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.

 Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected as Roman Catholic pontiff, the first ever pope from the US and a possible bridge between the moderate and hardline sides of the Church. Prevost, 69, chose the name of Leo XIV for his pontificate and was greeted by thousands of cheering faithful as he stepped out onto a balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square to be presented to the world. 

“May peace be with you,” the new pope told a cheering crowd waving flags. 

The new pope inherits from his predecessor Pope Francis a church that is facing internal strife between progressives and conservatives over matters such as divorce and LGBTQ+ issues, while trying to navigate geopolitical tensions.

Amazon.com gave a weaker-than-expected forecast for operating profit in the current quarter, pointing toward tariffs and trade policies that may cause consumers to pull back on spending. The world’s largest online retailer projected operating profit of $13 billion to $17.5 billion, compared with an average estimate of $17.8 billion. Sales will be $159 billion to $164 billion in the period ending in June, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, expected $161.4 billion.

Amazon shares have fallen about 13% this year as Wall Street weighs the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on a retail operation that sources much of its goods from China. Investors are generally bullish on the company’s efforts to become a major force in artificial intelligence, but there are concerns that Amazon’s prodigious spending on data centers may not translate into meaningful sales growth any time soon.

Amazon Web Services, the largest seller of rented computing power, reported first-quarter sales gained 17% to $29.3 billion, in line with analysts’ estimates. It was the unit’s slowest growth in a year.

Microsoft Corp. reported better-than-expected sales and profit, suggesting customer demand hasn’t been rattled by tariffs and wider economic uncertainty. Total revenue in the fiscal third quarter increased 13% to $70.1 billion, while adjusted profit was $3.46 a share, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts on average estimated sales of $68.5 billion and adjusted per-share earnings of $3.21.

Meta Platforms Inc. posted first-quarter sales that beat Wall Street estimates, a sign that the company’s advertising business is so far weathering the Trump administration’s ongoing trade war. Sales were $42.3 billion in the first quarter, the maker of Facebook and Instagram said Wednesday. That beat analysts’ estimates for $41.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31. The company also said current-quarter revenue will be in line with analysts’ expectations, and that it will boost spending as it continues to invest in artificial intelligence.

Qualcomm Inc., the biggest maker of chips that run smartphones, gave a tepid revenue prediction for the current quarter, underscoring concerns that tariffs will hurt demand for its products. Revenue in the period ending in June will be $9.9 billion to $10.7 billion, the company said Wednesday in a statement. The midpoint of that range was slightly below the average analyst estimate of $10.33 billion. The outlook renews concern that the market for smartphones is suffering from a looming trade war.

For instant reaction and analysis to these results, plus other tech earnings, hosts Tim Stenovec and Carol Massar speak with Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analysts Mandeep Singh and Kunjan Sobhani.

Shari Redstone wanted to know what 60 Minutes was going to say next about President Donald Trump.

The CBS newsmagazine aired two segments involving Trump on April 13 that angered the president, one on his plans to take over Greenland and another an interview with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that discussed US policy in the region. Trump immediately lashed out on social media, saying 60 Minutes should “pay a big price” for its frequent reporting on him, which he called “fraudulent.”

Following Trump’s post, Redstone, who is the chair of CBS’ parent company Paramount Global, had a conversation with CBS Chief Executive Officer George Cheeks to discuss 60 Minutes’ upcoming slate of stories about the president. Redstone indicated which ones she thought were fair and those that could be problematic, according to CBS employees Bloomberg spoke with.

60 Minutes didn’t change its plans based on her feedback, the employees said. The network aired a segment Sunday about Trump’s cuts to the National Institutes of Health. Still, Executive Producer Bill Owens announced to his staff last week that he’s leaving, citing corporate interference at the most-watched TV news program in the US.

The 37-year CBS News veteran said in a memo to staff that it had become clear he “would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it. To make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience.”

Also on Sunday night, correspondent Scott Pelley closed out the show with an explanation for Owens’ departure. “Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways,” Pelley told viewers. “None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he had lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it.”

