Trump’s Threat of ‘Secondary Tariffs’ Invents New Trade Tool Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

Bloomberg News US Treasury Reporter Daniel Flatley discusses President Donald Trump appearing to invent a new economic statecraft tactic on Monday by threatening what he dubbed “secondary tariffs” on countries that buy oil from Venezuela to choke off its oil trade with other nations.
The threat, delivered via Truth Social post then confirmed in an executive order, said countries could face 25% tariffs on trade with the US if they purchase oil and gas from Venezuela, which is already under heavy US sanctions. The move was meant to pressure Venezuela for the “tens of thousands of high level, and other, criminals” that Trump said Venezuela has sent to the US.
The novel approach adds to a growing list of tools that Trump has been eager to deploy as part of a push to use America’s economic clout as leverage in achieving its foreign and domestic policy goals. The idea seems certain to increase tensions with the Latin American nation over immigration and foreign policy.

Trump Plans His Tariff ‘Liberation Day’ With More Targeted Push Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg News Senior White House Correspondent Josh Wingrove discusses President Donald Trump poised to be more targeted than the barrage of tariffs he has occasionally threatened, aides and allies say, a potential relief for markets gripped by anxiety about an all-out tariff war.
Trump is preparing a “Liberation Day” tariff announcement on April 2, unveiling so-called reciprocal tariffs he sees as retribution for tariffs and other barriers from other countries, including longtime US allies. While the announcement would remain a very significant expansion of US tariffs, it’s shaping up as more focused than the sprawling, fully global effort Trump has otherwise mused about, officials familiar with the matter say.
Trump will announce widespread reciprocal tariffs on nations or blocs but is set to exclude some, and — as of now — the administration is not planning separate, sectoral-specific tariffs to be unveiled at the same event, as Trump had once teased, officials said.

FedEx Falls After Outlook Cut Again Amid Economic Worries Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Logistics Analyst Lee Klaskow breaks down FedEx shares falling on Friday after the parcel delivery company lowered its full-year guidance for a third consecutive quarter, citing inflation and uncertain demand for shipments.
Adjusted earnings are now expected to be in the range of $18 to $18.60 per share this fiscal year, below the $18.95 average analyst estimate. FedEx also cautioned that revenue may be slightly down versus the prior year, compared to its previous expectation that sales would be roughly flat.
FedEx is the latest US company to sound the alarm amid weakening consumer confidence and potential fallout from President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war. The parcel company, considered an economic bellwether because of its exposure to a broad swath of the global economy, said its latest outlook assumes the global economic, political and trade environment doesn’t worsen any further.

Federal Reserve Still on a Path Toward Lower Interest Rates Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg News Economics Editor Molly Smith and Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Conor Sen discuss how a surprisingly strong reading on the US housing market added fuel to stocks just a day after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell downplayed mounting economic concerns amid President Donald Trump’s trade war.
Equities rose as data showed US existing-home sales topped estimates and the jobs market remained fairly resilient. While the Federal Reserve kept its benchmark rate steady at its meeting this week, investors are betting that the central bank will still likely cut rates this year. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell Wednesday.

Fed Holds Rates Steady, Cuts 2025 Growth Projection Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist Ira Jersey and Veronica Willis, Global Investment Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, discuss Federal Reserve officials holding their benchmark interest rate steady for a second straight meeting, though they telegraphed expectations for slower economic growth and higher inflation.
The Federal Open Market Committee voted on Wednesday to keep the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 4.25%-4.5%, and said it would further slow the pace at which it is reducing its balance sheet. Governor Christopher Waller, who supported holding rates steady, dissented from the decision over the balance sheet move.
The decision to hold rates steady comes as President Donald Trump’s ambitious and frequently erratic policy agenda has placed the economy, and the Fed’s ability to keep it on track, under increasing pressure. Trump’s ever-changing plans to levy tariffs on US trading partners have stoked fears of an economic slowdown and raised fresh worries over inflation - a combination that could pull policymakers in opposite directions.
Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at the Carson Group, provides a technical analysis of the markets. Journalist Charles Hecker discusses his book Zero Sum: The Arc of International Business in Russia. Bloomberg Businessweek Columnist Max Chafkin discusses Elon Musk’s X raising close to $1 billion in fresh equity funding.
