products being impacted by month santos. grief r t correspondent sarah when one says the joins us all this and much more but first let's get to a few stories topping today's financial and business headlines saudi arabia is leading a report today as a saudi for sovereign wealth fund is reportedly seeking eleven billion bucks in bank loans in the second big story from saudi this week after oil giant saudi aramco one of the largest and most profitable companies on the planet either canceled or postponed plans for the hotly anticipated initial public offering reuters reported the i.p.o. had been abandoned but then the saudi energy minister insisted it will quote happen at an appropriate time now the saudis and de facto leader crown prince mohammed bin solomon or m.b.a.'s are turning to international lenders to provide the capital that was expected to come from that i.p.o.
1:50 am
those funds in turn will stand simply finance m.b.a.'s as so-called vision twenty thirty project to reform and diversify saudi arabia the economy and address the nation's overwhelming dependence upon oil and as a programming note we'll have more next. i'm on the aramco i.p.o. and oil prices. and heading down under now to update a situation we touched on earlier this week australian prime minister malcolm turnbull has been deposed opposed by rivals within his own party that comes in the wake of a bruising battle on climate and energy policy that reported the pm abandon efforts on those policies monday under pressure from his right flank on wednesday he abandoned a tax cut bill after a defeat in the australian senate he seemed to be tossing things overboard an effort to stay politically afloat mr turnbull then lost a vote on within his leadership party to be conservative to conservative rival scott morrison who had been serving as treasurer mr morrison is australia's six
1:51 am
prime minister in eleven years mr tarbell incidentally also became prime minister by yet this deep posing a party leader speaking to reporters mr turbot was indignant. if you decide you know the strains will be just dumbstruck and so pulled by the conduct of the last week. you know two to imagine that a government would be rocked by this sort of dysmorphia altie and deliberate. insurgency is the best buy to describe it deliberate destructive action. at a time when you know the debt there are differences on policy but frankly all of them are. sort of result you know i will to be resolved with a little bit of good will. politics as they say is a full contact sport. and turning from politics to economics australian policy

1:53 am
in a speech today at the jackson hole symposium that we noted felt a reserve chairman jay powell laid out what seems to be many as solid and sanguine outlook for the future the chairman said he sees little if any risk of an overheating economy and he expects a strong us economic progress to continue he also said while there is no clear signal inflation is accelerating beyond what the fed targets they will do whatever it takes to address and should it become problematic here discusses the always oppressive and thought provoking c.e.o. of quill intelligence daniel de martino both who joins us from dan dallas daniel welcome what's your overall take on the speech. you know i think the speech it was very much jay powell esque he was painfully balanced in his remarks and he brought up a lot of good points though that i think many have not touched on. the markets obviously
1:54 am
closed near their highs of the session based on the what you just mentioned that there were there was no risk of the economy overheating at the moment but bart i was really intrigued with what he had to say in his speech about inflation not necessarily being what should guide monetary policy makers given that the last two recessions have been not preceded by inflation overheating but rather by the financial markets overheating so it's a nuance statement that he put in there but it was very critical from the perspective of people who follow the markets as we do and you can help me understand something because i use a phrase that i've heard before but it's really being used in the wake of the speech and that phrase is a neutral setting that rates are at a neutral setting and and people are suggesting maybe that setting is you know two point five or three percent but what constitutes
1:55 am
a neutral setting danielle and and are those the correct rates for such a neutral setting. well neutral really just means the rate of the federal funds rate the overnight lending rate that will not cause the it's the goldilocks rate that the economy will not overheat nor will the economy slow at this particular neutral rate the economy can just hum along it's a very idealistic notion it is the ultimate target of all central bankers worldwide for them to find that perfect not too hot not too cold rate palettes of what they stated that he would prefer that that neutral rate be closer to three percent which implies at least another four more rate hikes in the current tightening cycle clearly some of the more devilish people on the federal open market committee and others that would prefer interest rates to stay low or would rather that neutral rate be a lot closer to two percent and president trump is made it pretty clear that he thinks rates should stay low but you know that comes from his perspective right the
