Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyMarch 26th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO & Chief Strategist at QI Research, on the Fed, outlook for rates, and a struggling US consumer. 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.

March 25th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Sophia Drossos, Economist at Point72 Asset Management, discusses a cloudy market and compounding uncertainty and where the Fed goes from here. It comes as tariffs have been dominating the news flow this week, with US stocks soaring on Monday on signs that trade sanctions will be narrower than feared. However, signs of "secondary tariffs" could add another layer of uncertainty in markets.

2) Cam Dawson, CIO at NewEdge Wealth, on US equities and whether US exceptionalism is alive and well. It follows stocks having a strong session, with the Nasdaq 100 adding 2.2%, amid signs US trade sanctions will be narrower than feared.

3) Michael Darda, Chief Economist at Roth Capital Partners, joins for an extended discussion on US stagflation, productivity growth, and whether the Fed will have no choice but to cut rates. In a Bloomberg exclusive yesterday, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said he now sees just one interest-rate cut as likely this year, rather than two, with tariff hikes impeding progress on disinflation.

4) Phil Toews, CEO at Toews Asset Management, on his new book "The Behavioral Portfolio" and how portfolios have shifted as the US economy changes. Rising uncertainty on policy and geopolitics could lead traders to look for cheap assets and avoid expensive ones. It makes the future profits that contributed to the expensive stocks being expensive in the first place, look less certain.

5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including US retailers bulking up their inventories to get ahead of President Trump's new tariffs and British Airways launching a new first-class seat.

Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyMarch 24th, 2025
Featuring:

1) Joe Lavorgna, Chief Economist at SMBC Nikko Securities and former Trump economic advisor, on why he believes Trump's tariff initiatives will ultimately prove bullish for the US economy, won't be inflationary, and could usher in a new economic "Golden Age" in the US. President Trump is preparing to announce "reciprocal tariffs" on April 2, targeting countries that have tariffs or barriers on US goods, but excluding some nations and blocs. The tariffs are expected to take effect immediately and may strain ties with allied nations, but the administration is not planning separate sectoral-specific tariffs at the same event.

2) Liz Ann Sonders, Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, joins for an extended discussion on fears of a US recession and the outlook for equities. Markets are still on edge ahead of Trump’s April 2 deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs on a raft of other countries, but officials familiar with the matter said the announcement is shaping up to be more targeted than previously thought.

3) Henrietta Treyz, co-founder at Veda Partners, on the latest DC headlines and Congress' role in US trade policy amid looming tariffs and updates on negotiations over the war in Ukraine. US and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia for closed-door talks, following American and Ukrainian teams' discussions the previous day. The talks aim to achieve a ceasefire in the war

4) Stephen Trent, Analyst at Citi, discusses the outlook for individual US airlines in 2025 after recent poor guidance. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines have slashed their financial forecasts, citing a rapid reversal of demand trends and a broad weakness in consumer spending. Poor recent updates from airlines and retailers have added to market sentiment.

5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including young investors' favorite retirement vehicle and the advantage Duke has in the NCAA tournament.