Owens’ exit is the culmination of months of conflict between Redstone and CBS’ news division, during which the billionaire publicly criticized its decision-making and privately pushed for leadership changes, according to interviews with almost a dozen current and former Paramount employees, most of whom asked to not be identified discussing internal company business. Redstone, Owens and Cheeks all declined to comment. Semafor reported earlier some details about Redstone’s request to hear about upcoming stories.

A solid Wall Street week is ending with gains for stocks as a rally in the market’s most-influential group offset conflicting signals about progress in President Donald Trump’s trade negotiations.

The surge in tech mega caps put the S&P 500 on track for its longest advance since January. Tesla shares jumped while Google parent Alphabet Inc. climbed on solid results. Equities briefly lost steam as Trump suggested another delay to his higher so-called “reciprocal” tariffs was unlikely, raising pressure on nations to negotiate trade deals with his administration.

Asked about the possibility of granting another 90-day pause, Trump cast that scenario as “unlikely,” while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday. Trump also said that he would not drop tariffs on China, the world’s second largest economy, unless Beijing offers “something substantial” in return.
Trump said he believed financial markets were adjusting to his tariff policy, downplaying the volatility that has hit equity and bond markets this month after he announced plans to hit about 60 US trading partners with higher duties.

President Donald Trump said his administration was talking with China on trade, after Beijing denied the existence of negotiations on a deal and demanded the US revoke all unilateral tariffs.

“They had a meeting this morning,” Trump said Thursday during a meeting with Norway’s prime minister when a reporter asked about the Chinese statement.

Pressed on which administration officials were involved in discussions, the US president said, “it doesn’t matter who ‘they’ is. We may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we’ve been meeting with China.”

The exchange exposed the ongoing disconnect between Washington and Beijing, as President Xi Jinping’s government maintains a defiant stance despite Trump’s recent suggestion he could lower tariffs on China.

Separately, the US will demand that Russia accept Ukraine’s right to develop its own, adequately equipped, army and defense industry as part of a peace agreement, according to people familiar with the matter, pushing back on Russia’s insistence that the country largely demilitarize as a condition to end the war.

Meanwhile Google parent Alphabet and Intel reported quarterly earnings after the close of US trading Thursday.

Alphabet reported first-quarter revenue and profit that exceeded analysts’ expectations, buoyed by continued strength in its search advertising business.

First-quarter sales, excluding partner payouts, were $76.5 billion, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts had expected $75.4 billion on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Net income was $2.81 per share, compared with Wall Street’s estimate of $2.01.

Alphabet needs to ensure momentum in its internet search advertising and cloud businesses in order to justify its heightened investment in the artificial intelligence race. Competition is prompting the company and its rivals to spend heavily on infrastructure, research and talent. While Google benefits from AI startups spending on its cloud and business tools, it’s also racing to present an answer to popular conversational AI chatbots, which consumers are beginning to think of as an alternative to using Google Search.

Intel Corp., the chipmaker attempting a comeback under new Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan, gave a weak forecast for the current period and said it’s cutting workers to bring costs in line with the business’s smaller size.

Second-quarter revenue will be between $11.2 billion and $12.4 billion, the company said in a statement Thursday. That was well short of the $12.9 billion average analyst estimate.

The cost-cutting plan will involve “eliminating management layers” to enable it to make faster decisions, Intel said. The company doesn’t yet have an estimate for the one-time expenses associated with the cuts, but expects operating costs to be reduced to about $17 billion this year and $16 billion in 2026. Bloomberg News reported this week that Intel is planning to slash its employee ranks by more than 20%.

Whirlpool Corp. maintained its full-year financial outlook despite uncertainly over global tariffs, saying their long-term impact will benefit its position in the US home-appliance market.

The refrigerator-maker still expects net sales of $15.8 billion, while ongoing earnings should be around $10 per share this year, it said in a statement. It also expects to cut more than $200 million of costs from its business.

