Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Alix Steel Today’s Podcast Features are: David Welch, Bloomberg Detroit Bureau Chief, recaps GM earnings. General Motors is pulling earnings guidance for 2025 and putting $4 billion in share buybacks on hold until it has more clarity on the impact of US tariffs. David Gura, Correspondent for Bloomberg, and Host of 'The Big Take' podcast" discusses Canada’s election. Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth straight election, as voters chose former central banker Mark Carney to manage the country’s response to US President Donald Trump’s trade war. Ted Swimmer, Head of Capital Markets and Advisory at Citizens Bank, discusses the latest on capital markets, the IPO market, and private markets. He discusses the evolution of the private credit space -- where traditional banks are increasingly partnering with private lenders. David also talks about how lenders are protecting themselves from private credit deals going bad through the use of unique covenants. Ben Miller, Co-Founder and CEO at Fundrise, discusses the state of commercial real estate. In the longer term, starting with the naming of a new Fed chair in May of 2026, Ben expects rates to come down significantly and quickly. He thinks even in a low rates/low growth environment (like the 2010’s), this would be a gift to real estate owners/investors. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
