Time is up for Boris Johnson as we get where the prime minister is finally ready to resign. Let's go live to London and get the latest with Bloomberg's You and Potts. Good morning, you, and good morning Nathan and Karen. Boris Johnson says he's quitting as Britain's Prime minister even by we and standards has

been a dramatic day on Downing Street. A snowstorm of resignations from the government at the beginning of the week became an avalanche by yesterday. In total, more than fifty ministers and aids leaving their jobs in protest. But perhaps the final blow came today when the Chance that the second most senior member of the government's only appointed to the job on Tuesday, tweeted that Boris Johnson must go now. Well, the PM is finally given into the pressure and is

now preparing his resignation speech. Nathan, all right, well you and when is Boris Johnson expected to actually leave office? One? Are the next steps for the UK government? Well, today's news means that the UK is set to have its fourth leader within just six years now. Remember, the Conservative Party still has a majority in the British Parliament, so it's up to the party to choose a new leader who will then take over as the British Prime Minister.

And leadership contest is set to get underway in the coming days, with the new PM likely to be in place by October. Live in London, I'm you in port spin by daybreak? How are you? And thank you?

hundred in London is up nine tenths per cent. Well, Britain grapples with political turmoil Karen. The war in Ukraine rages on, and now the US and its allies are firming up plans for a cap on the price of Russian oil. The goal is to limit the Kremlin's ability to finance its war. Amy Morris has the details from our Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. They're discussing a cap between

forty and sixty dollars a barrel. The aim is to cut Moscow's revenue for its war in Ukraine, but the risk is that it would lead to a spike in oil prices. German Chancellor Olof Schultz accused Russia of using natural gas deliveries as a political weapon. The invasion of Ukraine has also forced several European countries to dial back their plans for decarbonization so they can compensate for those cuts and Russian fuel supplies. In Washington, I'm anymore at

Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Amy, thank you, and turning to the economy now. Investors are still reacting to yesterday's Fed minutes, and they're also looking ahead to tomorrow's jobs report to get the details. Live with the Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, Good morning, Karen. Minutes from the Fed show central bank officials solidified the resolved to keep raising interest rates for longer. They viewed maintaining the central banks credibility to control inflation

as critical. That his investors still betting the Fed will hike by seventy five basis points later this month. Meantime, economists forecast US employers added the fewest jobs in over a year in June, but they say that expended slowdown isn't too concerning just yet. The jobs report from the Labor Department expected to show the unemployment rate remaining at an historically low level. Live in New York, I'm John Tucker,

All right, John, Thanks, talk about an economy of a difference sort Now, billionaires and high fires from the tech and media worlds are all in sun Valley, Idaho, for the annual Allen and Company conference. Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow is there too and found this report. A lot of the big picture macro items are what a top of mind. There are discussions around inflation, recession risk, the volatility that we've seen in public equity markets, the rundown evaluations that

New York Mayor Eric Adams held a brown table style meeting involving community groups and the NYPD. Adams was asked about the

problem of abuse of landlords in the city. We're going to go back and see how we use the Human Rights Division, the Police Department of DA's office to target those who arrests who are harassing older adults, because you know, it's it's against the law to illegally vet, it's against the law to harass, and I don't think there's enough attention on zero and on those bad acting on landlords. Hey Randams dealt with a range of issues from oversight

of homeless shelters and budget. Mayor Adams said the police budget remained flat. Can't live in a city where young people pick up a gun faster that they can get an iPad. Days after a rooftop gunmen killed seven people at the Chicago area Fourth of July parade, attention has turned to how the assailant obtained multiple guns. Authorities say

Robert Kremo, the third confessed to the killings. Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jugman says he's quote disappointed that more couldn't have been done to prevent Cremo from getting his hands on a gun, but he believes his department did all it could. Given the constraints of what we have in place, there is only so much the police department can do. We have a social worker on board, you know,

we do what we can ve. Jogman says Cremo was heading to Madison, Wisconsin to carry out another attack, but changed his mind.