Signs Donald Trump is rethinking the most-aggressive elements of his combative stances on trade and the Federal Reserve spurred back-to-back gains in stocks and the dollar, while soothing volatility across asset classes.

The S&P 500 rose 1.7%, though it pared an earlier surge that had swelled to as much 3.4%, as investors tried to gauge how seriously to take pronouncements of flexibility in negotiations with China and other trading partners. The greenback climbed against most major currencies.

After a report that the US would be willing to phase in lighter tariffs on Beijing over five years on Wednesday, Trump told reporters that China was “going to do fine” once talks had settled. Meantime, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the president hasn’t offered to take down US tariffs on China on a unilateral basis.
Long-maturity Treasury yields fell as Trump allayed fears he would fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The yen slid as Bessent said America won’t be pursuing specific exchange-rate targets in its talks with Japan. Bitcoin jumped while haven trades like gold pushed lower.

Tesla Inc. backed away from an earlier view for 2025 sales growth and pledged to revisit its outlook next quarter, a sign that tariffs, an aging vehicle lineup and the backlash against Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk are having an impact on the electric-vehicle maker.

The company on Tuesday reported adjusted earnings of 27 cents per share for the first quarter, below the average analyst estimate. Tesla omitted an earlier prediction that sales would return to growth for the full year, saying instead that it’s “making prudent investments that will set up” the vehicle business for growth. That will depend on factors including production increases and the “broader macroeconomic environment.”
“It is difficult to measure the impacts of shifting global trade policy on the automotive and energy supply chains, our cost structure and demand for durable goods and related services,” Tesla said.

The dimmer outlook for the year follows a tough 2024, when the carmaker missed its annual sales growth target for the first time in more than a decade. It also fell short of analysts’ expectations for first-quarter vehicle sales, which were released earlier this month.

President Donald Trump’s tariffs are compounding Tesla’s challenges, and threaten to upend automotive supply chains globally and drive up costs across the industry. While Tesla is expected to be relatively less affected than many carmakers due to its large plants in California and Texas, its vehicles nevertheless contain some non-US components, and the company has warned of a potential impact.

The Supreme Court is considering an emergency petition from President Donald Trump that could imperil the Federal Reserve’s ability to remain independent. And earlier today, President Donald Trump warned the US economy may slow if the Federal Reserve does not move to immediately reduce interest rates, in his latest broadside against Fed Chair Jerome Powell. 

Trump said in a social media post Monday that “there is virtually No Inflation,” pointing to lower energy and food prices. “But there can be a SLOWING of the economy unless Mr. Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates, NOW,” Trump said, referring to Powell. 

Economists widely expect Trump’s tariffs to boost inflation and slow growth, even if just temporarily. While inflation has cooled notably in recent years, it remains elevated. Powell, along with several of his colleagues, has underscored the central bank must ensure new levies don’t lead to a more persistent bout of inflation. 

Trump has rattled Wall Street by repeatedly criticizing Powell and suggesting he had the ability to remove the Fed Chair before the end of his term. US equities sank on Monday as traders weighed the chances Powell gets axed, with the S&P 500 Index falling more than 3%. 

Trump has privately asked his advisers about the possibility of removing Powell, while some administration officials have warned him against doing so, according to people familiar with the matter. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Friday told reporters that the president was studying the question of whether he’s able to fire Powell. 

While the US economy grew at a healthy clip last year — at a 2.4% pace in the fourth quarter — economists see a tariff-induced drop in business investment and consumption driving a slowdown later this year. Meanwhile, progress on cooling inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target had stalled, but price growth slowed again in March, with the consumer price index rising 2.4% from a year earlier.

Shares in Eli Lilly surged on Friday  after its experimental pill helped patients shed weight and control blood sugar about as well as Ozempic, an advance that could turbocharge what’s already one of the fastest growing markets in medicine. Shares of the drug’s originator Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. also soared. 

