Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyAugust 29th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Sarah Wolfe, Senior Economist with Morgan Stanley, Yelena Shulyateva, Senior Economist at The Conference Board, and Michael McKee, International Economics & Policy correspondent for Bloomberg News, react to PCE and discuss the outlook for inflation, labor, and rate cuts in the US. Stocks retreated as traders cut risk before the release of the US inflation data that is testing expectations on how quickly the Federal Reserve can reduce interest rates.
2) Meera Chandan, Co-Head: FX Strategy Team at JPMorgan, joins for an extended discussion on Fed independence, dollar weakness ahead of key economic data points this week and next, and turmoil in France this week.
3) Frances Donald, Chief Economist at RBC, brings us into the market open and talks about labor weakness and inflation and how the US labor market could rapidly deteriorate. It comes as Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller called for lower interest rates, saying he would support a reduction in September and anticipates additional cuts over the next three to six months, with the pace driven by incoming data.
4) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including a WSJ piece on higher prices coming to household staples and a Business Insider piece on Naomi Osaka's big Labubu bling.