Now here's Michael Barr with more and what's going on around the world. Muchael, Thank you very much, Karen. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has agreed to resign. Johnson and buff calls bias cabinet to step down in the wake of ethics scandals. He gave in after more than forty ministers quit his government and told him to go.

We'll have more on the Johnson story in a few moments. In baseball, the Yankees know what for and why whipping on the Pirates sixteen nothing. The Mets also won the Nationals Orioles and Giants won. The Red Sox lost along with the a's global news twenty four hours a day on here and on Bloomberg Quittake, powered by more than journalists and analysts more than twenty countries. I'm Michael Barr,

and this is Bloomberg. Nathan alright, Michael, thank you. It's five nineteen on Wall Street, live from the Bloomberg Intteractive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and speaking of what for and why whippings, Boris Johnson is now finally planning to resign after a wave of resignations that made the last forty eight hours very tough to keep up with

in terms of UK politics. Luckily, we have Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden back with us this morning outside number ten Downing Street, where she's been keeping post over the last couple of days here watching all that's been happening. Lizzie. I've got to think it's been feeling like swimming against a flood, just trying to keep up with all that's going on. And now we have what looks like the then you

are here. Perhaps it has and let me tell you, last night it seemed inevitable that Boris Johnson was going to resign, and we waited and waited and nothing came. Then when I arrived in Downing Street this morning, we weren't sure if anything was going to happen. It was very quiet, and then the staffers started arriving, and then the cars started moving, and then now I could tell you it's absolutely heaving in the press area with cameras from all over the world. We're expecting to hear from

Boris Johnson by noon London time. There's no podium out yet in front of Number ten, but the tone of the speech will be fascinating. Remember his predecessor to reason May was in tears when she resigned. There are twindows twitching, curtains twitching across the street of people trying to buy for the best spot to watch, because what's happened is the usual Number ten meeting. This morning has resulted in Johnson's core team telling him that he had to go.

There was a letter from his chancellor, Nadine Zahawi, who's been appointed. He's been in posed less than twenty fourty eight hours and he's told Johnson to resign. There's been an unprecedented wave of resignations, almost a third of the government, leaving it in para paralysis, and it just seemed increasingly inevitable. After the pest Minster as it's called, sex scandals, the party gate crisis, the cost of living crisis, it's all mounted up and it now seems finally it's going to

be cursins for Boris Johnson. And as you mentioned, we are expecting this resignation speech in less than two hours time. Here we've been told Lizzie that Boris Johnson is planning to stay on as a caretaker leader until the next Prime Minister is chosen by the Conservative Party. Can he stay on that long given that so many of his own party members of jump ship. Well, we're hearing already pushed back from MPs on that point breaking line that Quasi Kuakeng is saying that we need to find a

new leader as soon as reasonably practicable. One MP said that there needs to be an abrupt holt to the Johnson's poison and that the Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Robb should step in. Remember, if you think about Boris Johnson's time in office at the moment, it would be one thousand, sev days. His predecessor, to reason May was in for one thousand, one hundred and six days, so he'd have a short tenure than May if he leaves now, but

not if he stays on as a caretaker. But in any case, it's a humiliating end to a political career of someone who only three years ago one of the biggest landslide since Margaret Thatcher. As you mentioned, though, it's a short tenure. But it's been like scandal after scandal after scandal for this Prime minister. I'm curious why this last scandal involving Chris Pincher seems to be the one

that was the final straw for so many MPs. Well, it started with the resignation of Satage Other, the Health Secretary, and that was quickly followed i think ten minutes later by that of the Chancellor x now ex Chancel and now Rischie Sunac, and in their resignation letters it's focused on integrity that they couldn't defend this the government line on the Chris Pincher affair any longer, and that has

been the case for other MPs as well. Rischie Sunac, though in his letter, also pointed out his fundamental differences from Boris Johnson on his handling of the economy. He couldn't stay on board with Boris Johnson's boosts. He said in the letter. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So it would be interesting to see of the people put the MPs who put themselves forward to replace Boris Johnson, what their economic offerings will be because we're in the middle of a cost of living

crisis in the UK. Inflation set to hit double digits in the fall, so economics is going to be crucial on It's going to be very interesting to see who continues to jockey for position. Now what comes next after Boris Johnson. Lizzie Burden Bloomberg News corresponded with us this morning once again outside number ten Downing Street. Will be looking for more of your coverage throughout the day and

for Boris Johnson's resignation speech. As Lizzie mentioned, that's expected around noon UK time, that's seven am Wall Street time.