The triumph of Ozempic, the blockbuster diabetes shot from Novo Nordisk A/S, and related drugs including Zepbound and Mounjaro from Lilly, has set off an all-out push to develop a pill that’s easier to take and less expensive to make. While rivals including Pfizer Inc. have suffered setbacks, analysts said success is critical to creating the $130 billion market they predict by the end of the decade.

Netflix reported first-quarter profit that exceeded Wall Street forecasts, boosted by a recent price increase and a strong slate of programming across the globe, like the hit UK series Adolescence. The owner of the world’s most popular online TV network said in a statement Thursday that earnings rose 25% to $6.61 a share, easily beating analysts’ estimates of $5.68. Sales grew 13% to $10.5 billion, in line with projections. This is the first time Netflix has reported financial results without disclosing how many customers it added or lost — the main yardstick investors previously used to gauge the company’s performance. Management is forcing investors to judge its success or failure based on more traditional financial metrics. The company boosted operating income by 27% to $3.3 billion, beating expectations of $3 billion. Its operating margin of 31.7% was more than three percentage points above its own forecast.

Google illegally monopolized some online advertising technology markets, according to a federal judge, whose ruling marked the latest antitrust setback for the company and a challenge to its main source of revenue.

US District Judge Leonie Brinkema found on Thursday that the Alphabet Inc. unit violated antitrust law in the markets for advertising exchanges and tools used by websites to sell ad space, known as ad servers. But she said the company didn’t meet the definition of a monopoly for a third market of tools used by advertisers to buy display ads.

Alphabet shares quickly sank as much as 3.2% on the ruling, then slightly pared their losses. The stock was down 1.1% at $153.78 at 1:10 p.m. in New York.

Brinkema’s decision marked the second time in a year that Google was found by a court to be an illegal monopolist. A trial begins Monday in Washington on a remedy after the company was found to monopolize the online search market. The Justice Department is seeking to force Alphabet to sell off its Chrome browser.

In the ad technology case, Brinkema wrote in her 115-page opinion Thursday that “Google has willfully engaged in a series of anticompetitive acts to acquire and maintain monopoly power in the publisher ad server and ad exchange markets for open-web display advertising.” For over a decade, Google pushed web publishers to use its tools that both placed ads on websites and help manage their advertising business, the judge found.

The Trump administration is preparing to pressure nations to curb trade with China in negotiations over US tariffs, according to people familiar with the matter.

Dozens of nations are seeking reductions or exemptions from President Donald Trump’s historic import taxes. In exchange for doing so, the US is set to ask them to take steps limiting China’s manufacturing might, a bid to ensure Beijing doesn’t find avenues around Trump’s tariffs.

Trump’s top economic advisers are discussing asking representatives from other nations to impose so-called secondary tariffs, essentially a monetary sanction, on imports from certain countries with close China ties, according to a person familiar with the process. The US also wants trading partners to refrain from absorbing excess goods from China, other people said. Other concessions on China may also be put on the table.

Mexican officials are expecting the US to ask their country to increase tariffs on electric vehicle imports from China, according to a person familiar with the government’s thinking. Mexico’s economy ministry declined to comment.

Mark Zuckerberg took the stand in federal court Monday as the first witness in the US Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust trial seeking to break up Meta Platforms Inc.
The company’s founder and chief executive officer will face questions about the company’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC is seeking to force Meta to divest those platforms, alleging the acquisitions gave Meta an illegal monopoly on portions of the social networking industry.

In initial questioning by the FTC’s lead trial lawyer, Daniel Matheson, Zuckerberg described the company’s early history and acknowledged that he rejected advice to sell the company early on because it would not be possible to compete with MySpace.
Zuckerberg went on to describe the creation of the Facebook news feed in 2006 to facilitate “real connections to actual friends.” That use is key to the FTC’s argument that the company is primarily focused on sharing information with friends and family.

Wall Street’s gyrations shook markets anew, with stocks wiping out losses to extend their best weekly rally since 2023. The rebound came as a selloff in longer-term Treasuries and the dollar abated, following a few chaotic days that underscored fears foreign investors are beating a retreat from American assets.

