US Inflation Eases, Offering Some Relief Ahead of Tariffs Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg Economics US Economist Stuart Paul discusses US consumer prices rising at the slowest pace in four months in February, welcome news for American households who remain apprehensive about the potential for tariffs to drive costs higher.
The consumer price index increased 0.2% after a sharp 0.5% advance in January, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Wednesday. Excluding often volatile food and energy categories, the so-called core measure rose 0.2% as well.
The respite, driven in part by a drop in prices for cars and gas, may be short-lived. Economists anticipate that an escalating trade war will drive up prices on a variety of goods from food to clothing in the coming months, testing the resilience of consumers and the broader economy.
Bloomberg News Metals & Mining Reporter Joe Deaux breaks down US metal tariffs sparking retaliation moves and calls for talks. Ed Price, Senior Fellow at New York University, explains how President Trump’s rise marks the end of a long progressive era in the US.

Ontario later announced it would suspend that 25% surcharge on electricity sent to the US.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced the change in a joint statement on social media, in which the pair said they would meet Thursday in Washington. Trump then commented to reporters at the White House that he would take another look at planned tariffs on Canada.

Market Volatility Raises Risk-On or Risk-Off Question Mar 10, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg Intelligence Chief Equity Strategist Gina Martin Adams discusses that while the cues from S&P 500 earnings generally support the outlook for stocks this year, the market's tolerance for risk is being dismantled by the combination of high profit expectations (they're the most elevated since 2018), tough comparisons and a year of weakening analyst revisions.
That said, growth is still improving for cyclical sectors and sentiment-driving margin expectations are back on the rise despite problematic cues from inflation. The period of easy earnings beats is likely ending for much of the benchmark, suggesting the fundamental backdrop may become choppier in 2025.
Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President of Europe Operations at Schneider Electric, shares her thoughts on the EU’s economic future around energy policy.

Job Market Softens With Higher Unemployment, Moderate Hiring Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg International Economics and Policy Correspondent Michael McKee, Bloomberg News Economics Editor Molly Smith and Jane Oates, Senior Policy Advisor at WorkingNation discuss US job growth steading last month while the unemployment rate rose — a mixed snapshot of a job market hanging in the balance of quickly changing government policy.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 151,000 in February after a downward revision to the prior month, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report out Friday. The unemployment rate rose to 4.1%. Friday’s report is the latest evidence that the labor market is softening, with more people permanently out of work, fewer workers on federal government payrolls and a jump in those working part-time for economic reasons. The number of Americans holding multiple jobs climbed to a record of nearly 8.9 million.
That sets a weak backdrop just as President Donald Trump’s policies raise concerns about the broader economy. Inflation has proven sticky in recent months and consumers are starting to pull back on spending, which, if sustained, may lead businesses to rethink their hiring plans.
Bloomberg News Senior Editor Nina Trentmann and Onsemi CFO Thad Trent discuss how the current economic environment is impacting the semiconductor industry. Mary Ellen Iskenderian, CEO at Women’s World Banking, talks about the importance of women’s financial inclusion ahead of International Women's Day. And we Drive to the Close with Tracie McMillion, Head of Global Asset Allocation at Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
