Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. Good morning, I'm Nathan
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're
Speaker 1: following today.
Speaker 2: Karen will have more on markets in a moment, but first,
Speaker 2: a global diplomatic effort is underway to try to avoid
Speaker 2: a full blown regional war in the Middle East. Iran
Speaker 2: fired more than three hundred drones and missiles at Israel
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Almost all of them were intercepted before
Speaker 2: they reached Israeli airspace. We get more from Israel Bureau
Speaker 2: Chief Ethan Brunner in Tel Aviv.
Speaker 3: The fact that there was not any death here. There
Speaker 3: was a seven year old girl who's fighting for her
Speaker 3: life who was hit by shrapnel, but other than that,
Speaker 3: no casualties and no genuine damage to its military facilities
Speaker 3: that were attacked. That has given Israel as a sense
Speaker 3: of accomplishment and relief and not a need for insight responding.
Speaker 3: And then those other factors were playing a role, which
Speaker 3: is there's some fatigue and there's some desire to not
Speaker 3: alienate the United States.
Speaker 1: Israeli Bureau chief even Brauner reporting from Tel Aviv. Israel's
Speaker 1: President Isaac Herzog says his country is still considering its response,
Speaker 1: but there will be one.
Speaker 4: This is a declaration of what not. Because we are restrained,
Speaker 4: and because we know the repercussions, and because we have
Speaker 4: deliberations with our partners, we are considering all options.
Speaker 5: We are not all sicker.
Speaker 1: And Herzog's comments came as to run so hot to
Speaker 1: draw a line under the attack, which it says was
Speaker 1: retaliation for the strike on its diplomatic compound in Damascus
Speaker 1: earlier this month. Well. At an emergency meeting of the
Speaker 1: United Nations Security Council, EAN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called
Speaker 1: on all sides to de escalate tensions.
Speaker 6: Middle East is on the brink. The people of the
Speaker 6: region are confronting the real dangers of a devastating, full
Speaker 6: scale conflict. Soh is the time to the fuse and
Speaker 6: the escalate. Now is the time for maximum restraints.
Speaker 1: Gou Terras's call was echoed by G seven leaders in
Speaker 1: a statement they condemn what they described as the rounds
Speaker 1: directed unprecedented attack against Israel and said they will now
Speaker 1: work to stabilize the situation and avoid further escalation.
Speaker 2: And that message of the escalations being echoed by the
Speaker 2: White House Karen. National Security spokesman John Kirby made the
Speaker 2: rounds on the Sunday political shows to send that message.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 5: He is on ABC's This Week.
Speaker 8: Aron responded in an unprecedented way. Israel defended in a
Speaker 8: truly unprecedented, remarkable way. We don't want to see this
Speaker 8: situation escalate further.
Speaker 2: But House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner says the White House
Speaker 2: needs to recognize the conflict as already escalating.
Speaker 5: He was on NBC's Meet the Press.
Speaker 9: If this administration fails to step up to the plate
Speaker 9: and understand that we have an escalating conflict and make
Speaker 9: it clear Toy that there are red lines and that
Speaker 9: the United States will defend Israel and will not allow
Speaker 9: Iran to become a weapon state, that we will be
Speaker 9: in a broader conflict and we will have less options.
Speaker 2: I Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson's promising a vote on
Speaker 2: aid to Israel this week. He's indicating funds for Ukraine
Speaker 2: could be part of the package. How's Foreign Affairs Chair
Speaker 2: Michael McCall tell CBS has face the Nation Ukraine needs
Speaker 2: to be included.
Speaker 10: What I need to educate my colleagues, they're all tied together.
Speaker 10: I mean, Iran is selling this stuff to Russia. Guess
Speaker 10: who's buying Iran's energy China. And you know why, because
Speaker 10: we lifted or waived the sanctions that we had this
Speaker 10: administration on the drones and the missiles and on the energy.
Speaker 2: And you can hear face the nation, meet the press,
Speaker 2: and this week every Sunday on Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 1: Well Nathan Oil is shrugging off Iron's unprecedented attack on Israel.
Speaker 1: In fact, prices are lower on speculation than the conflict
Speaker 1: would remain contained. And we get more from Bloombergy Saudi
Speaker 1: Bureau chief Christine Berg.
