US Treasuries Fall on Tariff Signs
Watch Alix and Paul LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Alix Steel Today’s Podcast Features are: Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist, discusses US Treasuries falling. It’s a sign that investors are favoring riskier assets, after reports that the tariffs President Donald Trump is set to announce next month will be more targeted than he has indicated. Dana D’Auria, Co-Chief Investment Officer, at Envestnet, discusses her outlook for the markets. She thinks tariffs, looming federal budget cuts, and high US equity valuations are the likely causes of this new market correction. This exact mixture of correction “ingredients” may be new, but corrections themselves are not. Yes, this is a nervous time for investors, however history illustrates that stock market corrections are not unusual. A correction can happen without a corresponding economic recession, and the majority of corrections don’t turn into more serious bear markets (which occur when the market drops 20% from its high.) Ros Mathieson, Bloomberg News Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, discusses U.S, Russia talks. US and Russian officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia a day after American and Ukrainian teams held talks, as President Donald Trump pushes for progress in achieving a ceasefire in the war. The Russian delegation arrived at the venue on Monday for the closed-door talks with the US in the Saudi capital Riyadh, Russia’s Tass news service reported. Ryan Fisher, Bloomberg BNEF EV Charging Team Leader, discusses BYD’s announcement that its newest electric vehicle can charge in just five minutes. This brings EVs a step closer to the advantage gasoline has in refueling and crushes the models of competitors. The Chinese manufacturer said that a rapid charge with an unprecedented 1,000 kilowatts of power extends the range of its EV by 400 kilometers (249 miles.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
