1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today. 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the new salvo in President Donald 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 3: Trump's global trade war. So called reciprocal tariffs are now 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 3: in effect for roughly sixty countries, bringing duties around the 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 3: world to levels that haven't been seen in a century. 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 4: They've ripped us off left and right. 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: But now it's our turn to do the rippin'. 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 5: That's okay. We're gonna make our. 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 6: Country even stronger, stronger than it ever was. 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: Speaking at a Republican fundraising event, President Trump said tariffs 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 3: are already bringing in two billion dollars a day, and 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: he said they're leading to negotiations. The President says he 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: had a great call yesterday with South Korea's acting president. 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: He also spoke with this week to Japan's Prime minister, 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: who urged the president to reconsider. 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: And Asian nations are bearing the brunt of the new tariffs. 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: Cambodia is now under a forty nine percent tariff rate, 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: Vietnams is forty six percent, but China is taking the 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: hardest hit with duties on top of existing tariffs running 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: as high as one hundred four percent. President Trump says 23 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: that'll force Beijing to the table. 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 7: They don't want tariffs on themselves. 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 6: And it's very simple. 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 8: We're making deals and people are paying tariffs. 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 6: Countries are paying tariffs right now. 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 9: China's paying a one hundred and four percent tariff. 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 7: Think of it, one hundred and four percent. 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: And President Trump said he won't stop there. He says 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: he'll announced tariffs on pharmaceuticals very soon. He's also threatened 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: other sectorial tariffs on lumber and semiconductors. 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 6: Well. 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: So far, Karen, China has not immediately responded to the 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: new tariffs. That's a departure from the last two episodes 36 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: when Beijing hit back within minutes. For more, Let's go 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: to Hong Kong check in with Bloomberg's Joe Lisis So, Jill, 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: what is the latest. 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 10: Morning, Nathan and Karen. Yes, so far, we have not 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 10: really seen any kind of drastic measures out of China. 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 10: It's really been radio silence. All we've really seen from 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 10: Beijing is they've released a short white paper on trade 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 10: with the United States. But this does stand in pretty 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 10: start contrast to just earlier this year when there were 45 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 10: earlier levies that Donald Trump implemented on China, we saw 46 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 10: immediate responses in the form of additional retaliations that came 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 10: with some tariffs on American goods that were sent to China. 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 10: That also came with some other punitive measures, such as 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 10: investigations into various American companies that do some operations in China. 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 10: That doesn't mean, though, that China isn't going to respond. Remember, 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 10: we did see over the weekend when that initial ten 52 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 10: percent tariff went into effect that China came out with 53 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 10: its own duties on the United States. That's, of course 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 10: what led to this massive escalation leading to that total 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 10: number of one hundred and four percent that Trump is 56 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 10: implemented in tariffs on China. So it could be that 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 10: China is kind of biting its time. Maybe it'll come 58 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 10: back with something else. We've also heard there's been some 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 10: reporting that some within Chinese officials are meeting to talk 60 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 10: about some economic measures that they could take to sort 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 10: of bolster the economy. Right now, obviously, all of that 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 10: coming against the backdrop of tariffs. We'll have to see 63 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 10: what continues to come just over the coming hours. If 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 10: not days and weeks in Hong Kong, Jilldy says Bloomberg Radio. 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: All right, Jill, thank you. Now it's head to Europe 66 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: where stocks are selling off on the Trump tariffs, and 67 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: bloombergs U and Pots joins us in London with the 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: latest Good morning you. 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 11: In Karen Nathan. After yesterday's bumpy session in Europe, which 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 11: saw stocks gain before a late selloff, the direction of 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 11: travel so far this morning is very clear and it 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 11: is down only sixteen of six hundred shares on the 73 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 11: benchmark stocks ex hundred in the green today within next 74 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 11: currently down two point seven percent. All twenty industry groups low, 75 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 11: with healthcare stocks the worst performers, off more than four 76 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 11: and a half percent. Energy and real estate also under 77 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 11: performing this morning. Looking across the region, the Swiss market 78 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 11: at the bottom of the table, it's going down more 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 11: than four percent. Live in London, I'm um Pots, Bloomberg 80 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 11: radea you. 81 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: And thank you hearing the US futures are mixed down, 82 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: futures lower, Nasdaq futures higher. That puts SMP futures right 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: in the middle. That that follows yet another turbulent session 84 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 3: on Wall Street for four straight sessions we've seen moves 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: at least four percent from peak to trough. The S 86 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: and P five hundred is down almost nineteen percent from 87 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: its February record, posting the worst four day run since 88 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: March twenty twenty. 