Speaker 11: There is a sense out there that the conflicts will
Speaker 11: remain a bit contained, just given the Iran strike on
Speaker 11: Israel did not inflict massive damage. But that does not
Speaker 11: mean that we are in the clear by enemies. Eny
Speaker 11: means this is still a pretty dangerous situation. Even so,
Speaker 11: this sense that things may not immediately worsen seems to
Speaker 11: be what's driving markets this morning. And I think when
Speaker 11: it comes to crude in particular, we have to remember
Speaker 11: that there was a bit of a war risk premium
Speaker 11: that was baked enterprises heading into the weekend.
Speaker 1: And Bloomberg Sony Bureau chief Christine Burg says the region
Speaker 1: produces about US third in the world's crude and checking
Speaker 1: oil Right now nine exscrewede oils down one point one
Speaker 1: percent and eighty four dollars sixty eight cents a barrel,
Speaker 1: while Brent is it eighty nine dollars fifty three cents well.
Speaker 2: Karen Let's shift gears now in turn two, the criminal
Speaker 2: case involving Donald Trump that gets underway today, and Bloomberg's
Speaker 2: Kaylee Lines is covering it for us.
Speaker 12: In New York, Donald Trump's historic New York criminal trial
Speaker 12: begins today, the first ever for a former US president.
Speaker 12: He's charged by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg with thirty
Speaker 12: four felony counts of falsifying business records allegedly concealing hush
Speaker 12: money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the
Speaker 12: twenty six exteen election. Trump will be legally required to
Speaker 12: attend as a criminal defendant, despite his ongoing presidential campaign.
Speaker 12: He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Speaker 12: The proceedings today begin with jury selection, which could last
Speaker 12: up to two weeks. The trial in total could last
Speaker 12: up to eight in New York. Kayley lines Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 12: All Right, Kayley, thanks well. Turning to Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Bank earnings continue this morning with Goldman Sachs reporting Fellow
Speaker 1: Friday's results from JP Morgan Chase City Group in Wells Fargo.
Speaker 1: Ellison Williams is a senior analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence.
Speaker 13: We're expecting to see a cleaner result than that which
Speaker 13: we've seen over the past few quarters. We expect trading
Speaker 13: and fees to remain relatively resilient for the bank, and
Speaker 13: we did get solid results for fixed income and equities trading,
Speaker 13: a little bit better on the equities trading side from
Speaker 13: JP Morgan and City Group last week. We also are
Speaker 13: expecting to see good growth in banking fees. However, M
Speaker 13: and A is the week spot and Goldman is a
Speaker 13: leader in that business.
Speaker 1: In Bloomberg Intelligence, Ellison Williams says, look for Goldman earnings
Speaker 1: at seven thirty am a wull Street time.
Speaker 2: And look for runners to reach the starting line in
Speaker 2: Boston this morning Karen for the one hundred and twenty eighth
Speaker 2: running of the Boston Marathon, a full scale return to
Speaker 2: the Patriot State tradition, the event shifted to a virtual
Speaker 2: format and limited attendance during the COVID era. Get details
Speaker 2: from Bloomberg Boston Bureau chief Brook Sutherland.
Speaker 7: The Boston Marathon is one of the world's oldest, dating
Speaker 7: all the way back to the late eighteen nineties, but
Speaker 7: more than thirty thousand runners and their fans will be
Speaker 7: back in full force this year. The Chamber of Commerce
Speaker 7: is expecting a two hundred million dollar economic impact from
Speaker 7: the marathon, comparable to a Super Bowl. Hotel rooms are
Speaker 7: in short supply and restaurants are booking up. Many of
Speaker 7: the participants are also running to raise money for charities.
Speaker 7: Bank of America is now the race's primary sponsor, succeeding
Speaker 7: John Hancock in Boston. I'm Brook Sutherland for Bloomberg News.
Speaker 2: Okay, Brook, thank you, and the Boston Athletic Association is
Speaker 2: organizing the race, which you'll see competitors by for the

Speaker 14: wide ranging questions today. Let's find out more about that
Speaker 14: angle of the story from Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.
