    Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey Talks UK Labor, Interest Rates

    Speaking to Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua following the Bank of England’s decision to hold interest rates, Governor Andrew Bailey highlighted how geopolitical unpredictability and volatile oil prices pose ongoing upside risks to inflation, even as domestic price metrics temporarily eased. He noted a cooling "low-hire, low-fire" UK labor market, driven by broader economic softening rather than early-stage AI adoption, where reduced turnover is driving up youth unemployment and creating hurdles for job seekers.

    Louisiana Senator John Kennedy Talks Impact of Iran Pressure Campaign

    Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) says maintaining sanctions and a blockade on Iran will be "painful" for Americans ahead of the midterms, but argues that sustaining the pressure for several more months may be the most effective way to move Tehran. The Louisiana Republican calls inflation "pernicious" and says the Federal Reserve will have to raise rates if it is not brought under control. Sen. Kennedy also says that, "if I had to bet," the Senate Judiciary Committee will not vote on Todd Blanche's nomination for attorney general tomorrow. He talks to Bloomberg's Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    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.
