    Mild Inflation Print Boosts Fed-Cut Bets

    The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy.Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Wall Street got a degree of relief as relatively tame inflation data spurred bigger bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts, with bond yields falling. While most stocks gained, weakness in tech giants kept a lid on the market.Treasury two-year yields dropped toward their lowest since 2022. Money markets priced in higher chances the Fed will slash rates more than twice this year. About 370 shares in the S&P 500 rose, but the gauge was little changed at the end of its worst week since November. A gauge of megacaps lost 1.1%. Amazon.com Inc. saw its longest slide in almost 20 years. The Russell 2000 index of small firms climbed 1.2%. Bitcoin jumped.The consumer price index rose 0.2% in January, the smallest gain since July and restrained by lower energy costs. While services costs picked up last month, prices of core goods remained stable. The core CPI rose from a year ago by the least since 2021. The overall gauge also eased on an annual basis.Today's show features: Dr. Adam Posen, President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, on the global economic outlook and the path for US monetary policy Christina Stembel, Founder & CEO of Farmgirl Flowers, on the importance of Valentine’s Day to her company’s annual sales Bloomberg News Banking Reporter Todd Gillespie on Kathy Ruemmler leaving her position as the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs following a monthslong saga over her previous association with Jeffrey Epstein Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Ed Ludlow on SpaceX considering a dual-class share structure in its planned IPO Bloomberg News Executive Editor for Crypto, Payments and Digital Finance stacy-marie ishmael on Coinbase’s post-earnings surge and the broader crypto trade See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Coinbase Posts $667 Million Loss, Revenue Declines 20%

    The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Coinbase Global Inc. showed how quickly a cooling crypto market can pressure even one of the industry’s most diversified exchanges. Revenue in the fourth quarter tumbled a more-than-estimated 20% to $1.8 billion. The company swung to a net loss of $667 million compared with a $1.3 billion profit from the same period last year, as falling token prices drained trading activity across digital assets and forced Coinbase to mark down the value of its crypto holdings. The results arrive as Bitcoin has fallen nearly 50% from October’s high, a retreat that has left many retail traders sitting on the sidelines and revived comparisons to earlier crypto downturns. Those cycles have often forced exchanges to retrench quickly, and early signs suggest this one may follow a similar pattern. Rival exchange Gemini Space Station said last week that it plans to cut up to 25% of its workforce and scale back international operations, underscoring how rapidly weaker markets can translate into operational pressure. Kraken’s chief financial officer departed the exchange, which reported sequentially lower fourth-quarter revenue. Robinhood Markets Inc. said this week its revenue from crypto trading declined 38%.Today's show features: Bloomberg New Equities Reporter Monique Mulima breaks down quarterly earnings from Coinbase Bloomberg News Senior Editor, Equities Americas Eric Weiner and Senior Editor Ed Harrison on continued Wall Street jitters due to concern over technology profits and the impact of AI on various sectors Bloomberg Economics US and Canada Economist Stuart Paul on a new report from his team breaking down the potential economic costs of various geopolitical ruptures Steve Moore, Co-Founder of Unleash Prosperity and a former Trump Economic Advisor, on the US economic and monetary policy outlook See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    US Adds 130,000 Jobs and Unemployment Falls After Tepid 2025

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.US payrolls rose in January by the most in more than a year and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, suggesting the labor market continued to stabilize at the start of 2026.Employers added 130,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate declined to 4.3%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Wednesday. That followed revisions to the prior year, which showed a marked slowdown in hiring. Job gains averaged just 15,000 a month last year, down from the initially reported 49,000 pace.The report suggests the labor market is finding its footing after a year marked by rising unemployment and minimal hiring. While economists expect hiring to remain generally sluggish in 2026, more clarity around the impact of President Donald Trump’s economic policies and lower borrowing costs could encourage some employers to boost headcount.The January data reinforces Federal Reserve officials’ inclination to keep interest rates on hold for now. Many traders appeared to push out their timeline for the next rate cut to July from June.In leaving rates unchanged last month, Chair Jerome Powell cited signs of steadying in the job market.“Coming off of a hiring recession in 2025, this is welcome news,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “I think Fed Chair Powell was right — the labor market appears to be stabilizing.”Today's show features: Constance Hunter, Chief Economist at the EIU (Economist Intelligence Unit), on the late-arriving January nonfarm payrolls report Aaron Jagdfeld, Chairman, President and CEO of Generac, on earnings, the state of manufacturing in America, and US trade policy impact Bloomberg News White House Editor Jordan Fabian on President Donald Trump reportedly mulling an exit from the North American trade pact that he helped negotiate, the USMCA Lauren Sanfilippo, Senior Investment Strategist, for Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank, on US consumer resilience and private sector growth See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
