job openings surging to over 10 million giving room for another rate hike by july. the u.s. debt ceiling negotiations are ongoing and the vote in the house happening in the next couple of hours. a lot of anxiety overall in the markets. treasury yields down, assessing the likely impact of the debt ceiling deal on future fed policy decisions as well, the dollar rose and that led to more pressure on crude prices which had been below the $70 a barrel value and the chinese value numbers did not help. although we got a little more optimism two federal reserve officials throwing concerned
6:03 pm
that there will be another hike in two weeks. are we expecting a pause in june? >> there is a new term, and it's called the skip. when you pause, the implication is we're stopping because maybe we have done enough. at least that seems to be how fed officials are treating that term. skip means you don't hike and you open the door to hiking again once you know what the debt are telling you. >> a decision to hold it constant at a coming meeting should not be interpreted to mean we have reached the peak rate for this cycle. indeed, skipping a rate hike at a coming meeting would allow the
6:04 pm
committee to see more data before making decisions about the extent of additional policy farming. kathleen: he did say inflation is too high but see some signs of august. particular core services are starting to decelerate, that gives some hope. patrick harker, similar remarks. that harper is the president of the federal reserve bank of philadelphia. same terminology. he is getting closer to saying we should skip, not because but skip. they don't want to slam on the brakes. job openings and labor turnovers are a big deal for the markets because they showed a search --
6:05 pm
surge in job openings. when you see it going up to template one million in the second quarter, people are saying maybe that will push the hand of fed officials who say we can't pause or skip. june bets are about 70%, in fact the odds of a pause had been about 60. this is been quite a swing. the president of the boston fed said inflation is too high. another governor said prices are studying and says it has implication for the fed to lower inflation. not ready to pause.

they have to go quickly, they will grow jump into electric,. paul: devin hayes there. -- kathleen hays. the bipartisan debt limit deal has cleared a major hurdle in the house. president biden was optimistic ahead of the voting. we going to do with the debt ceiling. things are going as planned. i will be landing in colorado tonight in preparation for my commencement speech tomorrow. thank you very much. shery: the next guest says to prevent economic catastrophe.
6:07 pm
thank you so much for your time today. this deal would restart federal student loan payments for some food assistance programs. what do you like about it? >> i like republicans were ready to head the economy to the side of the cliff and in exchange, they wanted to slash our budget with draconian cuts. they had serious rollbacks of budget for seniors, health care, children. we were able to avoid those cuts. we were able to make sure we have a continued health care
6:08 pm
funding for toxic exposed veterans. expand -- it's not the bill democrats would have written, but thankfully joe biden is an experienced negotiator and we will able to get to a place. shery: overall when it comes to the broader economy, economist at bloomberg are saying and has the potential to make the coming recession deeper and longer. we're talking about the fed tightening. bottom line is it increases the headwinds while doing almost nothing to resolve severe physical challenges. will this hurt president biden? >> on think so. -- i don't think so with the obstacle has been.
6:09 pm
democrats have them people over politics to make sure we had a clean increase to pay the bills, republicans and system untying cuts, including health care of veterans we promised to take care of. further cuts to student loans, health care and the security of our seniors. the contrast is going to be very clear. at the end of the day joe biden insured we would not crash our economy into a cliff. paul: there are still some big structural issues. the debt to gdp ratio keep rising. how long is it going to be before we see some responsible fiscal management? >> for starters, we can take the
6:10 pm
$1.9 trillion tax cuts incurred under the trump administration that republicans refused to go near. those were responsible tax cuts that skewed to the wealthiest americans and we can start by making sure people who have the money to pay more taxes actually do that when we can start traveling down that path. republicans want to take care of the wealthiest americans rather than food individuals. hopefully democrats shamed them into doing both and avoiding a budget catastrophe both in terms of not raising the debt ceiling. paul: vote in congress not too
6:11 pm
far away. >> let's largely up to republicans tonight. they captured the hostage. they should continue down we already saw a few years ago what happens if we even go near the debt ceiling. i don't think the senate is going to play with that, the timing is challenging but i think they will ultimately get it done. shery: is this a sign the compromise is possible in this divided environment or is it a
6:12 pm
runoff bath one-off -- one-off? >> the jury is still out on how we can work together. this is not the type of compromise we should engage in. republicans held the united states hostage. they were dangerous but the way they play games. make sure we pay the bills and go through the normal appropriations process. we are about to start the process now. they could have been unparalleled. we will see. he doesn't have a lot of votes.

