    Trump and MBS Tout $1 Trillion Pledge as Details Remain Elusive

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman touted a pledge for $1 trillion in commercial deals in Riyadh on Tuesday, a staggering figure that doesn’t quite stand up to scrutiny.“With the help of the people of the Middle East, the people in this room, partners throughout the region, the golden age of the Middle East can proceed right alongside of us,” Trump said at a Saudi-US investment summit to announce the planned deals. “We will work together. We will be together. We will succeed together. We will win together, and we will always be friends.”But the glitzy event — where top officials and corporate executives including billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk and Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang sat in armchairs, serenaded by Trump’s typical rally soundtrack — sets up a test for the US president and Saudi crown prince, who have struggled at times to match their rhetoric with reality.Both leaders claimed Saudi Arabia would invest $1 trillion in the US, but signage at the conference put the cumulative total of the deals as actually worth over $300 billion. Hours earlier, the White House cited a $600 billion investment. The discrepancy is significant: The $1 trillion figure roughly matches Saudi Arabia’s entire gross domestic product.Today's show features: Gregg Roman, Executive Director of the Middle East Forum Bloomberg News Senior Editor & Crypto / Digital Payments Team Leader Mike Regan and Bloomberg News Investigations Reporter Anthony Cormier Karen Veraa-Perry.

    Nasdaq 100 Enters Bull Market After US-China Truce

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Wall Street’s bets that the US-China trade truce marked the end to an all-out tariff war drove the S&P 500 up over 3%, while sinking defensive corners of the market from bonds to gold and haven currencies. The dollar saw its best day since November.The rebound in risk appetite and diminished expectations of a recession drove the stock benchmark above Donald Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” level. A surge in big techs drove the Nasdaq 100 back into a bull market just a month after it plunged 20% from a previous record. Amid a potential reset in inflation expectations, Treasury yields climbed as traders lowered their Federal Reserve wagers to just two rate cuts in 2025.For big investors shocked into defensive measures at the height of April’s chaos, the swift recovery in markets has been a mixed blessing. Shorting the dollar, going long stock volatility and piling on bets premised on multiple Fed rate cuts were among the most popular trades in mid-April. Each has taken severe lumps. Indeed, their unwinding may be adding fuel to the bounce-back.The US and China will temporarily lower tariffs on each other’s products, buying the world’s two largest economies three months to work toward a broader agreement. Trump said China had agreed to remove non-tariff barriers to US imports as he announced a de-escalation of his trade war with Beijing, suggesting even greater concessions could be in store if talks progress.Today's show features: Nancy Lazar, Chief Economist at Piper Sandler Doug Ciocca, CEO and Partner at Kavar Capital Partners Jay Inslee, former Governor of Washington See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FAA Weighs Pullback in Newark Flights; Trump Floats Tax on Rich

    Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Airlines and US aviation officials plan to meet on further flight cutbacks at Newark airport following multiple breakdowns in radar systems, according to people familiar with the matter.  The plan currently under consideration would encourage carriers to voluntarily decrease the number of flights for a limited period at the transportation hub outside New York City, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The Department of Transportation is expected to schedule discussions with airline leaders in the coming weeks, one of the people said.The urgency for such a meeting was underscored Friday by a second incident in which air traffic controllers guiding planes in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport briefly lost communications and radar displays. It follows a similar breakdown on April 28. Neither resulted in injuries or accidents.Today's show features: George Ferguson, Bloomberg Intelligence senior aerospace, defense & airlines analyst Erik Wasson, Bloomberg News congressional reporter on Trump Cautions GOP on Tax Hike for Rich, But He’s ‘OK’ With It and SALT Republicans Have to Accept ‘Unhappy’ Deal, GOP Chair Warns Nina Trentmann, Bloomberg News senior editor & Procore CFO Howard Fu on his company's outlook and his perspective on how tariffs could impact construction Chris Palmeri, Bloomberg News entertainment reporter & Andrew Silverman, Bloomberg Intelligence Government analyst on Trump Plans 100% Levy on Foreign Films, Deepening Trade War and how film tariffs would actually function Hosts: Matt Miller and Norah Mulinda Producer: Justin Milliner See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
