Trump to Name New Fed Governor, Investors Raise Bets on US Rate Cut | Daybreak Europe 8/4/2025

From Bloomberg Markets and Finance.

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.

On today’s show, the US President says he’ll name a new Fed Governor in the coming days, following the resignation of Adriana Kugler. Investors raise bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, with some predicting a bumper cut in September.

Donald Trump is also set to name a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Erika McEntarfer was fired on Friday after weak jobs data for July, and steep downward revisions for May and June.

Plus oil declines as OPEC+ approves another bumper output hike, reversing supply cutbacks a full year ahead of schedule.