Speaker 15: New York Supreme Court Justice Jan Merchant is describing the
Speaker 15: jury questionnaire as broad and exhaustive. It consists of forty
Speaker 15: two numbered questions, many of which contain multiple sub questions,
Speaker 15: and this includes whether they ever attended a rally or
Speaker 15: campaign event for Trump, whether they're a supporter or member
Speaker 15: of the QAnon movement, the Proud Boys are other similar groups,
Speaker 15: and where they get their news from. Notably, though, they
Speaker 15: will not be asked if they like Trump, a question
Speaker 15: that the judge says is irrelevant because it does not
Speaker 15: go to the issue of the prospective jurors qualifications. Denise
Speaker 15: Pelgreney Bloomberg Radio.

Speaker 5: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.
Speaker 2: The world is racing to avert a wider conflict in
Speaker 2: the Middle East following Iron's unprecedented weekend at ten on
Speaker 2: Israel from its own soil, involving hundreds of drones and missiles,
Speaker 2: nearly all of which were shot down by Israel and
Speaker 2: its allies. Joining us from Tel Aviv this morning is
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Israel, Economy and government reporter Galite Alstein Ghalie, Good morning,
Speaker 2: Good morning. So the market appears to be seeing a
Speaker 2: sense of calm here this morning after the weekend attack.
Speaker 2: Is that being reflected by what you're seeing in Israel
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 19: Yes. I think that the bottom line is that so
Speaker 19: far we've seen no response from Israel to Iran's attack
Speaker 19: that you mentioned, and we've also heard no public comment
Speaker 19: that gives us any sense that there is going to
Speaker 19: be a response. We've also not been hearing that there
Speaker 19: won't be a response, but we haven't been hearing any
Speaker 19: explicit comments from the people who are in charge of
Speaker 19: making these decisions in Israel. So so far, everything seems
Speaker 19: pretty quiet. Beyond that, I would say that Israel is
Speaker 19: having a big dilemma deciding on how to how to
Speaker 19: respond to this unprecedented attacked by Iran on Israel from
Speaker 19: Iranian soil. This is a first, of course, and Israel
Speaker 19: is keeping the cards close to its just in a sense.
Speaker 19: We know that there is a very narrow form of
Speaker 19: five of five member war Cabinet that is led by
Speaker 19: Prime Minister Benjamin Etanio that was authorized to determine what
Speaker 19: the response will be, and they met yesterday for several
Speaker 19: hours to discuss this. We're not aware that the final
Speaker 19: decision was made at this stain, but it is evident
Speaker 19: that Israel is taking the time to carefully weigh the dilemmas.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: We did hear from Israeli military spokesperson Peter Lerner on
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Radio this morning saying that the Israeli army has
Speaker 2: presented the government with possible responses to the attack. Do
Speaker 2: we have an idea of what the options are that
Speaker 2: the war Cabinet could be considering.
Speaker 19: Well, you know, we haven't been hearing anything public on this.
Speaker 19: I would say that, you know, Israel has a wide
Speaker 19: array of things that it can do militarily if it
Speaker 19: decides to from the air, also possibly you know, possible
Speaker 19: cyber attacks perhaps and so forth. But I think that
Speaker 19: maybe an important point to make is that regardless and
Speaker 19: with respect to the options that the military has presented
Speaker 19: to the to the cabinet and to the war cabinet
Speaker 19: that I mentioned just now, there's a lot of diplomatic
Speaker 19: pressure on Israel to refrain from responding at all, but
Speaker 19: by the United States first and foremost. But we also
Speaker 19: know that this is the message that came out of
Speaker 19: the G seven talk yesterday, so and I think it's
Speaker 19: it's worthwhile loading because Israel maybe reports here say that
Speaker 19: one of the plans that has been put on the table,
Speaker 19: apart from the military plans that you mentioned, is perhaps
Speaker 19: the idea of maintaining the coalition that we saw help
Speaker 19: defend Israel, headed by the by the US, but also
Speaker 19: with some European countries and some region countries in the region.
Speaker 19: So perhaps if that coalition can be maintained, at least
Speaker 19: in part to advance a diplomatic move that will lead
Speaker 19: eventually to impose further economic sanctions on Iran aiming to
Speaker 19: toward or slow down its nuclear program. That is something
Speaker 19: that Israel would probably like very much. And if there
Speaker 19: are talks on that and if some some of that
Speaker 19: can be achieved, I think that to some extent that
Speaker 19: could influence what Israel does in the military aspect, in aspect,
Speaker 19: in response to ourlant Affeck, this.