It's five thirty nine on Wall Street. The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. With each passing day, the brave new world of crypto currencies is looking more like the perilous old world of Wall Street. Circa nine. Supposedly stable investments are proving to be anything but tillions of dollars in virtual wealth have vanished. Their right response is relief, relief that things didn't get even worse. Rarely has a

crisis been so well timed. Crypto managed to boom and crash before it became too connected to the broader financial system. The damage has been limited mostly to those who, despite ample warning, chose to get involved. There's no need for emergency intervention. On the contrary, the bubble's deflation affords regulators and investors a unique opportunity to reflect. Unlessons learned, Perhaps the speculative frenzy surrounding crypto will give way to the

development of truly valuable applications. For the time being, though, it's better to keep a safe distance. This editorial was written by the Bloomberg Opinion Editorial Board. I'm David Shipley.

Well, in the last couple of hours we've seen the cars arriving, the cameras and now the clowds are developing beyond the gates of Downing Street because we're expecting to hear from Boris Johnson in the next few hours. There's no podium in front of Number ten yet, but he'll be interesting to hear the tone of his resignation speech. Remember Theresa May, his predecessor,

was teary. But finally we're at the point where Boris Johnson is handing in his resignation after an unprecedented wave of resignations from his government. It was in it was paralyzed. About a third of the government had quit and those resignations keep on coming. It seems that the lesson from his chancellor, newly appointed Chancellor A. Deeza Harwe, was one of the things that pushed Boris Johnson to the edge. Uh just telling Boris Johnson to resign, but it had

seemed increasingly inevitable. We've had the recent Chris Pincher, a bear the latest chapter in the Peasants sex scandal, Party Gate, the crisis that saw Boris Johnson the first sitting prime ministers to be found to have broken the law and on top of that the cost of living crisis in the UK were expecting to see inflation hitting double digits in the four So this is finally the moment where Boris Johnson is it seems to be decided to call

it Curtains. Yeah, and it looks as though this will be the final resignation of this wave and it's going to set up a new leadership election. Lizzie, how's that going to work? Well, it's in two stages and it takes several months. The first stage is the shortlisting stage where mp put their own names into the hats and over several rounds Tory MP for whittle that lifts down to two the ideas to keep out the extreme names.

And then the second stage is it goes to the grass troops members to move it down just to one name on who gets picked. But the time scales breach of those stages are set up by the nineteen twenty two Committee of Conservatives Backbenches and if it takes till October to find a new leader. That would only leave them fourteen months to set a new agenda before a general election. But whoever takes over doing so in a

time of absolute crisis, economic undue political. So I have to think then that there's probably already some jockey and going on behind the scenes members of the Conservative Party looking to firm up support. Who are we hearing in terms of names of people who are thinking of taking over as prime minister now? Well, in a way you could split the candidates into those who quit and those who stayed till the end. Those who quit include a Rishi Soon actss former Chancellor and Sage Javit, the former

