Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyApril 3rd, 2025 Featuring: 1) Doug Irwin, professor at Dartmouth University, on the reset of the global trade order and whether countries will just move on without the US. The tariffs are expected to have significant economic implications, including higher US prices, slower growth, and possibly even a recession, with many countries likely to end up in a recession if the tariff rate stays on for an extended period of time. Ed Yardeni, president at Yardeni Research, talks about lowering his S&P target yet again and whether there's more even more market risks now that tariffs have been announced. Global financial markets experienced a sweeping selloff after President Trump's bid to remake the world trading order proved more aggressive than expected. The tariff announcements threaten to extend the S&P 500's recent weakness. 2) Bob Michele, CIO: Fixed Income at JPMorgan Asset Management, on signals from the bond market in the US and whether a recession is now likely. Gold hit new highs amid investors’ flight to haven assets on the tariff announcement, while 10-year Treasury yields dropped to the lowest level in more than five months and the yen strengthened. 3) Tina Fordham, founder at Fordham Global Foresight, discusses President's Trump's geopolitical reset and America "going it alone." President Trump's move marks a dramatic escalation in Trump's trade war, sparking threats of retaliation from other countries and causing a selloff in global financial markets. 4) Elizabeth Economy, professor at Stanford University, talks about China getting hit hard by Trump's tariffs and whether they affect China's geopolitical strategy is being reshaped by Trump's approach. China has vowed to retaliate against Donald Trump's tariffs, which have increased by 34%, putting the world's largest economies on a collision course that risks decimating bilateral trade and upending supply chains.

That includes some of the country’s biggest trading partners, such as China — which now faces a tariff of well above 50% on many goods — as well as the European Union, Japan and Vietnam.“For years, hard-working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense,” Trump said during an event in the White House Rose Garden to unveil the so-called reciprocal tariffs. “Now it’s our turn to prosper.”The move marks a dramatic escalation in Trump’s trade war, one that risks triggering retaliation from other countries and upends calculations for businesses and consumers at home. China and the EU, America’s largest trading partner, both said they were preparing to take countermeasures in response.The US president has embraced tariffs as a tool to assert US power, revive manufacturing at home and exact geopolitical concessions — counter to the decades-old consensus that lower trade barriers help to foster ties among nations and prevent conflicts. Economists say the near-term result of his measures will likely be higher US prices and slower growth — or perhaps even a recession.Global financial markets were hit by a sweeping selloff after Trump’s announcement, with US equity futures slumping as much as 4%.Gold hit an all-time high and the traditional haven Japanese yen soared, while China maintained its daily support of the yuan. Ten-year Treasury yields fell toward the closely-watched 4% level, their lowest since October.Read More: Fear Grips Markets as Trump Tariffs Raise Risks to Global GrowthLess than three months after returning to the White House, Trump has already erected trade barriers that are bigger by some measures than those imposed in the notoriously protectionist 1930s. Bloomberg Economics calculates that the effective tax rate the US now charges on more than $3 trillion of imported goods may climb to around 23% — higher than any point in more than a century.A statement published Wednesday by the United States Trade Representative explained the Trump administration calculated its raft of new tariffs primarily based on existing trade balances. Countries running a trade surplus with the US faced a flat 10% rate regardless, as did nations where trade was roughly even.There’s a small difference in the tariff rates first announced by Trump and more than a dozen of those listed in the annex that accompanied the White House executive order. For countries like South Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan and India, the rates in the annex are about 1 percentage point higher than the initial announcement.The 10% baseline charge on everyone takes effect after midnight Saturday. The higher duties on targeted countries — which replace, rather than add on top of the 10% rate — are due to kick in on April 9, the White House said.Read More: List of Reciprocal Tariffs by CountryFor now, the new measures don’t include Canada and Mexico, which are embroiled in a separate on-and-off tariff dispute with the US. They also won’t apply to some products that are subject to separate duties tied to so-called Sec. 232 investigations such as autos, semiconductors and lumber.The reciprocal tariffs were “much worse than we feared,” said Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. There’ll be “huge implications for rerouting of trade,” she said.The president, who’s...

Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyApril 2nd, 2025 Featuring: 1) Jason Furman, Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard University, discusses his recent NYT opinion piece on why he believes tariffs are such a terrible idea. The tariffs, which will be announced today, are expected to take immediate effect, with countries able to negotiate to bring rates down. 2) Henrietta Treyz, co-founder at Veda Partners, discusses the Wisconsin Senate race, Republicans holding seats in Florida, and how a potential GOP tax hike could reshape the entire tariff and economic discussion. President Trump's team is finalizing plans for reciprocal tariffs to be unveiled on Wednesday. It comes as Republicans are drafting a tax bill that includes increasing the state and local tax deduction to up to $25,000 for an individual. 3) Nisha Patel, portfolio manager at Parametric, talks about opportunities in munis, tax loss harvesting, and great opportunities in long end yields. Municipal bonds underperformed the U.S. taxable bond market last month. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index lost 1.69%, compared with a return of 0.04% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index. 4) Peter Tchir, Head: Macro Strategy at Academy Securities, on the problem of "An Eye for an Eye" when it comes to global trade on Liberation Day. The tariff announcement has caused uncertainty, shaking markets and prompting economists to cut growth forecasts, with Trump aiming to raise $700 billion annually in tariff revenue. The tariffs could apply widely, even to countries with which the US doesn't have a trade imbalance. 5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including a New York Times survey on a new survey finds that more Americans can't afford medical care, and the Wall Street Journal's story on the workplace battle over who should pay for Ozempic.

