China is raising tariffs on all US goods from 84% to 125% starting April 12, in response to the US's latest tariffs.

The inflation slowdown reflected is yesterday's CPI showed a decline in energy costs, used vehicles, hotel stays, and airfares, with the cost of motor vehicle insurance also retreating. Some experts still warn that higher inflation may be coming due to tariffs, with the impact expected to be felt in the May CPI report. 4) Jennifer Lee, Senior Economist at BMO Capital Markets, joins to discuss why the Fed's breathing easier today, but why the market volatility isn't over yet. US-China trade tensions escalated, causing a slide in futures, the dollar, and oil, with investors rushing to assess the impact on companies and growth. 5) Erica Groshen, former Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, on disruption in federal statistics, modernizing federal statistics, and preserving data integrity.

Theories abound about the cause of the bond selloff, including foreign selling of US debt, hedge funds unwinding positions, and a re-evaluation of US government debt by global reserve managers, with some predicting the Federal Reserve may need to step in to stabilize the bond market. 3) Greg Peters, Co-CIO at PGIM Fixed Income, discusses the bond market rout this morning. China retaliated to US tariffs with new levies of its own, causing a global market selloff, with US equity futures falling over 2% and European stocks plunging 4%.

Trump's reciprocal tariffs are now in place, imposing levies on China and 60 other trading partners with trade surpluses with the US. The tariffs have raised concerns about a full-blown trade war, with Asian countries bearing the brunt, and have led to a selloff in Treasuries and a decline in Asian and European shares. 5) Amanda Agati, CIO: Asset Allocation at PNC, on her equity outlook given tariffs and cracks emerging in the credit market. The US stock index has plunged nearly 19% since its February peak and is flirting with bear market levels, with the benchmark closing below the 5,000 level for the first time in nearly a year.

Investors remain flummoxed after President Trump's recent remarks and those of his advisers have created confusion and volatility in markets, with investors struggling to understand his negotiating criteria and the lack of a streamlined process for considering exceptions to the tariffs. 3) Ellen Wald, Senior Fellow - Atlantic Council, discusses oil dropping below $60 a barrel, hitting a four-year-low, and outlook for global energy.

Watch Tom and Paul LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyApril 7th, 2025 Featuring: 1) Lori Calvasina, Chief US Equity Strategist at RBC Capital Markets, discusses her note this morning on why full recession pricing could send the S&P to 4,200. The RBC team led by Calvasina writes in note that the concern of many financial market participants seemed to rapidly swing from stagflation to recession on Thursday and Friday. They add that the value/growth ratio within the Russell 1000 has gotten close to the 2024 lows, “making us wonder whether that trade may soon get to a potential inflection point.” 2) Michael Purves, CEO at Tallbacken Capital Advisors, discusses his recent note "The Express Train to 4,800" and why he believes the S&P could fall as low as 4,000. Traders have increased expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year, with markets pricing 125 basis points of easing by year end. Economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. expect the US economy to fall into a recession this year, with the Fed cutting interest rates in response. 3) Henrietta Treyz, co-founder at Veda Partners, talks about tariff policy, where the GOP stands on tax cuts, and how policy could change in the coming days and months. President Trump's tariff hikes increase the urgency of the Republican tax-cut package, but threaten to undermine its boost to business and consumer confidence. The tariffs could tip the economy into a downward spiral, making it tough for tax cuts and deregulation to reverse, and may lead to a recession this year. 4) Keith Lerner, Co-CIO at Truist, talks about investors being on the defensive as stocks have more room to decline. As President Trump remains defiant on tariffs, markets were set for another tough week, with US equity futures plunging Sunday, following a 10% drop in the underlying index in two days, and economists predicting a recession this year. 5) Sonali Basak, Wall Street reporter with Bloomberg News, on JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and the JPMorgan annual shareholder letter. Dimon urged a quick resolution to the uncertainties sparked by President Donald Trump's tariffs, warning against a potentially "disastrous" fragmentation of America's long-term economic alliances.

President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from virtually every US trading partner, affecting tech companies like Dell, Apple, Sonos, and HP.

As tariffs set into the American economy, it's unclear how they will affect wages and the labor market.
