Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul Sweeney April 11th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Jordan Rochester, Head: FICC Macro Strategy EMEA at Mizuho, on rapid de-dollarization as the trade war with China heats up. China is raising tariffs on all US goods from 84% to 125% starting April 12, in response to the US's latest tariffs. The escalating trade war has led to a decline in global financial markets, with S&P 500 futures and European stocks falling, and the dollar extending its decline.
2) Kathy Jones, Chief Fixed Income Strategist at Charles Schwab, joins to discuss the bond market's pushback this week and what it's signaling and President Trump pushes ahead with his trade war with China. Investors are flocking to bunds as a safe-haven asset after the US Treasuries' historically bad week, leaving German yields largely unchanged, while the rate on the US 10-year debt has surged more than 40 basis points.
3) Savita Subramanian, Head: US Equity & Quant Strategy at Bank of America, brings us into PPI and discusses the outlook for inflation and equities in the US amid a growing China trade war. The inflation slowdown reflected is yesterday's CPI showed a decline in energy costs, used vehicles, hotel stays, and airfares, with the cost of motor vehicle insurance also retreating. Some experts still warn that higher inflation may be coming due to tariffs, with the impact expected to be felt in the May CPI report.
4) Jennifer Lee, Senior Economist at BMO Capital Markets, joins to discuss why the Fed's breathing easier today, but why the market volatility isn't over yet. US-China trade tensions escalated, causing a slide in futures, the dollar, and oil, with investors rushing to assess the impact on companies and growth.
5) Erica Groshen, former Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, on disruption in federal statistics, modernizing federal statistics, and preserving data integrity. A Labor Department report released in December showed the US Bureau of Labor Statistics needs to revamp its culture and improve how it disseminates key economic data.
