Global news 24 hours a day on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. I am karina mitchell. Shery u. S. Stocks closed down from session highs on the potential white house retaliation, highlights into the fragile state of the market. We get the outlook from david. Consumers to confidence stabilizing, jamie dimon with an about optimistic view. This is bloomberg. We have the november election but until november, markets hold. We are seeing impressive performance. There was a chance will have a healthy ipo market. Haidi more sides of fertility with u. S. Markets. Futures are slightly down after the index started with a close below the psychologically key 3000 point level. Lets get more insight with david kotok, chairman and cio of cumberland advisors. He joins us by phone. We have been tossing around this question with implications of Economic Data and exuberance we have seen in the recovery for some time. What are you seeing . Is it the case there are not real alternatives . I dont know about the longterm returns because it is so hard to guess at what they are. ,ntil we get across the valley get beyond the virus, get to the ks dean, get the antibody get to the vaccine, get the antibody test, it is hard to see the other side. We have estimates of what we think the damage will ultimately economics will look like two years from now. This is a global pandemic. It is going to reduce growth rates, do damage. The markets seem to be ignoring that. Lots ofets are saying liquidity, lots of central bank support. They are celebrating the outlook. Lets hope we get the positive outlook rather than a second wave which will be a shock for the markets and economies. We hope for the better outcome. That is how things look to me. For an astute investor, you talk about liquidity. You can get some semblance of price discovery, given we have so Many Companies withdrawing guidance or giving guidance looking like downside of 20 for the next 12 months. We are struggling with that question because we have to take avoids and decide to them. The u. S. Stock market portfolios, with ink we think they have a long road a very active Worldwide Growth for all of the obvious reasons. The efg sector. We are overweight water, wind and solar. We think coming out of the pandemic experience will be an awakening that in some places thoselevate characteristics. Hegemonyedge enemy solar farm in nevada will our 2000 homes power 2000 homes. Reserve. Lding a cash we are not fully invested. We think the risk profile from this extraordinary pandemic experience is very high. While the like what we see ended is improving in markets and science is advancing vaccines, we are not fully invested. We have a cash reserve. Shery are there sectors of the market that have been going deep into different parts of the economy including the muni market . David we think so. The muni market in our view is one of the great bargains. Today, ife work on, you take the yield curves of inhest grade sovereign debt the United States, switzerland, germany and you take the aaa sovereign states of the United States, states like utah with bondscredit strength, the of those states are higher than the Interest Rates on taxable u. S. Treasury obligations. Taxfree tong about american taxpayers with at the same time, when you compare those with other jurisdictions in the world of highgrade credit, those greats rates are lower. It is not just for the american taxpayer. We are seeing foreigners come into the market to get additional yields. We call them crossover buyers. Payment of a raw higher interest payment. Haidi i alluded to this in my thet question but this is first question of the day. Why are we seeing this massive dislocation between real and Financial Markets . Is it because of the fiscal and stimulus being deployed globally . Thesis as to why we are seeing this . Nail on theit the head. We have the largest centralbank response ever. The largest fiscal response ever. The combination of the two is extremely powerful. Invites it provides investors who are willing to look down the road through the three years, because the earnings this year will be terrible, economics this year, terrible. If they are look willing to look to or three years down the road, they say when we get beyond this, this will be the place to be, equity investors. The Interest Rates on highgrade debt are likely to be lower for longer. That is a decision. With the liquidity firepower as great as it is, stocks have been up because they dont have selling pressure. Is other thing i would add that the selloff was so sharp, so severe, the vix went to 80. Extraordinary. It is still high at 28. We can see gradually acceptance of risktaking. That would suggest the stock market in the United States can go higher and i will add one more. I think stock markets around the world will start to improve and be robust and in the Asian Countries, because the Asian Countries have more experience with this type of pandemic than the United States or the western countries. South korea is an example of a country that knows what to do and how to do it. A population of 50 Million People, they are testing and addressing the virus. There are other examples as well. Shery how much would that have to do with valuations given things across asia seem much cheaper . Bargainsey look like to me. The issue is can we look across the valley and get to the vaccines and the treatment protocols that allow opening up and resumption of activities . Will the surviving companies have learned from these experiences . We will have a selection process. The surviving companies and businesses that will trade on the stock exchanges will be powerful enterprises unlike anything we have seen. The result of such a tragic event in history will be proven again to be the source of the next growth spurt once we get beyond it. We have always had that as the sequence. It is a shame because we are losing many hundreds of thousands of people to death and millions to illness. Nobody wanted it. Nobody asked for it. But coming out of it, i am an optimist the world will be a and the, better place entrepreneurial spirit will suppress the virus and we will go on. [indiscernible] haidi we will leave it there. Thank you very much, david kotok. Dont miss the exclusive interview ahead. We will be joined by kim stafford to discuss the Coronavirus Impact on client interest. This is bloomberg.

