What trade deal is the EU expected to ratify with the U.S.?
EU lawmakers are expected to vote on ratifying the bloc's trade deal with the U.S. now that President Trump has walked back his latest threat to impose tariffs on European allies. The deal between President Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte paves the way for NATO to beef up security in the Arctic region. The issue of sovereignty was not on the table. Secretary General Rutte
So what we discussed last night is the seven countries in the high north, including the United States, working together to protect against any adversary. And then also to make sure that when it comes to Greenland specifically, their economy, their military situation, Russia and China will never get access.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte speaking with Bloomberg in Davos. Intel shares are down more than 6% after that company gave a lackluster forecast for the current quarter caused by supply shortages, making it harder to meet customer demand. Intel CEO Liputan says Intel is struggling with manufacturing yields and that is hampering its comeback. But stocks ended the day higher. We bring you the closing numbers each day here at Bloomberg. S&P gained 38 points. NASDAQ up 211. The Dow gained 307 points. The 10-year Treasury yield at 4.25%. And the 2-year yield at 3.61%. And natural gas shares have been higher for the past couple of days as millions of Americans from New Mexico to the Carolinas are bracing for a potentially catastrophic ice storm that could knock out power for days.
Forecasters say Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston could see enough snow to make travel very difficult or nearly impossible. And it all starts tomorrow. It continues through the weekend. President Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and its chief executive officer, Jamie Dimon, for at least $5 billion over allegations that the lender stopped offering Trump banking services for political reasons. Now, back in February, Dimon denied rejecting any business on ideological grounds.
We don't debank people because of their political or religious affiliations. The rules and the requirements are so onerous, and it does cause people to be debanked who, in my opinion, should not be debanked.
JPMorgan said in a statement the suit has no merit in that it doesn't close accounts for political or religious reasons, but rather because of legal or regulatory risk for the company. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase says independent members of the board have approved a $43 million compensation for Diamond for 2025. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tore into Europe for its apparent lack of willingness to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin four years into the war in Ukraine.
But what about the ceasefire itself? Who can help make it happen? Europe loves to discuss the future but avoids taking action today. Action that defines what kind of future we will have.
Zelensky spoke after he rushed to Davos for a last-minute meeting with President Trump. Later on Air Force One, Trump told reporters that it was a very good meeting with Zelensky and that Zelensky told him he was ready to make a deal on Ukraine. Javier Millay defended Argentina's economic ties with China, saying his country had little choice but to pursue trade with Beijing.
My plan is to open up to the EU. to the United States and to China. I want an open economy. And if you look at the weight of the Chinese economy in the world, you will understand that I need to trade with China.
Millais sat down with Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwaite on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan criticized President Trump's proposal to impose a cap on credit card interest rates, saying it would slow consumer spending and make credit less available.
That would be pretty interesting. It would cause a lot of change in people's views of what they have available for credit. You want people to have it available for credit because that gives them the courage to spend.
