Balance of Power

Snow and dangerously bitter cold have begun to spread from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes as a massive storm pushes toward the US Northeast, disrupting travel and threatening power outages for much of the nation.

The storm is expected to span nearly 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers), bringing heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero wind chill to some of the biggest US cities. Natural gas prices surged on concern iced-over equipment will choke supplies. Airlines have already canceled more than 3,000 flights and Amtrak has pulled dozens of trips from its schedule. 

Chicago schools were closed Friday as the third-largest US district braced for wind chills of -30F (-34), while ski resorts in Michigan took the unusual step of shutting slopes because of the extreme cold.

US Braces for Massive Winter Storm

Oil fell as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy discussed plans for trilateral meetings with the US and Russia.

West Texas Intermediate traded below $60 a barrel on Thursday. Any breakthrough to end Moscow’s war in Ukraine could iron out supply disruptions and end sanctions on Russian crude in an already oversupplied global market, sapping a longstanding geopolitical risk premium.

Signs of ample supply were evident in a US government report that showed US crude stockpiles rose 3.6 million barrels last week, while fuel stocks rose across the board.

President Donald Trump said he was seeking immediate talks on the US acquiring Greenland while saying he did not plan to use force, during an address to the world’s business and political elite in Davos on Wednesday.

“I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history,” Trump told attendees of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Trump Presses NATO on Greenland at Davos

Along the illustrious Davos Promenade, the US administration has taken over a 19th century church that’s been reconsecrated for the week as a shrine to business and politics. On the eve of President Donald Trump’s arrival, a banner hangs behind USA House spelling out, “House of God.” 

It’s as good a visual cue as any for the power plays ahead as Trump descends on the Swiss Alps for the first time since 2020 in the final year of what was, with the benefit of hindsight, a more restrained first term. That goes for European leaders as well as the gullible billionaires duped into buying fake tickets for access to Trump’s entourage.

Iran may have averted US strikes for now by pledging not to execute protesters after pressure from President Donald Trump.

Trump told reporters Wednesday he had been informed the “killing in Iran is stopping,” adding he would be “very upset” if the crackdown continued. That was a marked shift from earlier in the week, when he urged Iranians to keep demonstrating and vowed that “help is on the way.”

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said a “fundamental disagreement” remained after a meeting of top diplomats in Washington, while announcing an agreement to form a high-level working group on Greenland amid threats of a US takeover.

Trump Toughens Greenland Rhetoric

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Donald Trump has relied on social media posts and Washington interviews in recent weeks to flesh out a more populist economic message that he hopes will help Republicans keep control of Congress. 

On Tuesday he’ll make those arguments in a key battleground state. 
As voters express mounting frustration over the president’s economic agenda and the cost of living, Trump will visit a factory making Ford Motor Co. F-150 trucks and promote his tariff and manufacturing policies at an event sponsored by the Detroit Economic Club.

Trump Takes Populist Economic Plans to Battleground Michigan

President Donald Trump faced rare opposition from key Republican lawmakers after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell accused the Department of Justice of launching a grand jury investigation to pressure and intimidate the central bank.

Powell Probe Sparks GOP Backlash

Analysis that Justice Department subpoenas on the Federal Reserve -- similar to President Donald Trump's bid to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook -- is unlikely to succeed led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 12 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. BI Senior Litigation Analyst Elliott Stein discussed how a criminal conviction, and perhaps even an indictment, is unlikely. We also showed how we think Trump's desire for a 10% cap on credit card interest is unlikely to succeed, but pressure will remain on companies like Capital One, Synchrony, Mastercard and Visa. Finally, we previewed planned crypto Senate markups.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.
