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 Businessweek Technology Editor Joshua Brustein and Bloomberg News US Semiconductor & Networking Reporter Ian King talk about Nvidia looking past DeepSeek and tariffs for their next chapter. Wendi Whitmore, Senior VP at Palo Alto Networks, explains how AI and geopolitical issues are impacting businesses globally. Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Reporter Amanda Mull discusses why President Trump’s ‘Buy American’ campaign won’t improve the US economy. Jensen Harris, CEO of Textio, explains how the company's AI powered software removes bias from performance reviews, job descriptions and other company communications. And Drive to the Close with George Young, Portfolio Manager at Villere Funds. 
Hosts: Tim Stenovec and Emily Graffeo. Producer: Paul Brennan.
