Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Emily Graffeo

Today’s Podcast Features are:      

Jennifer Rie, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Litigation Analyst, and
Justin Teresi, Bloomberg Intelligence Antitrust Litigation & Policy Analyst, discusses a federal judge finding Google guilty of illegally monopolizing online advertising technology markets for advertising exchanges and ad servers. The judge ruled that Google did not meet the definition of a monopoly for tools used by advertisers to buy display ads.

Glen Losev, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Equity Analyst, discusses UnitedHealth Group cutting its annual forecast and reporting its first earnings miss in more than a decade, in a foreboding sign that sent shares across the insurance industry tumbling. The company said it was blindsided by rising medical costs as the first quarter closed, upending a forecast it had affirmed just three months ago.

Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist, discusses recent comments from Fed Chair Jay Powell in Chicago. Today, President Donald Trump said Powell’s termination from his position can’t come quickly enough, arguing that the US central bank should have lowered interest rates already this year, and in any case should do so now.

Huw Worthington, Bloomberg Intelligence European Rates Strategist, discusses today’s ECB decision. The European Central Bank lowered interest rates for the seventh time since last June due to global trade tensions threatening the region's economic recovery.
