特朗普称伊朗核谈取得进展，油价连跌三日

News when you want it with Bloomberg News now. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Karen, we begin with the latest on peace talks with Iran. President Trump is hailing progress in indirect discussions as both countries look to move past last week's tit for tat strikes. The president's son in law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Wycoff are in Qatar for technical discussions. President Trump says he's aiming for lasting peace.

The renewed nuclear resolution of Iran is moving a lot. Well, they've had very good meetings and we'll see. We hit them very hard for three nights, as you know, but we're getting along very well. President Trump isn't specifying what, if any, breakthroughs have been made. Vice president JD Vance says technical talks carried out by lower level negotiators are continuing. Meanwhile, Nathan Oil falling for a third straight day as it flows to the Strait of Hormuz.

Climb checking prices right now. West Texas Intermediate is down more than 1% at $67.84 a barrel. Brent is also down about 1% at $70.81. and President Trump is touting that as well. Those votes are coming out of the almost straight. They're coming out by numbers that nobody ever saw. We're setting records, actually. The oil is dropping. We have some great oilmen here. I don't know if they're happier or said, I don't give a damn if the happier said, I want the prices to go down and the oil is dropping like nobody thought possible.

President Trump made those remarks at North Dakota following his tour of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Oil stockpiles in the U.S. have fallen to their lowest level since March of last year. Inventories outside strategic reserves are around 1.2 billion barrels. After 12 straight weeks of declines, carrying the other major war overseas appears to be ramping up. Ukrainian officials say Russia carried out one of its most intense drone and missile strikes on Kiev this year, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozens.

The country's foreign minister is calling for more air defense support from allies, calling the attacks, quote, grave war crimes. Meanwhile, Russia is indicating Ukraine may have used a ballistic missile in combat against it for the first time. The Kremlin says its air defenses shot that missile down. All right, let's stick with geopolitics, Nathan. The U.S. is suggesting giving greater benefits to NATO countries that spend more on defense.

U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker raised the prospect of a two tier alliance in an interview with Fox News. You know, we are going to be in Ankara and we're going to have the first report card, and we're going to demonstrate that our allies are stepping up that they've spent in the first year since The Hague defense commitment, over $100 billion on hard defense and capabilities and a commitment to to increasing that and ultimately equalizing with the United States.

It's significant, and it's only because of President Trump. U.S. NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker's remarks come ahead of a NATO summit in Turkey next week. President Trump is scheduled to attend. Germany's foreign minister is already rejecting Whitaker's proposal. He tells the German magazine Der Spiegel, quote, NATO is not about blind obedience. Karen, the Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into claims from Susquehanna International Group that unknown insider traders made $100 million on options bets ahead of a Chinese regulatory crackdown.

The quant trading firm went public with its claims in a lawsuit this week. It says it lost more than $70 million on most of the alleged trades. A federal judge granted Susquehanna his request for an order freezing accounts and Interactive Brokers, as well as platforms at Futu and Up fintech Holdings in the interest of transparency. We should note that Interactive Brokers advertises on Bloomberg Radio. Let's turn to the economy now, Nathan, and a key piece of data ahead of the July 4th holiday.

We get the June jobs report this morning, and Bloomberg's Michael McKee joins us with a preview. The holiday shortened week means June jobs are reported a day early this month, and traders won't have as much time to guess what the data mean for the fed. Recent hiring has been strong and the unemployment rate is stable. Most fed officials, including new chairman Kevin Warsh, have said they're not worried about the labor market sending any signals about a slowdown in the economy.

Their main concern at the moment is inflation, which puts more emphasis on any change in average hourly earnings. They have been falling, but if hiring is picking up, that could reverse raising fears the fed will be raising interest rates. Michael McKee Bloomberg Radio. All right, Michael, thank you Bloomberg Surveillance. We'll bring you the breaking jobs data and the context to go along with it. That's at 830 Wall Street time on Bloomberg Radio and the Bloomberg Business app.

Well, ahead of that report, Karen, we have heard from Fed Chair Kevin Moore, she spoke at the ECB's annual forum in Sintra, Portugal, and a panel with other central bankers. Warsh says price risks have come down in recent weeks, and he is determined to bring inflation back to the Fed's 2% target. We don't want to over determined things, but if there were people in household or the business sector in the financial markets who thought that this central bank was going to be comfortable with an inflation objective above 2%, well, I guess they'd be disappointed.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh also announced he's tapped former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King to co-chair the Fed's new task force on communications. And that's news when you wanted with Bloomberg News now. I'm Karen Moscow, I'm Nathan Hager and this is Bloomberg.