Volatility shows little signs of easing as concerns that President Donald Trump’s fast-evolving trade policy is not only shaking the global economy, but threatening the US status as the world’s safe haven. The S&P 500 jumped about2% on a report that a Federal Reserve official said the central bank is ready to help stabilize markets, if needed. US 30-year yields dropped, while still remaining up by 45 basis points since last Friday.

Not since the pandemic has there been this little clarity on the outlook for economies, markets and businesses, with China unleashing retaliatory measures and Trump pausing some levies only hours after they took effect. Variations of “uncertainty,” “unknowns” and “turbulence” arose again and again as three of the biggest US banks kicked off the industry’s earnings reports on Friday. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said he expects “a kerfuffle” in Treasuries that prompts a Fed intervention.

Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump backtracked on his once-in-a-century trade war to prevent a meltdown in financial markets, frantic selloffs hit US stocks, bonds and the dollar yet again as fears of a worldwide recession engulfed Wall Street.

The S&P 500 Index ended the day down 3.5% as investors seized on Wednesday’s historic rebound to sell. Long-term Treasuries sank, sending yields soaring after a brief respite. The dollar tumbled for a third day as traders liquidated US assets in favor of haven currencies like the Swiss franc, which surged by the most in a decade. Meanwhile, oil prices fell further.

In a measure of how volatile markets have become since Trump announced his plan to impose punitive tariffs on dozens of America’s trading partners, the S&P 500’s gyrations in the past two trading have rivaled those unleashed by the pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis.

The moves, in the end, all pointed toward the same sobering conclusion: Trump’s chaotic tariff rollouts — regardless of where they eventually settle — is rapidly undermining confidence in the US economy and threatening to keep markets on edge for the next three months as traders wait to see how it will all play out.

President Donald Trump’s pledge to pause tariffs on some trading partners ignited the biggest burst of buying Wall Street has seen since 2008. Trump announced a 90-day pause on higher reciprocal tariffs that hit dozens of trade partners after midnight, while raising duties on China to 125%.

After narrowly avoiding a bear market, the S&P 500 staged a historic bounce from a selloff that wiped out trillions from global share prices amid the specter of a full-blown trade war that fueled fears of a US recession. The equity benchmark soared 9.5%, the most since the global financial crisis, while the Nasdaq 100 surged 12% as euphoria gripped markets after four days of bruising, high-volume trading. Nearly every stock in major gauges rose.

Treasuries staged a tentative return to normalcy as investors dumped havens on fear of missing out on the great risk rebound. Two-year US yields briefly spiked past 4% as traders pared expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year.

Another volatile day on Wall Street pushed the S&P 500 Index back to the brink of a bear market as the Trump administration doubled down on its plans to enact hefty tariffs that threaten to send the American economy into a recession.

The S&P 500 fell 1.6% in a fourth straight session that has seen moves of at least 4% from peak to trough. The index powered higher by as much as 4% in early trading on optimism that President Donald Trump would negotiate lower rates on key allies.

Meanwhile President Trump’s tariffs are rattling US consumers, who are stocking up on everything from cars to olive oil and iPhones. The behavior offers some good news for businesses that are rushing to figure out how to respond to the upheaval caused by Trump’s global trade war.

Tesla Inc.’s stock extended losses Monday, dropping below a price at which Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41 a.m. in New York, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick said during a Fox News interview on March 19 — when Tesla closed at $235.86 — that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.” Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk told Tesla employees the following day that they should hang on to their shares.

Meanwhile waves of volatility shook broader markets anew, with stocks, bonds and commodities getting whipsawed by another deluge of headlines around President Donald Trump’s trade war that only reinforced the clouds hanging over the outlook for investing and the economy.
Traders looking for equities to snap back after a selloff of trillions of dollars were faced with a series of twists and turns on Monday. While the S&P 500 moved away from the threshold of a bear market, its bottom-to-top intraday reversal was the biggest since 2020 when Covid upended global trading. Treasuries weakened, with yields across all maturities higher by over 10 basis points — a stark turnaround from the plunge earlier in the day.