6:21 pm
work for us? >> >> definitely. make no mistake about it, it's being driven by interest rates and what the central bankers are doing. by stomping on the brakes as hard, trying to droon. trying to slow the economies. their inpatient, they do not understand it takes a new months . that's how we are seeing the results we are seeing. they do not have to raise anymore, given a couple of months.
6:22 pm
they do not like the word because, they're calling it skip. they've done enough damage and they need to assess what happening. shery: i keep hearing about the rally being driven by just a few names. how concerning is this? >> the reason the breath is narrow they can only raise prices so much because these are staples. stop the incessant raising, giving a pause or skip for a few months in order to let the rest of the market readjust and catch up to where we needed to be.
6:23 pm
we do see commodity prices falling. we see supply chains better. for heaven sakes, leave them alone. you will see the breath of the market improving. having said that, i have been a bull on big tech. i think it will continue to do well. when we have the fear days, those are the days when the prices drop because we have something frightening happening. long-term, leaders stay leaders. that's the way the world is going. we're changing to a technology-driven society in every country around the world. shery: chinese assets have been disappointing after the reopening from covid zero and economic numbers are not living up to the hype. are you invested overseas? >> yes.
6:24 pm
i advised people to have a portion of the portfolio overseas. it tends to be a stronger percentage, perhaps 15%, 20%. with china, keep in mind it's a centrally controlled economy so if things are not working the way they want it to, i am sure the chinese will make adjustments. again, we need to be patient. we have to give them a few more months. there was a run-up in anticipation that they would burst out of the gate at the highest level and that's unrealistic. it was not like that on our side of the world. give it a few more months. let's see how the chinese market is doing in the fall. we will have a better sense. shery: always good to have you with us.

