Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene & Paul SweeneyMay 22nd, 2025
Featuring:
1) Stephanie Roth, Chief Economist at Wolfe Research, joins to discuss upside surprises in tariffs and inflation and how the reconciliation bill could lift 10-year yields. US bonds and stocks steadied after a volatile day, with investors focusing on talks over President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill and private-sector data offering insight on the economy.
2) Russ Brownback, Head of Global Macro Positioning for Fixed Income at BlackRock, joins for an extended discussion on Treasury Yield warnings and what yesterday's lackluster auction means for markets. The worry in debt markets is that the tax bill would add trillions of dollars to an already bulging deficit at a time when investors’ appetite is US assets is waning.
3) Terry Haines, founder at Pangaea Policy, reacts to the tax bill vote. House Republican leaders released a revised version of President Trump's tax and spending bill, which includes a higher limit on the deduction for state and local taxes and other changes to win over GOP factions.
4) Mark Douglas, CEO at MNTN, talks about going public today and raising funds at the top of the marketed range. Ryan Reynolds’ Ad Firm MNTN, Holders Raise $187 Million in IPO as the company has a market value of about $1.24 billion and a fully diluted value of about $1.6 billion, with Founder and CEO Mark Douglas set to have 26% of the voting power after the offering.
5) Lisa Mateo joins with the latest headlines in newspapers across the US, including an NYT story on anxiety-inducing wearables and a WSJ story on negotiating a best and final job offer.