89 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we are seeing major movements in the bond 90 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: market once again this morning, and we bring in Bloomberg 91 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: John Tucker for the very latest, John and Karen. 92 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 7: Treasuries, which are supposed to be the safest and most 93 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 7: liquid assets, they're selling off and when the prices go down, 94 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 7: the yields go up. A Calvin yo Muddy, manager at 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 7: hedge fund blue Edge at Binzer, says this is a 96 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 7: fire sale of treasuries. He adds, it's like ice sculpting 97 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 7: in a forest. 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 8: Fire. 99 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 7: Grace Peters a JP Morgan Chase sees it this way. 100 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: You know what the market is digesting this week is 101 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 4: that tariffs are not going away. In Volatility is likely 102 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: here to stay. 103 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 7: US government bonds may be losing their safe haven status 104 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 7: if it concerns the trade war will trigger stagflation. Hedge 105 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 7: funds may be unwinding a popular leverage trade, and investors 106 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 7: maybe just be dumping whatever they can to get cash 107 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 7: That could signal liquidity concerns, and that's never a good 108 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 7: sign for markets. Some investors also speculate that global reserve 109 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 7: managers like China could be re evaluating their positions in 110 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 7: US government debt. In the US right now, the ten 111 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 7: year is now ten thirty seconds in price. That is 112 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 7: pushing the yield up four basis points the four thirty 113 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 7: three you know, New yorkom John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. 114 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: All right, John, thank you for hearing a warning this 115 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 3: morning from former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. He says the 116 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: US is now likely headed toward a recession thanks to 117 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: the tariff increases. 118 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 6: We'll see an extra two million people be unemployed. We'll 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 6: see losses in household income that are five thousand dollars 120 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 6: of family or more. We're very likely, in the context 121 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 6: of a recession, to see markets reach levels significantly below 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 6: their current levels. 123 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers also tells Bloomberg's Wall Street 124 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 3: Week and economic downturn would have various other negative effects, 125 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: including a wider budget deficit. You can get the full 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: conversation with Bloomberg's David Weston on the Bloomberg Talks podcast, 127 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: or watch it on the Bloomberg Podcasts page on YouTube. 128 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: Meywell Nathan. Many strategists say Trump's tariff policy should not 129 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: come as a surprise. Limy Countrilla, as Managing director for 130 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: Public Policy at PIMCO, this. 131 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 12: Is a worldview that President Trump has had for forty years. 132 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 12: This is what we keep telling our clients, and he 133 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 12: ran on this. He believes he has a mandate to 134 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 12: fulfill this. He believes that there's a lot of unfinished 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 12: business from the first administration. And I think that the 136 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 12: market obviously wants to maybe see through this or hope 137 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 12: that there is some this will result in a different outcome. 138 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 12: But our view is tariff rates are going to be 139 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 12: going up and that will have a headwind on growth 140 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 12: and likely have implications for inflation. 141 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: Jim Coos Lebby Cantrell says one of the president's primary 142 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: goals is balancing the goods trade deficit, and that he 143 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: plans to use tariffs until that metric is better balanced. 144 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: Karen, this morning, we have a warning as well from 145 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: Ray daly O for investors who may be too fixated 146 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: on tariffs. Let's get the details on that. From Bloomberg's 147 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: li So Mateo. 148 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 9: In a post on X. The billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 9: said investors are not paying attention to underlying conditions the 150 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 9: breakdown in major monetary, political, and geopolitical orders, and that 151 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 9: failing to do so may blindside them to the biggest 152 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 9: disruptions that are still to come. Dalli explained how Trump's 153 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 9: tariff policies are driven by too much existing debt and 154 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 9: the rate at which new borrowing is added. He said 155 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 9: the US is hooked on using debt to finance successive spending, 156 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 9: while creditor countries like China sell goods to detornations like 157 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 9: the US, and that will lead to a correction of 158 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 9: these imbalances and a change in the monetary order. Balio 159 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 9: also notes that gaps and education, opportunity and values are 160 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 9: contributing to a breakdown of the democratic system and the 161 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 9: rise of autocratic leaders, while the US is shifting from 162 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 9: a multilateral to a unilateral approach in the geopolitical arena. 163 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 9: Lisa Matteo, Bloomberg Radio, all. 164 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: Right, Lisa, thank you about Bloomberg News has learned the 165 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: White House's top economic team argued over plans to impose 166 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: even bigger tariffs. Trade advisor Peter Navarro was among the 167 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: more hawkish officials who pushed for a flat twenty five 168 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: percent levy on all countries. The revelation comes as Elon 169 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: Musk called Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks. That's 170 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: a quote and truly a moron. On social media, Navarro 171 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: said the Tesla CEO was a quote car assembler who 172 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: used parts from other countries.

