Instant Reaction: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's News Conference
Bloomberg’s Tom Keene, Jon Ferro and Lisa Abramowicz discuss remarks from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh following the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance. Warsh insisted policymakers’ decision to leave interest rates unchanged wasn’t a sign of inertia at the central bank, which he reiterated is committed to tackling inflation. The Federal Open Market Committee voted 9-3 to hold the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 3.5% to 3.75%. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, Cleveland’s Beth Hammack and Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari dissented in favor of raising rates by a quarter percentage point. The fractured vote signaled growing conviction among some policymakers that higher rates are needed to curb resurgent price pressures. The committee’s post-meeting statement was otherwise identical to the one issued following their June meeting, with officials repeating their pledge to “deliver price stability.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast: 1) Iran fired on American forces overnight and the US and Saudi Arabia struck Tehran-backed militias in Iraq, abruptly ending a days-long lull in hostilities.The US and Iran had paused attacks at the end of last week to give diplomacy another chance, leading to a significant drop in energy prices. 2) Oil surged as a fresh round of fighting erupted across the Middle East, threatening further disruptions to energy flows and severely undermining diplomatic efforts to end the months-old conflict.Brent climbed almost 4% to above $87 a barrel, paring some of the 16% loss over the past three sessions that was its biggest such decline since 2020.

Trump Talks Up Iran Diplomacy; Chip Rout Deepens on China Competition
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) The US and Iran extended their pause in hostilities, with the focus turning to talks between Tehran and Oman over restarting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.Omani and Iranian negotiators met in Tehran over the weekend and discussions are ongoing, according to people familiar with the situation, asking not to be identified referring to sensitive matters. A deal to get ships moving through the waterway more frequently would enable the Islamic Republic and the US to resume formal negotiations about Tehran’s nuclear program and permanently ending their five-month war, the people said. 2) A selloff in semiconductor stocks deepened as signs of progress in China’s advanced chipmaking compounded worries about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence spending boom.US technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.6%, while in Asia, a 7.5% slump put a Bloomberg gauge of semiconductor shares on course for its biggest decline since April 2025. 3) Taiwanese prosecutors detained an Nvidia Corp. employee as part of a probe into the alleged smuggling of AI chips into China, thrusting the US company into a high-profile case concerning the black market for its products.Local investigators searched the home of the staffer and his desk at Nvidia’s Taipei office on July 24, according to people familiar with the matter. The courts later granted prosecutors’ request to detain the person on allegations of forgery and breach of trust, the people said, asking not to be named as the employee’s identity isn’t public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Considers "Massive" Iran Attack, Imposes New Tariffs
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: 1) President Trump said he’s considering a “massive attack” on Iran to push the nation to negotiate a peace deal. The president told Axios that Iran isn’t ready to make a deal and “they haven’t received enough pain yet,” and that he was “close to making a decision” on attacks that would be “bigger than ever before.” The US has launched strikes intended to degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in Hormuz, and Trump has threatened “major military punishment” on Iran and the Houthi militant group it backs in Yemen if they target commercial ships. 2) President Trump is rebuilding his tariff strategy with new levies on 60 economies. The US will collect duties of between 10% and 12.5% on imports from most major trading partners, following an investigation into the alleged failure of around 60 economies to prevent forced labor in their supply chains. Goods from some trading partners deemed to have adopted forced-labor restrictions will be subject to 10% tariffs, including Mexico, the UK, Canada and India, while duties on items from the European Union and Taiwan won’t exceed 10%. The rates under the new authority took effect Friday at 12:01 a.m. New York time, with certain exemptions, such as for products that can’t be produced in the US or where tariffs would cause economy-wide disruptions. 3) Intel delivered a revenue forecast that shattered Wall Street estimates, indicating that booming data center spending is helping fuel a long-awaited turnaround. Sales will be $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion in the third quarter, with the low end of that range easily clearing the $15.1 billion average analyst estimate. The outlook underscores Intel’s gains with data center customers, which are clamoring for chips to satisfy demand for artificial intelligence computing, with sales in that segment soaring 59% last quarter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