1:56 am
president comes from a real estate and business and so of course he likes lower rates we'd all like to buy things that cheaper rates but what are the reasons the monetary policy reasons danielle not to raise rates. well there are reasons not to raise rates if you if you fear that the economy is slowing and powell brought that out in his speech today that and naturally that came out in the minutes from the federal open market committee that were released on wednesday as well that there are several threats to the economy that could indeed put the fed on hold make them pull back from the tightening cycle perhaps go in september but but pause it in december and maybe not go again until january until they have a little more clarity but we know that residential housing for example has has begun to slow down they boycott concerns about that in the minutes and then there's always the possibility that the trade war continues to escalate and that of course will will continue to slow the economy to slow corporate profit growth as well
1:57 am
we'll get a better picture into that next wednesday with the second release of the second quarter g.d.p. which will give us our first look at what profits are according to the to government statistics great we look forward to that and when the chairman testified before congress last month danielle he was pretty diplomatic and political if you will answering questions about the potential impact of the the trade wars on our economy but but doesn't that issue have to be front and center what the fed governors are looking to going forward i mean i recall it was mentioned a little bit in the minutes from the meeting but isn't a trade war an obvious thing that that could put the brakes on the growing economy . well i think that because a trade war and he could nomic speak translates into higher inflation then of course the fed to be irresponsible and derelict in its duties if it was not discussed in the trade war and again that that's that's why the subjects came up in
1:58 am
in the minutes that were released earlier this week by every right they should be talking about the potential for the trade war to bleed into rising prices and that's exactly where their focus is and that's exactly where their focus should be part danielle you're always so insightful for us help explain things that a base level and then take us even deeper we sure appreciate it the c.e.o. of quill intelligence daniel de martino booth's thanks danielle thank you have a great weekend. it's been a week of trade talks on tariffs and the potential economic impact of those tariffs and the efforts to strike a new deal with mexico for the latest on mexico canada nafta the north american free trade agreement and the ongoing trade tensions with china we are joined by our tease alex mileage from toronto alex thanks for being with us let's start with nafta perhaps or maybe it's better to talk about the bilateral mexico u.s. trade deal of might that might be more appropriate what's going on. well we were
1:59 am
hoping to see a trade deal this week actually between mexico and the states that doesn't look like it's going to happen now the sticking point really is automotive looks like these talks are going to be pushed into next week and i think all three parties including canada are hoping to see some results from these talks simply because we've heard from mexico saying that we need to get this phase done so that can take either candidate can be included in the talks once again we know that president trump has played a tricky game with the with canada mexico of first at the very beginning of the nafta talks kind of pushing mexico aside and now he's pushing canada aside and dealing directly with the mexicans but as i mentioned all three parties are hoping that this is going to move forward at least the mexicans and canadians are and by the way it looks things are pretty positive right now but these nafta talks you never know until somebody signs that dotted line absolutely and in addition to the mexican negotiators there's been a chinese delegation here in washington and they're currently however seems to be
2:00 am
no end in sight to the tip for tat trade war what's the goal of the administration here just to draw this thing out or they really want to get something done you know we've been talking about this forever it seems like in the whole fact of the matter is i i was wrong in the beginning i honestly thought the dump truck was going to play the short game and just basically you know come in and really hard line and that somehow he was going to push china into a position where or that he even talked to president g. and that they had some sort of resolution after this you know tough guy image was allowed to show itself the world but it doesn't seem that way and actually things are going to be drawn out by the looks of things because nothing was accomplished at these talks we're looking now next month that we saw a tit for tat now at sixteen billion dollars worth of tariffs thrown in by the states and of course china doing what it does is that same amount back and now we're looking at another two hundred billion in tariffs possibly next month from the u.s. side of course we'll see.