Health secretary, strong hint around their statements and letters of resignation. Uh. Then there are those who stayed to the end, like Liz trust for Foreign Secretary here and she's coming back from G twenty meeting in Indonesia. Also Ben Wallace Defense Secretary. But they they're on the one hand, those who've stayed seemed to be tarnished by the proximity to Boris Johnson. But for lots of Tory Party members, those who've left

will seem to have betrayed Boris Johnson. So we'll see how the grassroots vote, but their economics could be key, as I say, were in the midst of a cost of living crisis. But then those with military links military backgrounds could also started a good chance because of course we have the war in Ukraine going on as well. Bloomberg's Lizzie Burton, thanks again for being with us this morning from outside Number ten Downing Street, as we await

that resignation speech. We are expecting it later today from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and this headline just across the Bloomberg terminal, Sky News is reporting that that speech is expect did around mid day, so it could be coming in the next couple of hours. Here, of course, we will have it for you live here on Bloomberg Radio. In the meantime, we want to get to look at some of the market reaction here. For that, we're pleased to be joined now by St. Dwack, chief investment officer

at Flow Bank. St. Good morning. I'm sure you saw on your terminal the spike in the pound on the news that Boris Johnson plans to resign. What are you looking for in terms of market reaction to what's happening in the UK. Good morning. Absolutely, we've seen a small

move in the pound, but clearly upwards. Uh. The pound is usually the best barometer of what's happening in the UK because UK stalks tend to react more with global stocks and they'll react a little bit less to the politics, so that the pound is really the good indicator to keep an eye on. Still a lot of uncertainty, I think, Uh, the speech that's coming up is going to be the first step that he is actually resigned ing um, so

that'll be good for the markets. And then still a bit of uncertainty because in the best case scenario it looks like we're talking about October, so it's still a few months with a lot of resignations. And of course the backdrop in the UK isn't fantastic, right you have this very high risk of recession, extremely high inflation, a difficult conundrum for the central bank, possibly even worse than

in some of the other regions. So the view for the pound is is certainly an improvement if you have less uncertainty, if you have someone who might be a little more euro friendly, but was still a lot of work to go before it can recover significantly. Obviously, the dynamics in the UK are are somewhat different from what we see in the U S. But Lizzie mentioned a housing crisis in the UK, and we have inflation concerns here,

possibility of recession. We heard from the Fed yesterday in the Minutes the resolve to keep raising interest rates to cool inflation. What does that mean for investors? I think you have to take yesterday's minutes with a little bit of a grain assault, just because, uh, there's a few weeks old, right, and we know that at the FED meeting, there was the May CPI that's surprised to the upside. There was the University of Michigan inflation expectations that has

been revised down since. And we've seen a couple of data points showing that a few maybe the beginning of cracks in the economy and certainly some disinflationary pressures that should be coming through relatively quickly, including commodity prices. So we know the Fed is going to continue to talk tough, They're probably going to continue to act tough. I think you could have almost a dovish fifty basis points, uh, depending on the June CPI that comes out next week.

But we'll still have to probably get through the summer before you have enough data points both on inflation and on growth for the FED to not be I'd say only focus on inflation and to maybe realize that inflation is coming down and they've already tight and quite significantly. I'm not calling for a pause, but at least an acknowledgement of an evolving situation compared to this spring. Are going to get another big backward looking data point tomorrow

with the June jobs report. What's your expectation there and what could that mean for the Fed? We've only got about a minute left here. Well, it's one of those you want it to be soft but not too soft. You don't want to have recession fears with too bad a print, but you don't want it to be too high and then have those FED expectations rise again in

terms of tightening. So it's a fine line to thread, but I do think it will be slightly on the softer side, even though there is quite a bit of a cushion before you start see really disappointing news in terms of the US labor market. As always, thanks for giving us your insights. SD really appreciated. St dwag is chief investment officer at Flow Bank. As we take a look at a market that's uh poised for gains for equity investors, particularly in Europe. This morning, right now on

Look at the docks in Germany, it's top about one and a half percent. So it's the catc in Paris and the foot scene London hired by one point two percent. Ten. Your treasuries down ten thirty seconds, the yield two point nine six percent. We have inversion between the two's and tens. The two year yield is above three at three point

zero three percent. Nim X screws up three quarters per cent, or seventy three cents, ninety nine dollars, twenty six cents of barrel, just shy of a hundred, and the British clown one point one nine nine zero against the dollar.
