Podcasts about Barkin

With mounting pressure from President Trump and investors to lower interest rates, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve's upcoming decision later this month.    In this bonus episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Gunjan Banerji is joined by Tom Barkin, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, to discuss the future of monetary policy, inflation and tariffs, and why he's in no rush to cut interest rates.  Plus, Barkin shares why he likens the current economic environment to “driving through fog,” the connection between consumer sentiment and spending, and how AI could reshape the job market. Finally, Barkin gives his take on whether investors should be expecting a recession any time soon.  This interview was recorded on June 26. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

Nossos sócios Gabriel Abelheira, Sarah Campos e Yara Cordeiro debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o foco foi a reunião do Fed: a decisão foi por manter os juros inalterados, como amplamente esperado, mas o SEP revelou um comitê dividido. Houve revisão para cima nas projeções de inflação, e o Powell adotou tom cauteloso, destacando a resiliência da economia e os riscos associados às tarifas. A comunicação dos dirigentes seguiu heterogênea: o Waller defendeu corte já em julho, enquanto o Barkin reforçou a necessidade de prudência. Ainda por lá, os dados de varejo de maio vieram mistos, apesar do headline mais fraco. No cenário geopolítico, o conflito entre Israel e Irã segue ocorrendo, e as atenções estão voltadas para a decisão americana de envolvimento ou não na guerra, com o Trump alegando preferir seguir pelo caminho da diplomacia. No Brasil, o Copom subiu a Selic em 0,25%, mantendo o balanço de riscos e as projeções de 2026 inalteradas. O comunicado sinalizou o fim do ciclo, mas reforçou a necessidade de manter os juros contracionistas por bastante tempo. No Congresso, a Câmara aprovou a urgência do projeto que suspende os efeitos do decreto do IOF; foram derrubados diversos vetos presidenciais; e foi criada a CPMI para investigação das fraudes no INSS. Nos EUA, os juros tiveram movimentos pouco expressivos (vértice de 2 anos fechando 4 bps), assim como as bolsas - S&P 500 -0,15%, Nasdaq -0,02% e Russell 2000 +0,42%. No Brasil, o jan/26 abriu 12 bps, enquanto o jan/35 fechou 15 bps; o Ibovespa caiu 0,07% e o real valorizou 0,48%. Na próxima semana, será importante acompanhar a comunicação dos membros do Fed, os dados de atividade na Europa e, por aqui, a ata do Copom, o Relatório de Política Monetária, dados de inflação (IPCA-15), crédito, mercado de trabalho e confianças – além do projeto de corte linear dos benefícios tributários a ser apresentado pela equipe econômica.
