Today’s Podcast Features are:
Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist, discusses how US tariffs on copper imports could be imposed within several weeks, earlier than expected. US President Donald Trump in February directed the Commerce Department to open an investigation into potential copper tariffs and submit a report within 270 days, though it’s now expected to be resolved sooner, said the people who asked not to be identified because the discussions are confidential.
Sally Bakewell, Bloomberg US Finance Team Leader, discusses average Wall Street bonuses surging last year, with the total pool for payouts jumping to a record $47.5 billion as industry profits soared. The average annual bonus rose by almost a third, to $244,700, the first significant increase since the Covid-19 pandemic, according to estimates by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Andrew Silvernail, International Paper CEO, discusses the latest company news, including earnings and investor day. Full-year and fourth quarter net earnings include a pre-tax charge of $395 million for accelerated depreciation and restructuring charges, including $334 million related to the previously announced closure of the Company's Georgetown, S.C. pulp mill.