ill-timed and the swift passage has political undertones. global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i am vonnie quinn. this is bloomberg. shery: we are waiting for voting to begin on the u.s. debt ceiling deal. our next guest says the bipartisan agreement makes a story to federal spending driving inflation and he supports advancing to go through congress. republican congressman molinaro joins us now. thank you for your time. it has been a very interesting to see this growing divide within the republican party. how would you assess speaker mccarthy's leadership through this deal? and do you expect this to actually boost his standing among your colleagues? >> is important to remember that whether then by default or design americans elected a bipartisan government. republicans have a slim majority in one house and one branch.
6:33 pm
the fiscal responsibility act has garnered opposition on either end, but good government, republicans like myself armed if the speaker with the ability to negotiate with the president and deliver a deal that will combat inflation, drive down federal spending, bring about work and welfare reform along with economic development opportunities. this is a good win for america in moves the ball down the court for not only our agenda but holding washington responsible and respecting taxpayers. shery: fiscal responsibility, but at the same time our economists on bloomberg based on the assumptions that with a two year spending cap, the ratio of public jet -- debt to gdp would grow from 97% last year to 170% by 2023. almost nothing to resolve the severe physical challenges the u.s. faces. what would you say to this? >> a lot of it is in our
6:34 pm
control. we reduce the deficit with this bill, we slow spending. remember at the president proposed significant spending increases, significant tax increases, which would continue to accelerate inflation and drive-up american debt, and the house has within its capacity to control appropriations. the next step is to build on this success, holding washington, the federal government and congress accountable. paul: we have heard from a number of large investors as well, the blackrock ceo saying all of these debt ceiling dramas have weakened investor confidence and tell investors view the u.s.. someone called the deficits termites of the system. considering concessions extracted by republicans, was it really worth all of the drama of pushing the uso close to
6:35 pm
default? >> we have allowed for massive federal spending, which is driven massive inflation that hurts small businesses, large businesses, families and farms across this country, but the adoption of this fiscal responsibility act will help us get through the end of next year without having to redress the debt ceiling while at the same time internally and i think very importantly, congress will be able to restrict future spending. i do not want any more drama than anyone else in the american economy, but at the end of the day we have got to slow the rate of spending, we have to make reforms of the american economy. we have to help people get back to work and success and independence, and again, small majority, one house, one branch and a bipartisan government. this was a necessary exercise to hold washington accountable and demand washington it respects is taxpayers and those people creating wealth and economic opportunity across the country. paul: even the existence of the
6:36 pm
debt ceiling makes getting a deal done quite difficult, but the seeds of the next drama are sewn within this deal itself. as you mentioned, this avoids another debate until january 1, 2025. that is seven weeks after the next presidential election. what could possibly go wrong? >> let's get through the next presidential election. the house of representatives has within his capacity, we drove down federal spending for this year, we have a 1% growth cap. we have capacity through appropriations to make more advancements to restrict edible spending, to confront inflation, to provide real economic opportunity. let's allow the next president, next presidential election to creep up on us. this is one more important step in creating accountability. shery: the understanding is there is confidence by congressional leaders to get this done, but i do wonder how
6:37 pm
important is a margin of passage in the sense that will there be safety in numbers for republicans, and you need more votes to agree on this debt deal in order to go forward and actually progress in other agenda items as well? >> this gives us an opportunity to build. this is an opportunity for us to build on a foundation, but this is a bipartisan government that demanded a bipartisan agreement, and members like myself not only encouraged but we are of the speaker with the capacity to negotiate earnestly with the president a bipartisan solution. it will pass the house, and there will be a sufficient number of votes to continue to move the ball down the court so to speak so that we can build on the syntax -- success. republicans and bows are a broad spectrum of ideology, different regions, different grounds. you have folks on the farther left in for the right who oppose this particular agreement.
6:38 pm
the mess middle, where most people live and work every day, the mess middle supports a bipartisan agreement. from here we have set the stage for future compromise and future negotiations to move important legislation aboard and confront the challenges facing americans. shery: what have you heard from your colleagues in the senate? we have heard from other republicans that they might be using every tool available to delayed this bill? >> we have a deal, the president negotiated that deal on behalf of the democratic majority both with the senate and his own administration at stake. i expect this will pass the senate, and there will be people who do not see it exactly the way that we do. they will offer up objections, but just as this move to the house we expect it will move through the senate and the president will sign this into law. paul: republican congressman molinaro, thank you so much for

joining us on a busy day in washington. the j.p. morgan chase ceo is optimistic about the westech deal. he exclusively told us the fed may raise rates a little bit more. >> in america, the financial system in america and the economy of america is the largest economy in the world is ever seen, the most innovative, the most growing, and the rest of the world relies on it, so we should not create any instability there. i wish one day we would get rid of the debt ceiling thing, but i understand it is a democracy, people have different opinions about what we should be doing and it is 1201 party to get the other party to the table. i am quite optimistic there and i applaud the fact that they sat down and got something done. >> what is your read on inflation on whether the fed will go beyond the pause and hike again? >> my simple view is that they are right to posit this point.
6:40 pm
there has been a big increase, 500 basis points or so. take a pause, but i think it is possible they will have to raise a little more. inflation is sticky, which means rates may have to go up a little more. people should be prepared for that. this is a manager of manager of business -- this is a matter of manager own business. the other thing i would be prepared for is the volatility that might be created by quantitative tightening. we have never had quantitative easing, which we have had for the better part of 15 years, and now you will see quantitative tightening and i think the effects will be hard for them expect. hopefully we will get through all of that, and it will be ok. shery: the jp morgan ceo is speaking to us exclusively from the bank's global china summit in shanghai. we have more exclusive conversations coming up as the summit continues including the bank's chief asian equity strategist.

fed there and their views on the future hiking path. let's stick with the outlook for rates and bring in annabelle. blackrock says the fed would have a ways to go. annabelle: that is what we have been hearing from the ceo who has been speaking at a conference. the big take away from his speech are the views he shared around the help of the u.s. economy, because he says it could manage to avoid a recession even if it does see a contraction. it is likely to be modest. the flip of that is he also sees as pressure staying elevated for some time. cpi in the range of 4% to 5% because of the lingering effects of the u.s. government stimulus program, he also shared when he sees is this having an effect on the fed. >> i think inflation is too strong, too sticky, and the fed is not finished. i think they have 2 to 4 more
