighty dollars per baron mark. So that's, you know, 271 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 11: possibly good news for President Trump and his coming term 272 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 11: elections in November, but still it's it's definitely it does 273 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 11: feel like there's a new reality at playing here and 274 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 11: that is something that Iron is aware of. 275 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 276 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 277 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 278 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 279 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 280 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 3: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 281 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 282 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two to nine in Boston, and nationwide on 283 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: serious XM Channel one twenty one. 284 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 285 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 286 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