Brendan, can we start there? Where did 279 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: two billion dollars a day number come from? How much money? 280 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: If ed, he is the US taking in from the 281 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: duties that have already been in effect. 282 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 7: Good morning. 283 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 16: Well, that's the number he's saying is coming into the 284 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 16: US treasury, collected by the Customs Agency. For He started 285 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 16: with ten percent on China, then he went to twenty percent, 286 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 16: and now we're looking at one hundred and four percent 287 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 16: it is starting today, So that's the amount of money 288 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 16: he thinks it's generating. He's going to need a lot 289 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 16: of money to pay for the tax cuts that he 290 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 16: trying to push through Congress to extend as well. So 291 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 16: there's both the effort to rewrite US trading relationships, trade 292 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 16: deals with countries like China, economies like the European Union, 293 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 16: and as well as to generary revenue for the Treasury 294 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 16: to help reduce the national debt. 295 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: Closing sympathis we should talk, Brennan about the scope of 296 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: these tariffs. You mentioned the one hundred and four percent 297 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: duty on China. That alone is eyebrow raising. But we're 298 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: at levels that literally haven't been seen since even before 299 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: the Smooth Holly tariffs in the nineteen thirties. 300 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly. So the average US tariff rate has gone 301 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 16: from something in the mid single digits five seven percent 302 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 16: to over twenty percent now with the tariffs that were 303 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 16: enacted today. The European Union was hit with twenty percent, 304 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 16: the UK ten percent. Countries like in Southeast Asia, like 305 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 16: Cambodia and Vietnam are looking at rates in the mid 306 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 16: forty percent too, So those were countries that companies had 307 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 16: shifted to to get outside of their move their supply 308 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 16: chains outside of China. So pretty much there's no place 309 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 16: to hide from these enormous tariff rates that the President 310 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 16: imposed today. 311 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: And as the President mentioned last night, he's already been 312 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: having discussions with the leaders of South Korea, Japan. We 313 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: saw Israeli Prime Minister natanyahuo in Washington this week. So far, 314 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: though China hasn't immediately retaliated, does that come as a surprise. 315 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 16: It's a little bit of a surprise. Though China likes 316 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 16: to wait until rate before the US stock market opens. 317 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 16: It has done that in the past to maximize the impact, 318 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 16: the economic impact, the financial impact on the US. So 319 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 16: China has been quiet for the past several hours. The 320 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 16: government hasn't said anything publicly, but that can't last, and 321 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 16: they have said that they will they will fight to 322 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 16: the end on this in this trade war and not 323 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 16: cave to pressures. So it's only a matter of time. 324 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 16: There's only so much imports that China can hit imports 325 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 16: of American products, so they're going to be looking at 326 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 16: other other things like export controls, cutting off American access 327 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 16: to raw materials, things needed to make high tech gear. 328 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 16: And they've also got big, big US tech companies there 329 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 16: a big US automakers including Elon, Musk Tesla. So if 330 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 16: you're an American company in China right now, you know 331 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 16: you're potentially a target for the government's retaliation. 332 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: Really appreciate this.

Seema, it's great to have you 359 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: with us this morning. Where do you see risk assets 360 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: in particular going now that these new tariffs are in 361 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: effect around the world. 362 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 4: Good morning. Well, look, with the new tariffs, particularly the 363 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 4: escalation of China's tariffs, we are looking in a slightly 364 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I think, a very concerning global economic picture 365 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 4: and also for the US from our perspective, unless there 366 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 4: is I guess a release of those tariffs, or you 367 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 4: have some kind of positive news with regards to tax 368 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 4: cuts or deregulation, it is quite likely that the US 369 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: would slide into recession. There is still I think a 370 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: lot to be seen over the last next couple of 371 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 4: months from the administration per Certainly that is the direction 372 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: that things would move without any kind of action to 373 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 4: reverse some of the things have been playing out over 374 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks. So from that perspective, I 375 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 4: think it seems likely that you're going to have risk 376 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 4: of sentiment lingering for a little while longer. At least, 377 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 4: we need to see a rerating of valuations to a 378 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: point where investors are want to get interested, and to 379 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 4: have that, you're need to see another downward revision of 380 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: the earnings forecasts to slightly more realistic level, one which 381 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 4: is more reflective of a weaken economic picture. 382 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: Is that what we're seeing in the treasury market right now, 383 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: with the sell off across the curve this morning, a 384 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: repricing four recession. 385 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 4: I think the seller for in the treasure curve is 386 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 4: actually quite confusing. It's quite opaque. There's a number of 387 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 4: different possibilities that could be playing out over here. It 388 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 4: could be down to inflation concerns, it could be concerns 389 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 4: around tax revenue, with a weaker economic outlook then starting 390 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 4: to create additional fears around the budget deficit. And of 391 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 4: course there's the key risk out there which investors are 392 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 4: increasingly talking about, which is a loss and interest of 393 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 4: the US as a safe haven. As I said, it's 394 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 4: very unclear exactly which one of those is really the 395 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 4: key driver. Per certainly it does make the economic outlook 396 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 4: that much more concerning if you have interest rates which 397 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 4: are spiking at a time when they should ideal be falling. 