Shery hong kong is bracing for the largest day of unrest in months with fresh protests and calls by student groups and a Prominent Trade Union body for citywide strikes. The rallies are to demonstrate against National Security laws by beijing and something that would criminalize disrespect of chinas National Anthem. We have seen that pandemic and the social business and restrictionss social distancing restrictions stalling the protests.

We also talked to a veteran prodemocracy campaigner and another. Theone man tells us how fresh unrest is affecting the hong kong Property Market already reeling from the virus. Here is another check of the markets. We are seeing u. S. Futures down. 2 . This after we saw that late trade that sent the s p 500 low 3000 after staying most of the u. S. Session above that. We have reports about the u. S. Considering sanctions on chinese officials. Nikkei futures down. 1 . Japanese yen trading on the row range, above 100 seven 107. 50. We are seeing strength for the aussie dollar. We had high lawyer Higher Oil Prices helping. Qb stocks are higher. 6 . The rbnzs semiannual Financial Stability report saying the banks are wellpositioned to downturn the economic caused by the covid19 pandemic. U. S. Consumer sentiment is picking up with the latest data signaling they believe the virus is a temporary phenomenon. We will talk to the chief economist of that board bart van ark next. This is bloomberg. Shery jamie dimon is optimistic the u. S. Will see a fast economic rebound from the third quarter. He spoke at a Virtual Conference hosted by deutsche bank. The rate we are thinking about today is the base case that hopefully this will happen. I give it good odds. The government has been responsive, the Federal Reserve has been responsive to the Large Companies have huge wherewithal. Hopefully we keep the Small Companies alive long enough most of them get back into business. Shery this comes as u. S. Consumer confidence stabilizes, saying he is not the only one optimistic the hit from the pandemic will be shortlived. Joining us now is the mac responsible for the the man responsible for the Consumer Price index. Tell us about how americans are feeling about the present situation and their expectations about the future. Thank you. There is a little bit of good news. We have had two months of historically large declines. You would hope at some point it will stabilize. You are right. It stabilize better than we expected stabilized better than we expected. It is a small improvement. You break it down and you see there is optimism and pessimism. Employment conditions and Business Conditions are very and declined further compared to april. When we look at expectations, this is quite different. There are three components in expectations. Business conditions, that is where we become optimistic and we see businesses reopening and that makes it more hopeful there will be businesses that can engage in the next six months. Jobs, the more optimistic consumers it has not improved a lot. Our main concern is the income side. We see a continued deterioration of consumers thinking this will not be very well Going Forward. That raises the question when businesses open up, how much are consumers going to spend . Shery how does that translate feelings of income into Consumer Spending in the future . In the past when we have seen these levels at such lows, what has happened to peoples mindset . Bart it depends on whether they think they will get jobs back. Whether that is seeing Financial Markets recovering and the case. I think overall what we see there is what started as a supply crisis, we shut down businesses around the country and consumers could not consume. Now once they come out, how much has the Balance Sheets been hurt. Be . Ow company will we there is always pentup demand. People will go purchase, but the amount of hurting has been happening on the services side. Restaurants closing down, vacations not being taken. Consumers can go back but if you does not have a dinner with your friends in march, it doesnt mean in june you will have two dinners. That is a concern Going Forward. Pentuphe idea of return of demand. One of the confounding numbers we had yesterday was the april new home sales for homebuilders data. That increased against expectations of what you would expect to see fall. Given the last recession was caused by the crash in the housing market, if that side of things holds up, is that bullish for Consumer Sentiment . Bart this is not across a housing crisis at the moment. Some consumers might have taken a chance to purchase good homes. But when we look forward, the longer this recession lasts, the more likely the pain will spread. Real estate and so on are going to benefit. It is all a bit of good news things are beginning to stabilize, but we should not over do this through this is a long haul and there is a lot of uncertainty. What about expectations of the labor market . We know that when unemployment surges in the way it has, a lot of those jobs wont come back. Is that would people who are surveyed are fearing as well . Bart we do. The more consumers optimistic jobs will come back because we have seen this unprecedented decline in jobs, so once business reopening, jobs will come back. There is a lot of uncertainty how good the jobs will be. Businesses may decide to employ people parttime, not really pay as much as they did before the crisis because businesses have been hurt. I think that workers dont see this as a good labor market going ahead. The first thing is for them is to make sure they get a job back. I think it will be a while before we are back to where we were before the crisis and people felt they had solid jobs or