2) Los Angeles spends another night under curfew as protests spread to more cities. Protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles have spread to other US cities, including New York, Chicago, and Milwaukee, with clashes between protesters and law enforcement. The federal government has expanded its show of force, deploying National Guard troops and authorizing the use of the Hobbs Act to take over criminal cases, which California officials have criticized as "unlawful, unconstitutional and undemocratic".
3) President Trump says he will set unilateral tariffs on countries in 2 weeks. The president plans to send letters to trading partners in the next one to two weeks setting unilateral tariff rates ahead of a July 9 deadline. President Trump has threatened to impose higher duties on dozens of economies, but has only reached a trade framework with the UK and a tariff truce with China, which was recently threatened.

And as police try to keep the peace, the federal government is expanding its show of force. The National Guard is assisting US Immigration and Customs enforcement with immigration arrests, and Attorney General Pam Bondi says the administration is invoking the Hobbs Act to let federal prosecutors take over local criminal cases.

That move comes ahead of a July ninth deadline to reimpose higher duties on dozens of economies once the current ninety day pause expires. President Trump spoke to reporters yesterday.

The Salt Caucus, which we have here in the House and they don't have in the Senate for obvious reasons, they've been pretty dug in. And I'm not here to say they're right. I'm not here to s they're wrong, but they've been pretty dug in, and that was one of our biggest issues in the House that just can't be touched.

Lisa Oil is retreating this morning, following yesterday's nearly five percent gain that came after the US government ordered a partial evacuation of its embassy. In Your Rock amid rising security risks, we get more from Bloomberg News Energy reporter Anthony Depowa.
If we look at that picture, it's really that risk of something happening in terms of the Middle East and in terms of an outbreak of potential violence in the Middle East between the US and Iran, between Israel and Iran. That's really the risk that is pushing prices higher.
But s Bloomberg Energy reporter Anthony Depella, and this morning, the State Department is limiting travel for US embassy staff in Israel, citing regional tensions. The Middle East produces about a third of the world's oil.
Well.
Turning to the economy now Nathan, A day after underlying inflation rose by less than forecast for the fourth month in a row, we get another key reading this morning at eight thirty am Wall Street time, we get the main reading for producer prices. Bloomberg's Michael McKee has a preview.
Economists fooled by the benign rise in consumer prices, We'll again look for tariff induced inflation in today's data on what companies are charging for goods and services. Once again, the expectation is for a rise in prices in both the headline and core PPI easier to do in this report because both declined in April. While price increases haven't flowed into retail price tags. Many companies have reported passing some or all of the tariffs onto their customers, particularly manufacturers, While another downside surprise would chair markets. The real impact will come when economists break down changes in individual categories to forecast the Fed's primary inflation indicator, the PCE index, out at the end of the month.

Good Morning Lisa. Protests are growing across the country over the Trump administration's immigration raids and the federal troop response to protests in Los Angeles. The NYPD arrested several people last night in Lower Manhattan. These two protesters were in New York's Foley Square.
I think success is stopping as many people from being unlawfully taken from their families. Successes seeing people treated like human beings, people putting due process back in place right and actually respondowing our law institution.
However, Wednesday was much calmer than Tuesday night, when dozens were arrested.

Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager, following developing news out of western India where an Air India flight carrying two hundred and forty two passengers and crew has crashed near Mdabad in the western state of Gujarat. Joining US now for the very latest is Bloomberg News Aviation reporter Danny Lee. And Danny obviously this is a fast developing story. What is the latest that we know so far?
Good morning, Yeah, Nathan, Good morning. So this is a breaking news development. So it's Neir India Boeing Co seven eighty seven Dreamliner which crashed shortly off takeoff from a Midabad and it was heading to London's Gatwick Airports, so it was taking off around roughly half past one local time in the afternoon. And there's been various video circulated on social media, including one of the plane flying at low altitude and heading into the ground and then smoke and the fire billowing from that. So we have seen though the markets react quite swiftly and the shares pre market shares in bowing down five and a half percent on this news. For investors, when you look at Boeing, it's clearly too early to tell what has happened, what will be the cause of this crash, but at least for the moment, there will be a lot of reaction. And we have some reaction from Indian officials commenting on the crash, saying they are shocked and devastated about the accident. We have India confirming that there was an accident that had taken place today, but they don't have any further details at the moment. But of course, for the flight involved, it was carrying two hundred and forty two passengers and crew according to some local media reports.
Yeah, certainly we could go into the struggles that Boeing has been trying to get out from under ever since the door plug blowout situation more than a year ago and the change under new CEO Kelly Ordberg. But before we get to all that, Danny, do we know anything in terms of the conditions on the ground, anything that could tell us what might have caused this crash?
It's very hard to tell what could be the kind of contributing factors. I mean, whether it be weather, where it be any mechanical issues with the plane. You know what we can say this plane was around eleven years old, so it's not too new, not too old. It's somewhere in the middle basically. But you know it's for the Boeing seventy seven aircraft. It would mark the first whole loss in the entire time it has entered service, which is now many many years.
Is what do we know about the condition of the fleet of air India's Boeing lineup? Is it an aging fleet? Is it relatively new?
Well for India, it has been going through an extensive overhaul of its fleet. You know, exist it's existing fleet right now is aging. Let's not to say that they don't keep their planes in good condition. Already, but they are investing a lot of money buying a lot of new Boeing and Airbus aircraft in order to overhaul its fleet and also to expand. So under new ownership coming in being privatized from coming from state ownership under the Tartar Group, it has undergone a huge amount of investment and it's just time it takes to get those planes. New planes are particularly delivered, but it has been working through that process, and a multi year process at that, and as.
We continue to monitor the situation, we're getting further confirmations from more sources about the fact that this has happened. We just saw a post on X from London's Gatwick Airport, which is the destination of Air India flight one P seventy one, confirming on its end that that plane was due to land at London Gatwick later on this evening local time, So further confirmation that at least that flight was at the center of this. Danny, of course, I know your background is in aviation, but it can't be ignored that this is coming just a couple of weeks after pretty heightened tensions between India and Pakistan as well. Obviously we're really at a very early stage in terms of trying to figure out the cause of this, whether it was something mechanical or something more nefarious, But that could enter into the conversation as well as we start to gather more details and facts on the ground.
Yeah, I think the authorities will be looking at a whole wide range of information at this stage. No one would be in a position to rule out anything until particularly they start to locate and recover the so called black boxes. These are the information flight data recorded copric voice recorder that would give all the necessary clues to understand what happened to this aircraft. But yes, as you alluded to, there has been heightened state of tensions in recent weeks between India and Pakistan, although of late they have tensions have calmed down, particularly as US President Donald Trump has intervened and there has been a cessation of hostilities in particular.
