john williams, president of the new york said, speaking today, echoing something he told me last week in an interview. there is no strong argument to make a move in either direction. we think that will be temporary. it will pick up growth in the second half. the fed minutes talked about that. the transitory nature of this drop in inflation. so far below the 2% target. world interest-rate projections are work page. by the end of the year, the odds are more than 70%. that is the best in the market. the chance i should say of a fed rate cut are there and they linger even though it seems to view, and's inflation other commentators this afternoon, it shows there is not a big sense, no desire, to move fast ahead with the rate cuts. certainly not in these minutes or what we have heard from fed officials including jay powell when he spoke at that press conference after the may 1 meeting, which is where the minutes come from. patience, pause, persistence. we have seen an impact on the fed from that? kathleen: the latest fierce escalation had not yet occurred at that meeting. subsequently, said

best thing to do is to keep focused on the economic -- tom: the arch theme of our iserview with john williamse. what is the state of american business confidence after you visited california? jim: businesses understand the volatility and understand what the issues are about with this trade issue. they are seeing new markets across asia where economies have grown 6% to 7%. they understand what the future looks like with those opportunities, so they are nervous with trade tensions but optimistic about the fundamental backdrop of the u.s. economy and the outlook for global economies. francine: shut the markets be more pessimistic about the outlook? andrew: from a market perspective, you have these three overlapping problems. a tariff and trade issue that is not going away and does not seem closer to resolution. in the background, a number of signs the market is increasingly worried about the state of the u.s. cycle and increasing pricing, increasing the odds of a recession down the road if we look at the inverted yield curve. third, some of this tension around the fed whereby a number of measure

fed president john williams had this to say about the rate cuts. >> we have inflation a little below our goal. our view is to basically be right where we are. and i don't see any strong arguments today, based on what we have seen in the data or other information, to argue to move interest rates one way or the other. francine: joining us this morning to talk about trade and the fed, head of u.s. equities and thebia threadneedle global multi-asset strategist at jpmorgan. let me start off with you. when you look at trade concerns, are they going to be on hold for much longer? say the traded concerns at some downside risk to the growth outlook. particularly, even take this personally, but also to inflation. came out,utes documented for a meeting that happened before escalation, and it was natural they were talking about some upside risk. that, after what we have seen over the last few weeks, that becomes more balanced. in terms of what the markets are pricing, i think that divergence between the fed saying we are patiently in positive carry, versus what is priced in, the thing fixed inco

tom: from john williams and seven other people last week, we heard about confidence.fidence has taken a hit. tom: consumer confidence. what about business confidence? troy: it was at record highs but has taken a hit. it is still at elevated levels. the tight labor market forces investment to increase productivity, and that there will be terminal demand for the products. when you are messing with inventory chains and production chains globally, and putting on tariffs, you will naturally lower business investment. tom: the white part is pre-escalation, orange is the overlay, and the blue part is if we get a correction, what it does to equity prices. 4/10knocks 3/10 of 1% to of 1% of gdp. it is an ugly 2001. from the away cocktails, looking at gdp and you mix trade in, we spoke to a big investor that was saying the fact that we look day in and day out at what the trade war does to inflation, central banks, and your metrics, is wrong. if there is a full-blown trade ,ar that last five to 10 years we will go into deep depression and we underestimate the impact this could ha

sir john williams of the new york fed said it is a little bit to do with business confidence. the united kingdom now? howard: it is not great. description of the impasse is accurate, and that is what i hear around town. people can follow the logic of a leadership election and trying to renegotiate with a brexiteer, and then they get stuck on the dilemma you suggested, how do we get out of that? what is going on in business confidence is at the moment, the consumer is still reasonably confident and seems to be spending, but business investment remains extremely weak. that unfortunately persists. the consequences of that and the long run are not good. if you have a pause in investments, that is an unhappy situation. everyone is holding their breath. there is no sense of real panic because business people can understand the dynamic. moment, they cannot see the way out because normally end the situation you described you would have an election, but what will that deliver you? we cannot see that. francine: what does this political turmoil mean for your business? howard: we look at
