Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyAugust 8th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Ian Lyngen, Head of US Rates at BMO Capital Markets, talks about the 2-year and 10-year yield paths amid economic weakening and the outlook for rate cuts. A gauge of the dollar was was flat and Treasury yields were little changed after Thursday’s a weak sale of 30-year debt signaled waning appetite for US debt.
2) Larry McDonald, founder at the Bear Traps Report, joins to talk about how the bond market is pricing in recent tariff and economic policies out of the Trump admin and speculates how President Trump could reshape the Fed and its impact on markets. The S&P 500 is near a record high following a 30% surge from its April lows, supported by robust corporate earnings and hopes the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates to support the economy.
3) Dan Tannebaum, Partner and Global Anti-Financial Crime Practice Leader at Oliver Wyman, talks about the Trump admin's approach to the war in Ukraine and how global economies are managing US tariffs. President Trump said he’d be willing to meet with Vladimir Putin, even if Putin hadn’t yet agreed to also sit down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump told reporters he was “very disappointed” with Putin’s behavior and left open the possibility of additional penalties over the war in Ukraine as soon as Friday.
4) Stefanie Stantcheva, Economist at Harvard University, talks about how "zero-sum thinking" is reshaping economics and how a rearing back of inflation could further weigh on American consumers.
5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including a WSJ story on doctors warning about "AI psychosis" and a Business Insider story on how TikTok users are booking hotels.