In every corner of the financial markets, from stocks to bonds to commodities, investors sent Donald Trump the same unmistakable message: The trade war he unleashed is threatening to set off a worldwide recession — and fast.
With China retaliating less than 48 hours after the US president rolled out his punitive tariffs, traders are pricing in what increasingly looks like a negative-feedback loop as Trump shows little signs of backing down.

The frantic two-day selloff unleashed by Trump’s decision left little unscathed, hammering stock prices in Asia, Europe and the developing world, and prompted investors to race into havens like government bonds.

It hit the US hardest, worsening Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the trade-policy shift is likely to slow growth and spur inflation — a vexing combination that could prevent the central bank from cutting interest rates deeply enough to offset the toll.

As traders dialed back rate-cut bets, the S&P 500 Index tumbled 6%, capping the steepest two-day slide since the pandemic hit the US in March 2020 and wiping out some $5 trillion of value. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 also posted a similar drop, leaving it down more than 20% from its mid-February peak.

On today's episode:     
President Donald Trump imposed the steepest American tariffs in a century as he steps up his campaign to reshape the global economy, sparking threats of retaliation and a selloff in markets around the world.Trump announced Wednesday he will apply at least a 10% tariff on all exporters to the US, with even higher duties on some 60 nations, to counter large trade imbalances with the US. That includes some of the country’s biggest trading partners, such as China — which now faces a tariff of well above 50% on many goods — as well as the European Union, Japan and Vietnam.“For years, hard-working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense,” Trump said during an event in the White House Rose Garden to unveil the so-called reciprocal tariffs. “Now it’s our turn to prosper.”The move marks a dramatic escalation in Trump’s trade war, one that risks triggering retaliation from other countries and upends calculations for businesses and consumers at home. China and the EU, America’s largest trading partner, both said they were preparing to take countermeasures in response.The US president has embraced tariffs as a tool to assert US power, revive manufacturing at home and exact geopolitical concessions — counter to the decades-old consensus that lower trade barriers help to foster ties among nations and prevent conflicts. Economists say the near-term result of his measures will likely be higher US prices and slower growth — or perhaps even a recession.Global financial markets were hit by a sweeping selloff after Trump’s announcement, with US equity futures slumping as much as 4%.Gold hit an all-time high and the traditional haven Japanese yen soared, while China maintained its daily support of the yuan. Ten-year Treasury yields fell toward the closely-watched 4% level, their lowest since October.Read More: Fear Grips Markets as Trump Tariffs Raise Risks to Global GrowthLess than three months after returning to the White House, Trump has already erected trade barriers that are bigger by some measures than those imposed in the notoriously protectionist 1930s. Bloomberg Economics calculates that the effective tax rate the US now charges on more than $3 trillion of imported goods may climb to around 23% — higher than any point in more than a century.A statement published Wednesday by the United States Trade Representative explained the Trump administration calculated its raft of new tariffs primarily based on existing trade balances. Countries running a trade surplus with the US faced a flat 10% rate regardless, as did nations where trade was roughly even.There’s a small difference in the tariff rates first announced by Trump and more than a dozen of those listed in the annex that accompanied the White House executive order. For countries like South Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan and India, the rates in the annex are about 1 percentage point higher than the initial announcement.The 10% baseline charge on everyone takes effect after midnight Saturday. The higher duties on targeted countries — which replace, rather than add on top of the 10% rate — are due to kick in on April 9, the White House said.Read More: List of Reciprocal Tariffs by CountryFor now, the new measures don’t include Canada and Mexico, which are embroiled in a separate on-and-off tariff dispute with the US. They also won’t apply to some products that are subject to separate duties tied to so-called Sec. 232 investigations such as autos, semiconductors and lumber.The reciprocal tariffs were “much worse than we feared,” said Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. There’ll be “huge implications for rerouting of trade,” she said.The president, who’s sought to frame his trade plans as a boost for his blue-collar voters, was joined in the Rose Garden by union members and workers from various industries — including a retired autoworker who spoke on stage. Later, Trump brandished large boards during his 48-minute address to display each nation’s new rate.

