Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Alix Steel

Today’s Podcast Features are:    

Tom Gimbel, Vice Chairman, American Staffing Association and Founder of LaSalle Network, discusses the April jobs report.  US job growth was robust in April and the unemployment rate held steady despite deep uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s trade policies, which economists expect will dent hiring plans over the coming months.

Brooke Sutherland, Bloomberg Boston Bureau Chief, discusses President Donald Trump declaring that Harvard University would lose its tax-exempt status, stepping up his attack on the Ivy League school by threatening to choke off an array of financial benefits.

Vincent Piazza, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Equity Research Analyst, Oil & Gas, discusses Chevron and Exxon earnings. Chevron Corp. will reduce share buybacks this quarter after oil prices tumbled, indicating that President Donald Trump’s trade war is hurting a key US industry he pledged to help. Exxon Mobil Corp., which also reported earnings Friday, is sticking to its plan to buy back about $5 billion in shares per quarter.