were beginning to see more rate increases. We talked ages ago about labor shortages and it is unlikely we will see any of that. What we also see is some segments, minority groups, young people, female, women have been hurt in particular. There are big differences demographyies how they are being hurt. Haidi always appreciate your time. Coming up next, the rbnz says banks are wellpositioned to withstand the coronavirus. We will get more details on that is the governor prepares to speak at the top of the hour. This is bloomberg. Haidi bank of new Zealand Governor set to hold a conference in a few minutes after the rbnz released its Financial Stability report. They say the countrys banks are wellpositioned to withstand the economic downturn triggered by the coronavirus shutdown. More losses are likely though. They are saying they are in a good position but it is not infinite in terms of the strength that institutions have. David that is right. There is a lot of uncertainty with this whole situation. The rbnz is doing its best to see through the fog. It does express confidence in new zealands banking system. And they have strong Tier One Capital buffers in australia as well. You can understand his areidence that loan losses expected. The buffers should help absorb all of that. They can keep supplying to the economy. But these smaller ones, they could the less able to withstand any shocks. Be less able to withstand any shocks. Housing prices are likely to fall in new zealand. Hes he suspects sustained impact on the economy and said some of them will fail. Plenty of unknowns heading into the future of the rbnz. We will be hearing more in just a little while. Shery new zealand has been quite successful when it has come to stopping the spread of the virus. What are we seeing in terms of the governments plan for the economic path forward . Paul it is an interesting situation. The deputy Prime Minister who is not part of the Majority Party he is a minor Coalition Party without him they would not be able to govern he has broken ranks with the government and cabinet conventions. He said there is disagreement about the cabinet table the path forward. He said the country should be on level one now and covid19 is no longer the enemy. The enemy is the inability to turn the economy around as fast as possible. The next assessment on moving to ease restrictions on new zealand is june 8. There is no surprise he is doing this. There is an Election Year coming. Right now this party is pulling beyond the threshold. Polling beyond the threshold. He would be looking to distinguishes party. We might see more of this as we go into the election in september. Shery paul allen with the latest. Lets get a quick check of business flash headlines. Chinese Food Delivery Service has joined the 100 billion club after reporting a smaller than expected slide in revenue. Shares surged in hong kong, extending gains since march and passed theirem historic mark. This also means the founders fortune has nearly doubled to more than 10 billion.

A rescue package would include cash from founder richard branson. Nearly nine years after astronauts last launched into space from u. S. Soil, nasa and spacex are teaming up for a historic appointment. A crew will the deployed on wednesday. Iss is the first time spacex sending a manned rocket into space. Emily chang looks at how elon musks company arrived at this point. 3, 2, 1. Emily for the First Time Ever spacex is spending sending the most valuable cargo into space, two astronauts. The two will go on a mission that could revolutionize how we get to the final frontier. At any access to space cost. Emily the Government Agency awarding 3. 1 billion to spacex and 4 billion to boeing, which could save them money. Costpace Shuttle Program an estimated 200 billion. We spent 17 years to get to this point. From 2002 to now. I am a little emotionally exhausted. Emily that emotionally charged journey for ceo and founder elon musk began in 2002 with the creation of spacex. Stage one propulsion is nominal. Emily that was designed to make space travel more affordable by reusing booster rockets that can land themselves after a launch. All with this ultimate goal in mind. I really believe in the future of space. I think it is important we become a spacefaring civilization and be out there among the stars. Emily eight years after the founding, spacex introduced a reusable rockets that has been shuttling supplies to the International Space station since 2012. There have been setbacks as they work to perfect the reusable rocket technology, but since then they have been landing rockets on land and sea. I always thought we would fail. So this is all i am saying is it is worth trying anyway. First three launches did not work. The fourth one, we scraped together some parts and that one worked. Is that one have not worked, that would have been it for us. Emily other milestones included launching commercial satellites, including its star link satellite to provide safe internet. The Company Launched the first recycled falcon 9 in 2017. A reusable booster to take place part in up to 100 launches. And the falcon heavy in 2018, phase three takes three falcon 9 strapped together, and a tesla with a human looking driver on board. It is a mannequin. All of these leading to the first test of the dragon capsule in 2019. That would carry the most valuable cargo, human astronauts. The first launch was unmanned, but it was successful which is what made the next one possible. The liftoff from 39a, traveling at the speed of 17,000 miles an hour to the International Space station and bring them back home hopefully safe and sound, securing musks status as a new kind of space pioneer.
