Google Not Required to Sell Chrome in Court Antitrust Ruling Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Alphabet Inc.’s Google doesn’t have to sell its popular Chrome web browser, a federal judge ruled Tuesday in the Justice Department’s landmark antitrust case against the search engine.
The ruling allows Google to avoid one of the most severe remedy requests from the US government after the court found the company found the company had an illegal monopoly in the search market. Judge Amit Mehta did bar Google from entering into exclusive contracts for internet search.
The finding follows Mehta’s ruling last year that Google illegally monopolized the markets for online search and search advertisements. Mehta held a three-week hearing in April to determine a fix.
The order is one of the most monumental court decisions affecting the tech sector in more than a quarter century, and could offer a blueprint for other judges who may end up weighing similar choices in cases against Meta Platforms Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc.
In another win for Google, the judge didn’t bar the company from making payments to third parties for default browser placement.

Cook Hearing Ends With No Judge Ruling; Live from US Open Day 2 Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

Watch Bloomberg Businessweek Daily LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Questions about whether President Donald Trump had cause to try to push out Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook dominated a court hearing Friday, as a judge weighs whether he had proper reasons to order her removal from the US central bank.
US District Judge Jia Cobb peppered lawyers for Cook and the administration for about two hours Friday, before ending the hearing without ruling on the Fed governor’s request for a temporary order blocking Trump’s effort to oust her. The judge, who isn’t expected to make a decision this week, didn’t indicate which way she is leaning in a landmark lawsuit that could determine the future of the Fed’s independence.
The hearing capped weeks of criticism of the Fed by the Trump administration and signaled the beginning of a pitched legal fight that is likely to land before the US Supreme Court. Cook sued after Trump moved to fire her for allegedly engaging in fraud by declaring two homes as her primary residence in separate mortgage applications. She hasn’t been charged with wrongdoing.
The judge focused in particular on Cook’s argument that being accused of wrongdoing and fired through a series of social media posts didn’t amount to proper due process under US law.

ICYMI: Why Leading Retailers' Valuations Look "Scarier" Than Nvidia's Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

The stocks of Walmart Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp. may represent a risk due to their high valuation, with forward price-earnings ratios of 34.3 times and 47 times, respectively. That's according to Bloomberg Opinion markets columnist Jonathan Levin, who writes that the "perception of safety has inflated the retailers' valuations, as investors believe they can't go down, which paradoxically puts them at a heightened risk of correction."

Jonathan discusses the implications of that trend as well as his thoughts on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's response to President Donald Trump's pressure on the central bank with Tim Stenovec and Isabelle Lee on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Nvidia Gives Lackluster Forecast, Stoking Fears of AI Slowdown Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

Watch Bloomberg Businessweek Daily LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

Nvidia Corp., the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, gave a tepid revenue forecast for the current period, fueling concerns that a massive run-up in artificial intelligence spending is slowing.

Sales will be roughly $54 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which runs through October, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Though that was in line with the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts had projected more than $60 billion. The forecast excluded data center revenue from China, a market where it has struggled with US export restrictions and opposing pressure from Beijing.

The company’s tepid outlook adds to concern that pace of investment in artificial intelligence systems is unsustainable. Difficulties in China also have clouded Nvidia’s business. Though the Trump administration recently eased restrictions on exports of some AI chips to that country, the reprieve hasn’t yet translated into a rebound in revenue.

Today's show features:
- Jay Goldberg, Senior Analyst, Semiconductors & Electronics with Seaport Research Partners, and Bloomberg Intelligence Global Head of Technology Research Mandeep Singh break down Nvidia’s latest earnings report
- Natasha Sarin, Professor of Law at Yale Law School, and Co-Founder and President of the Yale Budget Lab, on US monetary and trade policy issues
- Dana Telsey, Founder, CEO and Chief Research Officer of Telsey Advisory Group, on key trends within the latest wave of retail earnings and the outlook for the US consumer

ICYMI: The Risks to US Exceptionalism Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

The dollar fell and longer-dated Treasury yields rose as President Donald Trump’s push to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook fueled concern about central bank independence and inflation risks. Stocks eked out gains before Nvidia Corp.’s results.
While the moves were modest in listless summer trading, they underscored growing unease over political interference in monetary policy. That could give Trump another chance to name someone to the Fed board as he repeatedly pressures officials to cut rates.
Ben Inker, Co-Head of Asset Allocation and Portfolio Manager at GMO, breaks down the market risks facing US investors and White House's legal battle with the Fed escalates. Ben speaks with Tim Stenovec and Isabelle Lee on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