Bloomberg News Technology Reporter Kurt Wagner discusses Elon Musk acquiring the social network formerly known as Twitter for the second time in three years.
Musk, the world’s richest person, on March 28 used his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, to purchase his social media platform in an all-stock deal that values X at $33 billion, not including debt. The new joint entity, which will be called XAI Holdings, has a value of more than $100 billion, again excluding debt, Bloomberg News reported.
The deal was a surprise, but not necessarily shocking: The two businesses have worked together closely since xAI’s founding in 2023, including on data licensing and product distribution for xAI’s chatbot, Grok. They also share many of the same investors, and in some cases, employees even share office space in Palo Alto, California.
The transaction valued xAI at $80 billion, Musk said — a jump from a valuation of about $50 billion in November, the last time the company raised money from investors. The $33 billion equity value of X in the deal is about the same as its valuation in a recently closed funding round, and also close to Musk’s take-private price in 2022, which also counted $12 billion in debt.

Bloomberg News News Senior Reporter Jennifer Dlouhy discusses President Trump signing a proclamation to implement a 25% tariff on auto imports and pledged harsher punishment on the EU and Canada if they join forces against the US, expanding a trade war and triggering threats of retaliation.
“What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump said at the White House on Wednesday as he pushed ahead with a program seeking to bring more manufacturing jobs to the US.
Hours later, Trump suggested further tariffs would be imposed on the European Union and Canada if they worked together “to do economic harm” to the US. The reaction in currency markets including the euro and Canadian dollar was muted, and the S&P 500 fluctuated to start the day Thursday.

Bloomberg News US Treasury Reporter Daniel Flatley discusses President Donald Trump appearing to invent a new economic statecraft tactic on Monday by threatening what he dubbed “secondary tariffs” on countries that buy oil from Venezuela to choke off its oil trade with other nations.
The threat, delivered via Truth Social post then confirmed in an executive order, said countries could face 25% tariffs on trade with the US if they purchase oil and gas from Venezuela, which is already under heavy US sanctions. The move was meant to pressure Venezuela for the “tens of thousands of high level, and other, criminals” that Trump said Venezuela has sent to the US.
The novel approach adds to a growing list of tools that Trump has been eager to deploy as part of a push to use America’s economic clout as leverage in achieving its foreign and domestic policy goals. The idea seems certain to increase tensions with the Latin American nation over immigration and foreign policy.

Bloomberg News Senior White House Correspondent Josh Wingrove discusses President Donald Trump poised to be more targeted than the barrage of tariffs he has occasionally threatened, aides and allies say, a potential relief for markets gripped by anxiety about an all-out tariff war.
Trump is preparing a “Liberation Day” tariff announcement on April 2, unveiling so-called reciprocal tariffs he sees as retribution for tariffs and other barriers from other countries, including longtime US allies. While the announcement would remain a very significant expansion of US tariffs, it’s shaping up as more focused than the sprawling, fully global effort Trump has otherwise mused about, officials familiar with the matter say.
Trump will announce widespread reciprocal tariffs on nations or blocs but is set to exclude some, and — as of now — the administration is not planning separate, sectoral-specific tariffs to be unveiled at the same event, as Trump had once teased, officials said.

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Logistics Analyst Lee Klaskow breaks down FedEx shares falling on Friday after the parcel delivery company lowered its full-year guidance for a third consecutive quarter, citing inflation and uncertain demand for shipments.
Adjusted earnings are now expected to be in the range of $18 to $18.60 per share this fiscal year, below the $18.95 average analyst estimate. FedEx also cautioned that revenue may be slightly down versus the prior year, compared to its previous expectation that sales would be roughly flat.
FedEx is the latest US company to sound the alarm amid weakening consumer confidence and potential fallout from President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war. The parcel company, considered an economic bellwether because of its exposure to a broad swath of the global economy, said its latest outlook assumes the global economic, political and trade environment doesn’t worsen any further.

