Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyMay 6th, 2025
Featuring:
1) Torsten Slok, Chief Economist at Apollo, joins for an extended discussion on tariffs, the outlook for the US economy, a potential recession in 2025, and this week's Fed meeting. Global stocks fell today due to concerns about the trade war's impact on companies and the world economy. Recent optimism fueled by US trade concessions is fading, and markets are bracing for an economic slowdown, with investors reducing exposure to the US and expecting fewer Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.
2) Jeffrey Rosenberg, Portfolio Manager: Systematic Multi-Strategy Fund at BlackRock, offers his outlook for the US economy, signals from the bond market, and long/short strategies as investors weigh how to play stocks and bonds. Investors are coming around to the view that the Fed won’t cut interest rates as early or as deeply as earlier anticipated. While it’s expected to leave interest rates on hold this week, money markets have pushed back the timing of the first reduction to July and see three cuts by year-end, rather than the four they had expected a week ago. 
3) Joe Mazzola, Head Trading and Derivatives Strategist at Charles Schwab, talks about client activity, where investors are playing risk in markets, and what concerns they're expressing amid growing economic uncertainty. While the spot VIX index has fallen to near where it was before stocks slumped on tariff fears in early April, the VIX futures curve is signaling concerns that the market turbulence may return.
4) Zohran Mamdani, NYC Mayoral Candidate and NYC assemblyman, discusses his candidacy for mayor, his proposed policies, and whether Democratic Socialists like him are a key piece of the future of the national Democratic platform. According to one Democrat - NY House Rep. Pat Ryan - Democrats must take more risks to counter the GOP power trifecta successfully or they could face an extended stint on the sidelines.
5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including reports on the fashion and fundraising from the Met Gala and a WSJ exclusive on the Trump administration holding schools responsible for students paying back their loans.