Watch Tom and Paul LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyApril 1st, 2025 Featuring: 1) Rich Clarida, Global Economic Advisor at PIMCO and former Fed Vice Chair, joins for an extended discussion on how the Fed will digest this week's tariff announcement and the March payrolls data. President Trump's upcoming announcement on tariffs has created uncertainty, leading investors to be cautious and strategists to lower their estimates. 2) Michael Nathanson, partner at MoffettNathanson, joins to discuss his note on YouTube dominance. Measured by revenue, YouTube was the second-biggest media company in the world last year. It brought in $54.2 billion in 2024 — just $5.5 billion behind Disney. And in 2025, Nathanson predicts, YouTube should eclipse Disney, and become the biggest media company in the world. 3) Nancy Lazar, Chief Global Economist at Piper Sandler & Co, joins for an extended discussion on the outlook for the US economy and inflation. President Trump will announce a reciprocal tariff plan on April 2 in the White House Rose Garden, featuring "country-based" tariffs. Uncertainty surrounding his plans, which have often changed and been subject to last-minute carveouts, have triggered fears they could blow up supply chains and raise prices for US consumers. That angst has fueled a weeks-long sell off on Wall Street that extended into Monday. 4) Chris Ailman, former CIO at CalSTRS and founder of Ailman Advisers, discusses his role as the Chair of the 300 Club and what he's hearing is front of mind for global CIOs. One consideration for businesses and investors: the stream of executive orders and reversals coming from the White House — Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods last month, then exempted those covered by USMCA — have required customs experts and trade lawyers. While some companies have their own in-house teams, others have sought outside help in reviewing their products to ensure that enough of them are made in North America. 5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including YouTube about to become the world's biggest media company and Disney getting the last laugh on Snow White.

Wall Street forecasters, including Goldman Sachs' David Kostin, are lowering their S&P 500 targets due to increased recession risk and tariff-related uncertainty. Other strategists, including Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson and JPMorgan Chase's Mislav Matejka, are also taking a more cautious tone on the S&P 500. 3) Henrietta Treyz, co-founder at Veda Partners, discusses DC headlines, tariffs, and taxes. President Donald Trump plans to start his reciprocal tariff push with "all countries". The Trump administration has not yet outlined what tariffs are coming, how they'll be calculated, or what countries will need to do to secure exemptions. 4) Kriti Gupta, host on Bloomberg TV and Radio from London, joins for a discussion on the global selloff in markets and Marine Le Pen's possible presidential bid. The far-right leader Le Pen was convicted of embezzlement by a Paris court. Prosecutors previously asked for Le Pen to get an immediate 5-year ban on running for office. Le Pen had denied any wrongdoing and said the prosecution is seeking her “political death.” 5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including a Wall Street Journal article about Costco's Kirkland brand and the Yankees' torpedo-shaped bats.

The 25% auto tariffs will come into effect on April 3, initially targeting fully assembled vehicles, and will expand to include major automobile parts by May 3. Meanwhile, traders await February PCE data, with Bloomberg Economics writing that Core PCE is expected to show accelerated inflation. 2) Wendy Schiller, professor at Brown University, reacts to President Trump's auto tariffs announcement and how Washington will or will not push back, as well as the Signal text controversy. The EU, Canada, and other countries have criticized the 25% auto tariff implementation, coming April 3.

US consumer confidence fell in March to the lowest level in four years due to concerns about higher prices and the economic outlook amid the Trump administration's escalating tariffs. 2) Skyler Weinand, CIO at Regan Capital, brings us into the market open and talks about why the Fed's next move might be a hike. It comes as Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler supports holding interest rates steady for "some time" amid rising inflation expectations and recent uptick in goods inflation. Kugler notes that University of Michigan survey data shows consumers expect prices to increase at an annual rate of 3.9% over the next five to 10 years, the highest in more than three decades. 3) Joy Yang, Head of Index Product Management at MarketVector Indexes, talks about market trends amid rising uncertainty and a declining VIX. Worries over the economic effects of the global trade war are further reducing liquidity in US stocks, creating a headache for institutional investors. Current conditions could ease if tariffs prove less severe than feared or economic worries dissipate, but until then, it's going to be challenging for traders. 4) Ayesha Kiani, professor at NYU and COO at MNNC Group, talks about the major asset managers intensifying their crypto offerings, tokenization projects, and the outlook for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's recent rally is at risk of being short-lived due to broader market uncertainty, lack of bullish momentum, and low volumes. The market remains fragile, with low retail activity, thin volume, and cautious sentiment, making it susceptible to volatility and potential "bull traps". 5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including Federal workers responding to Elon Musk's latest request and new alternatives to building homes.