398 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: If the US is losing its status as a safe haven, 399 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 3: where is a safe haven at this point? 400 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 4: Well, it's been interesting today when you look across across 401 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 4: the global market, then you can see that there are 402 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: some traditional safe havens still playing out to the Japanese yen, 403 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 4: German burns, So there are still places in the world, 404 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: and that gives us an indication where if investors were 405 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: really to start losing interests, and I have to I 406 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 4: think it is still quite premature and there's a lot 407 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 4: to be discussed and read into to understand exactly what 408 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 4: is going on. But the alternative to a US dollar 409 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 4: it's not entirely obvious at the moment. There is potential 410 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 4: maybe over the next couple of years for the euro 411 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 4: to show growing prominence. If Europe can show closer integration, 412 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: you see additional fiscal spending for shure to spend, but 413 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 4: that is still a big question mark, so I think 414 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 4: the jury is still out. But of course the developments 415 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 4: in the last I think twenty four hours are an 416 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: additional concerent on top of what was already worrying markets 417 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 4: point and I want. 418 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 3: To imagine there are some questions as well as what 419 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: as to what could tariffs could mean for the European 420 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 3: economy at a time when they've been looking to increase 421 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: defense spending. What's the outlook for Europe now? 422 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think after the Wednesday announcement Liberation Day announcement, 423 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 4: we did lower our forecast for Europe even further. For 424 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: Germany we now see recession as quite likely, so that 425 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: was a shift down from point three percent growth in 426 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. And for Europe we've lowered our forecast 427 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 4: from er point eight percent this year down to point 428 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 4: three percent, so they're still skirting recession. But of course 429 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 4: these are really based on what are the sensitivities to 430 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: terrass So there's going to be any substitution, and of 431 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 4: course a question around retaliation still there, so there is 432 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: a risk that this is even deeper concern than we're 433 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 4: already seeing. 434 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: Now. 435 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 4: The good news is is that the fifth or stimulus 436 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: from Germany, it will start to positively impact the economy, 437 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: but not until twenty twenty six, and at that point 438 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 4: we would start to see a stronger picture. So right 439 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: now now twenty twenty five is looking particularly tough, but 440 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 4: brighter times ahead from twenty six when the fiscal stem 441 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 4: starts to bleed through to the real economy. 442 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 3: To bring things back to the US, there had been 443 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 3: a question before these new tariffs kicked in about whether 444 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 3: the Fed could step in at some point if we're 445 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 3: heading into a stagflationary environment, where is the Fed? 446 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 2: Now? 447 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 3: What kind of response could they pose here with these 448 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: new tariffs? 449 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: Right well, so from a traditional standpoint, when you're just 450 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: thinking about interest rate cuts, we are expecting the Federal 451 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 4: Reserve to be able to put more emphasis on the 452 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 4: employment side of their mandate. So even if you were 453 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: and we are expecting inflation to increase, our forecast is 454 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 4: for core PCE to hit around four percent by year end. 455 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 4: But even with that and assuming that inflation and expectations 456 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 4: remain fairly and could. We do think the Federal Reserve 457 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 4: will start to cut rates within the next meeting of 458 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: the second in June, and cut maybe by three to 459 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: four times. The only scenario that we see hikes at 460 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 4: this point is if actually the economy were to return 461 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 4: to significant strength. So we do think even in stagflation, 462 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 4: the Fed emphasizes the employment side of their mandate. The 463 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: bigger question I think at the moment, which is really 464 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 4: being discussed in circles, is if you were to see 465 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 4: a continued sell off of US treasuries, is there a 466 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 4: role for the Federal Reserve to come in with some 467 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 4: kind of emergency action. We're still far from that, but 468 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 4: I think it is something that we need to keep 469 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: watching that. If there is a concern around the financial 470 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 4: plumbing of the system, is there something that we can 471 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 4: expect from the Fed? 472 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 6: On that count? 473 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: Got about thirty seconds left, Seima. Are we in a 474 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: game of chicken between the market and the president? If so, 475 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: who blinks first? 476 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 4: I think that's exactly what we're in. Trump has focused 477 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 4: a lot of bond deals, That's what he's been saying. 478 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 4: So if he's watching this picture, He will be likely 479 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 4: quite concerned about what is folding in front of him, 480 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 4: and if this continues, then potentially we could see a 481 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 4: step back from the administration with regards to the policy 482 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: that they've already introduced. 483 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: This is Bloombergy Daybrea, your morning podcast on the stories 484 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 485 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 486 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 487 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 488 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 2: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 489 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 490 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 491 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 492 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 493 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 3: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 494 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