While the Federal Reserve kept its benchmark rate steady at its meeting this week, investors are betting that the central bank will still likely cut rates this year. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury fell Wednesday.

Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist Ira Jersey and Veronica Willis, Global Investment Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, discuss Federal Reserve officials holding their benchmark interest rate steady for a second straight meeting, though they telegraphed expectations for slower economic growth and higher inflation.
The Federal Open Market Committee voted on Wednesday to keep the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 4.25%-4.5%, and said it would further slow the pace at which it is reducing its balance sheet. Governor Christopher Waller, who supported holding rates steady, dissented from the decision over the balance sheet move.
The decision to hold rates steady comes as President Donald Trump’s ambitious and frequently erratic policy agenda has placed the economy, and the Fed’s ability to keep it on track, under increasing pressure. Trump’s ever-changing plans to levy tariffs on US trading partners have stoked fears of an economic slowdown and raised fresh worries over inflation - a combination that could pull policymakers in opposite directions.

Bloomberg's Tom Keene, Jonathan Ferro and Lisa Abramowicz discuss remarks from Fed Chair Jay Powell following the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance.
Federal Reserve officials held their benchmark interest rate steady for a second straight meeting, caught between mounting concerns that the economy is slowing and inflation could remain stubbornly high.
Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged the high degree of uncertainty from President Donald Trump’s significant policy changes, but repeated the central bank is not in a hurry to adjust borrowing costs. He said officials can wait for greater clarity on the impact of those policies on the economy before acting.

Blomberg News Reporter Tyler Kendall and Angela Stent, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution, discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump agreeing that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, according to a US readout of the conversation.
Vladimir Putin committed in a phone call with Donald Trump to limit Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days but declined to accept the broader ceasefire that the US sought. The Russian and US presidents agreed that the two sides would begin negotiations on a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea as well as a “full ceasefire and permanent peace,” the White House said in a statement after the call ended. Those talks will begin “immediately” in the Middle East,

Bloomberg International Economics and Policy Correspondent Michael McKee and Bloomberg News Chief Correspondent for Global Macro Markets Liz McCormick discuss why Fed Chair Jerome Powell faces a tricky task this week of both assuring investors the economy remains on solid footing while also conveying policymakers stand ready to step in if necessary.
Even as the Federal Reserve chair has touted US resilience, uneasiness sparked by President Donald Trump’s rapidly escalating trade war has sent stocks tumbling over the past month. Bond yields are down, too, as is consumer sentiment as worries about the economic outlook mount.
“Powell needs to give some sort of a signal that they’re watching it,” said Dominic Konstam, head of macro strategy at Mizuho Securities USA. While the Fed chief will likely make it clear that officials don’t target the stock market, they can’t ignore the recent slide, he warned.

Bloomberg International Economics and Policy Correspondent Michael McKee discusses US consumer sentiment falling to a more than two-year low and long-term inflation expectations jumped by the most since 1993, illustrating growing apprehension about the economic impact from tariffs.
The preliminary March sentiment index dropped to 57.9, the lowest level since November 2022, from 64.7 a month earlier, according to University of Michigan data issued Friday. The figure was weaker than all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
Consumers expect prices to rise at an annual rate of 3.9% over the next five to 10 years, up 0.4 percentage point from the prior month and the highest in more than three decades. They saw costs rising at an annual rate of 4.9% over the next year, up from 4.3% and the highest since 2022.

Bloomberg International Economics and Policy Correspondent Michael McKee discusses news that wholesale inflation stagnated in February thanks to a sharp decline in trade margins, though one measure of goods prices jumped and details were also less favorable for the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge.

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 discusses President Donald Trump initially saying he was increasing the steel and aluminum tariff on Canadian goods to 50% to retaliate against Ontario’s move to place a levy on electricity sent to the US.

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.
