Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyApril 4th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Claudia Sahm, Chief Economist at New Century Advisors, Neil Dutta, Head: US Research at Renaissance Macro Research, and Jamie Patton, Co-Head of Global Rates at TCW, react to today's jobs figures and discuss the outlook for the Fed and Jay Powell. Traders have increased their expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year, with money markets now showing 100 basis points of reductions by year-end.
2) Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology at Wedbush Securities, discusses the "worse than worse case scenario" tariff announcement as it relates to tech. President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from virtually every US trading partner, affecting tech companies like Dell, Apple, Sonos, and HP. The tariffs will increase costs, slow demand, and strain global supply chains, with levies ranging from 10% to 46% on imports from countries like China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
3) David Blanchflower, economics professor and labor economist at Dartmouth University, on labor and wages in a high tariff America. As tariffs set into the American economy, it's unclear how they will affect wages and the labor market. It comes as Republicans are considering creating a new tax bracket for those earning $1 million or more, with a top rate of around 39% to 40%, to offset the costs of their tax bill.
4) Gautam Mukunda, professor at Yale University School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion columnist, on the short and long-term political impact of tariffs. It comes as a new poll shows President Trump's approval rating slipping ahead of his tariff announcement.
5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including the Wall Street Journal story on the domino affect from the trade war and the New York Times' look at the grocery aisle and the impact of tariffs
